Nice job!

 

Looks like you spent as much time taking pictures as you did detailing

Very nice job!

A question: I noticed in the picture showing the wax after it was applied, there is no masking tape on the rubber window surround. There just had to be wax on the rubber, nobody is that good! How do you eliminate the white when done?

 

I want to believe we are that good ; )

Honestly we do about 40 cars a month with that much practice we really do take care in not hitting the trim.

However if we do we wipe it before it dries.

 

Oh man, I don't want to say I'd have to see it, but!

I have to put a double wide strip of tape to keep it off the rubber! Even then.....

I guess I need a LOT more practice! <sigh>

 

we are putting some thought process to the job on this job we used the orbital polisher right up to a certain point where we get coverage but we are not going into the trim. its like back in the day when you were a kid and your coloring book ....color in between the lines.

 

It looks nice! My wife's best friend has a white S4 with the black and red seats. Every time she brings it to our house I drive it. Your friend should buy the stage 2 kit if it's not on the car already. It's a nice improvement over stock.

 

this car is already stg 2 plus, he's got every mod on it that is available

 

Wow! Great looking car
