Mini Cooper Detailed.

[leamangriffin04]

Hi, been a while since I posted on here but I thought I would share some of my work. I own a detailing business and I am trying to get a shope forum but nobody will shared_pm me back. Until then I will not share my business name so my post doesnt get deleted, but hopefully you will be seeing more of me soon.

Anyway, on to the car.

Black on black mini cooper. some of you might know this guy.

Came to me not having a big budget so I recommended a single stage polish.

Here are some before shots.

I got it washed and clayed and shot some outside sun shots to really show the defects.

This is how much crap came off in the clay.

Pulled it back indoors, taped it off and begun.


50/50 shot. Remember this is a single stage polish. probably about 85% correction.

Very nice work, there are alot of detailers coming out of the woods.

[pure_kustoms]

nice work, it is good when someone can take a bad after paint buffing, and polish it and make it look really good.

[leamangriffin04]

thanks guys. I started out as a wash and wax gig too though. I was doing more damage than good. Haha needless to say I have learned alot.

[Mafiakiller]

it looks like you used a foam pad to do this...correct?
