2007 Saleen S281 Detail

Here are some pictures of a recent full exterior detail I did. Hopefully this will prove that you don't need to go to a professional shop - if you have the right materials, experience and some time. Just doing the exterior of this car took me 6 hours. Read more ยป

After. This is the poster shot. As I said, the car looked pretty good pulling in, but look how good it appeared as it left. This shot is on the home page of The Detailer's Cafe by the way.

Front Wheel After. Remember that ugly wheel and rotor? I don't generally do this, but with the customer's permission, all 4 wheels were removed, polished front and back, and the rotor hats painted with high heat/ high gloss black paint. Nice huh?

C Pillar After. Here's another stunner. Just look at the depth of the reflections here. The car actually looked about one full shade darker when it was finished.

Hood & Fender After. See what 6 hours of special attention will get you? Even in dorect sunlight, the car was virtually flawless. I used Poor Boy's SSR 2.5, then SSR 1 to correct and polish, follwed by Collonite 845 for an LSP.

Rear Deck Before. Again, a good looking car that needed some attention to make it great looking.

Front Wheel Before. Nice wheels, but they call it "detailing" for a reason. Note the black brake dust on the insdie of the wheel and the rusty / unpainted brake rotor hat. This kind of stuff drives me wild.

Hood Swirls. Looking a bit closer, one can see that the paint really needed some correction. Every body panel had marring like this from a winter on a dealer lot.

Before. Here's the car as it arrived first thing in the morning. Not bad, right? Other than the tires and wheel wells, it turned a lot of heads on the way in.
