Thumbs up SHOW ROOM -- SHINE -- WOW

Okay, I would love to say that I did the wash and wax on my 928s4... but the credit goes to my neighbor Jimmie.... he loves to clean cars and is obcessed about it. He was a professional detailer in another time.

His passion is my benefit.

My 928 shines like a black diamond in the east Texas piney woods. I don't think it has ever been this clean since it left Germany on it's adventure to my driveway.

The interior is a wonder to behold. Every crack and cranny is shinning. I need my raybans just to sit in it.

This all has a point. There is nothing to match a professional detailing from a man that truly is passionate about cars and how they look.

Do yourself a favor and find a detailer that is OCD about cars and perfection.

Default just a short distance

I got my motor running and I'm just a short distance away. What's his favorite beer and what is the best time to catch him at home.

How lucky can one get!!

Yes some before & after pictures would great?

I tried to clean up my finders & doors this weekend too. Looks better but I think I’ll try again this weekend. If that doesn’t work – I may need a professional wet-sand them because of all the swirl marks & scratches.

A good reflection shot off the paint in the sun (showing the sun) will usually reveal any microscratches that are covered up but still there. It's hard to get those buggers out.
