Detailed my car finally!!!

**LETHALxLS1** · 04-30-2007, 08:50 AM

I detailed my car over the past couple of days. I need another back surgery and cant bend very well so its not perfect but I am pleased.
I did the following:
1) washed car using armorall car wash
2) Pinnacle intermediate swirl remover with Lake C. Orange pad with my Porter Cable set on #4
3) Pinnacle light swirl remover with Lake C. finishing pad with my Porter Cable set on #4
4) Hand applied Black Velvet wax for black cars

Here are a few pics but I didnt get any close ups-sorry

Its not a Goose detail job for sure!! That guy does some increadable work.
I couldnt do the wheelwells but maybe I can con my sister into doing it for me. LOL
Maybe when I lower my car the wheelwells wont be visable.

Looks awesome. It looks like it brought the black out of the car. Nice job!

Thanks it really did. My car could really use a paint job but I am happy for now. It had massive scratches in the hood and rear wing and they are not noticable anymore(those scratches were making me sick!!!).

looks good man. i cleaned up my car this past weekend and took off the side trim molding. i made a post of it in the appearance forum.

our black cars look so good clean!

I know it looks cool to take the molding off but wal-mart is hell for shopping carts into the side of your car and dont forget the idiots that just swing their doors open so far it smacks your door.Gotta love that.

i park in BFE, so that never happens. plus when im not driving her, she's in storage away from all that badness...

Looks darn good!

I know how hard Black can be to keep looking good. I feel your pain!

Literally, when I had a black T/A, I would throw my back out cleaning that sucker!

Now that you have the PC, keep practicing. The Pinnacle line is pretty good. There are also a lot of products, of which I could recommend to you that will do an outstanding job using the PC
