Gents the client called me up and asked for a full Detail and Engine Detail, He just recently bought this extremely lovely vehicle and the dealership had there own Polisher guy who cleaned the car but left rotary buffing marks all over the bonnet and when exposed to the sun it shows itself and some scratches on the tail lights and swirls on the side panels but overhaul the car was in good nic :winkithumbs: .

As Usual 1st thing I did was High foamed the car to get the most of the dirt off and then 2BS wash and apc all the mags and cleaned them with wheel brushes luckily the holes on the wheels are huge so no need of removing the entire rim.

Next up was drying car then decided to clay car as it felt rough after doing the plastic test could feel it clearly as you can see the evidence on the clay bar itself when I was done .

Then washed her again and pulled her out in the hot sun to view all the defects as you guys can clearly see in the below pics .

Thanks Gents for all the comments .

@lupi the v8 Im doing slowy as Im so busy its crazy Im busy with 1000Cbr RR 2013 Fireblade Tmrw at the dealership for collection of new owner on Saturday .

But Bm should be done before Christmas still .

Lol I know why your asked of black cars its toughest colour to spray and the toughest colour to keep in top notch but dont worry I have worked on A6 and A6 black cars in the pass , its really tough as GM and Vag cars have extremely hard paint so cutting does take long .
