ok to start off i have been detailing for roughly 2 years now. I worked in a very high end detail shop locally in town called Trusted Detailing where we detail high end vehicles and do presidential details on them...ok i bought this car from some guy over in seattle,wa that obviously doesnt know how to wax his cars or wash them...here are some before pics and then come the after....keep in mind these pictures were takin over a year ago and so there are some weird angles sorry guys...

here is the day i got the car what it looked like before i washed it..



and here is the engine bay pic....sorry for quality but you can see it



here are a couple more of the outside...





here you can see it has holograms...








AFTER pics....color got a lot more depth and changed color to a bit darker it has a 12 stage buff...

 

here are tons of after pics and these are with it being buffed many times after..... ENJOY













now this is with a new drivers side fender it had a pinstripe on it i havent taken off yet...



this how it looks dirty...the dirt doesnt stick to bad anymore...

Just shows how a little work can make something look toally better.

 

thank you for comment

 

Paint looks pretty glossy.

You should invest into a better camera

 

Guess it looks good..hard to tell from pics...but shouldnt name your thread Presidential Detail...seeing how we already have Presidential DetailED who makes consistent threads showcasing his work...wouldnt want it to get confused with yours.

 

^ Agreed, but nice work nonetheless.

 

I'll tell you the same thing they always tell me. Get a better camera. A G10 or DLSR- people are very picky about clear, sharp, consistent photos of the car's progression when it comes to this sort of thing. I see the work you did, and trust me its a great job, but some of your photos also make you think there's not much more than silicone on the car.

So if you're ever worried about people not appreciating your work, its the pics not you. How does your process work? What tools and compounds/polishes/waxes do you use? Do you use a buffer or orbital or is it all by hand?

 

Nice work.

 

I can't really tell because of the pic quality.

 

sorry about picture quality guys it was with a cell phone but i got more pics im going to put up of my next detail i did

 

am i missing the presidential detail part? and the jdm part?

i'm confused.

 

Yeah, what do you mean by presidential detail? ...this is more like el presidente detail...

 

its just what we call our high end details at work i want to change title but dont know how...Jdm part is car silly..

 

this is no presidential detail, wheres the halogen bulb pics or the direct sun mirror finish pics,

please name your thread something else

question whats so jdm about it?

 

how do i change title i will...jeez

 

looks really good. what did you use/?

 

i used

* mulitple speed makita buffer


* meguiars m105 compound

* forgot name of polish

* 5 different pad styles ( course to smooth)

* a mirror finish polish

* then a detail wax

sorry its been a while i need to look up everything i used but this is just a jist.. thanks for comments guys

 

Rasky does way better work. It's an improvement though.
