My life is a- Ben Stiller movie.
ts|s Detailing: 71 Liquid Black LeMans
Try not to drool on your keyboards! This restoration took roughly 10 hours. Lots of body panels to work on and all the chrome needed polishing too. The engine bay needed a good bath too (i forgot to shoot after pix!!!! though )
Before shots:
Here you can see marring in the paint from poor washing/drying technique. This paint was SUPER soft so it had to be wiped down gently so as not to mar the finish again.
Engine got a bath too. Always block off your air intake and cover your alternator! I use aluminum foil around the alternator, it's water proof and conforms around things really great.
Owner claimed the car was claybarred last month; this is why I clay every car I touch!
All taped up and ready to buff
The money shot, after 2 polishing steps, you can see an epic correction.
After hours of polishing, the cars is washed again and then waxed with Blackfire Wet Diamond
LOVE these next two shots
Thanks for looking!
Here's his OTHER show car....can you guess what it is???

Damn nice work! Do you do a standard buff and then a pass with a swirl remover on black cars?

Almost looks like he used a foam gun/cannon. I never thought about spraying down the engine with it though.

Thank you, i used a foam cannon with my pressure washer, loaded it with some Chemical Guys citrus wash and an oz of their "Bugger" wash b/c it's good for loosening grease. I worked most of the engine with a soft brush, and used Chemical Guys "Grime Reaper" @ 5:1 for tougher spots. Rinsed everything down with the pressure washer, then dried with a towel and the blower on my vacuum. Dressed it all with CD2
