Default Detailed my friends car!

Well.. it was black and swirled up. MUCH hard then my white Z to detail and to make it look perfect. I tried my best

I think i might upgrade my buffer and pads later on!

well here are some before after shots. All the before shots is after the car has been washed and clayed!



Here is the Trunk. I did a half and half






Hood: Before



after



exhaust tips




rims

is your friend a chic? That would explain 2 things, why the car is in such a horrible shape, and why you aren't getting paid in cash

I am his friend... It looks pretty HOT NOW!!! I worked on his car in exchange for the detail incase you are wondering, no sexual favors for him.

Indeed I am pretty bad at taking care of the paint, its mainly because I used to wash it at the self wash car washes.

Thanks again detail master Lee
