4) Have a look at this 50/ 50 It’s insane!!!

Regardez la difference après seulement le compound, c’est fou!!!







5) Interior.

I’m not going to name every single product I used but there’s a lot.I will let the pictures speak for themselves!

L’intérieur était vraiment sale!! Je vais laisser les photos parler d’eux-même.

Before :















Cleaning leather with a natural horse hair brush.


Voici comment la solution est sortie à la fin :



As usual, all interior is done using my own extractor.




Voyez comment c’est sale ? J’en ai vidé 2 comme ça!



Polishing the cluster for a nicier transparant look.





J’applique le conditionneur à cuir. Donne un look beaucoup plus riche au cuir et le protège aussi.

[cobrAA]

We scheduled a complete for this car, I kept this cadillac for 2 days but at the end, I can tell you it was well worth it!

Anyways, enjoy the hard work!



1) ENGINE Shampoo

This is Before.








This is After the engine is cleaned and protected with an anti-static and UV protector.

Voici après avoir été dégraissé et protégé avec un protecteur anti-static et UV. Question de garder les hose plus souples :








2) Nettoyage + Clay bar :

Using my wash technique : Foam gun + 2 bucket wash + 4 grit guard.
Car soap
Clay bar with Quick detailer
Drying using microfiber
Daytona non-scratch wheel-brush.
Sonax Wheel cleaner


Foaming the car..


Voyez comment le Sonax fait effet ici:




Un exemple de ce que ma clay bar a pu corriger :



The car is now clean and clayed. Ready for the correction.




3) Correction.

GOD!! That car doesn’t have RDS but it have EWDS ( Every-Where Deep Scratches). I’ve never seen a car with that much deep scratches. Poor car . On top, the car has 3 differents paint job which make my job harder because each panel doesn’t polish the same way and doesn’t shine the same way!

**By the way, paint transfer, and such damage have bene fixed, I just forgot to take pictures of it after**

Vous savez l’acronyme RDS ( pour random deep scratches) ? Cette n’a pas juste des randoms mais c’est omni-présent sur toute la voiture. J’en croyait pas mes yeux de detailer LOL. En plus, l’auto a 3 différentes peintures sur la peinture, c’était un défi car chaque panneau se polissait différement.

See the difference in paint.


See all these orange peel, weak bodyshop..


Paint transfer on the taillight:


Another paint transfer I guess.






Swirled and faded:

[cobrAA]

After-shot:

See by yourself the nice reflection of the paint enhanced by this quality wax.







Avec le peu de soleil qui avait, on a sorti l’auto pour mieux l’admirer. Je suis très content du résultat. Look hot! On sait que le noir est la pire couleur à travailler.

Lucky for us and you, guys who's reading this thread, the sun game out at the moment we was done. Under the sun, you can see the true result of the polish, no have, no hologram, just a clear and nice result with very good reflection and under some angle like curved body panel, the paint can seems very wet-looking. thanks to my polish and DP's wax.






Love the luxurious shine Wolfgang gel gives

The owner if this Talon told me he's been looking for a detailer for the past 2 years, none of them were up to his standard. However, one of his good friend refered me to him and we quickly agreed to make it happen. I think the result is really sick and I hope you will enjoy the sun shot like I did!

Traitement :
Nettoyage sans-rinsage ONR
Clay bar
Polissage 2-step
Cire DP Max Wax
Polissage des phares.

Condition initiale :

Beaucoup beaucoup de toiles d’araignés, la peinture est très fade, voyez par vous-même!

Lots of swirls and faded paint that result in little shine from the paint. Even wet, the paint show no reflection what soever.















Sous la lumière..











- Moitié /moitié

Voyez la différence entre la panneau poli et non, ce n’était que mon 1er step. Le but était de montré l’effet néfaste d’un clear coat oxydé.

Here's an half and half to show you what a paint without faded clear coat should look like!! The difference is big







Poli à la main en-dessous de l’aileron.. pas le choix! I had no choice to polish by hand under the wing, no machine can fit under this.



New Detailer Pro’s wax! Give a nice wet-look with good reflection.

[cobrAA]

Stupid paint transfer :





At a certain moment, I felt the paint acting different. I knew it was time to stop and let what is left there because I might damage the paint more than anything. Sorry Steve!


Correction :

Before :





After :









After-shot :















Headlight polished but the rest of the haze is form the inside of the lens, nothing I can do.






Comme toujours, les roués sont details parfaitement.


Um.. un mirroire? On pourrais se passer la soie dentaire haha.










Certains remarqueront que j’utilise beaucoup de cire différentes. C’est que j’appele mon RetD, je tente constamment d’aller chercher le maximum de shine pour chaque voiture. E crois que la Sig. II s’applique bien à une voiture metallic foncé.

Before:

















Let see what the clay bar can collect..



One door only!!!!! WOW, cette auto était plus que dû pour une bonne clay bar.

Can I make Steve’s car wetter than the water !!?

Voici un défi que je m’impose : Rendre la peinture plus mouillé que l’eau, Suis-je à la hauteur?

With water..




No water..





I think we have a big winner here!!!

[trickey1991]

[cobrAA]

Voici un set de Strut bar en mauvaise condition ( selon mes standards). Voyons voir ce que je pourrais faire comme magie….


Condition initiale :













J’ai commencé un petit bout à gauche pour voir si mon travail avait de l’allure.. *test spot*



Ça de l’allure!!




Résultat final :







Une autre petite job différente réussie!

[cobrAA]

Here’s the only pictures I have before.. there’s a good chunk of salt. And see how the water turned. I have 2 bucket full of it althought the seat ‘’looked’’ clean hahaha!



Dirty water taken with my extractor.
