Beautiful car and superb results

Thanks for sharing the details of your system for cleaning, polishing and sealing the paint. You picked a difficult color for the demonstration.

Interesting the last few shots with the rain sprinkle. Classic Murphy's Law. Otherwise superb results on a black car.

Nice work!

By the way, that "Black Wow" I bought from you is pretty incredible stuff.

Philip, that is truly spectacular work. Is all work by hand or do you in fact use machines? Thanks!

Hi Mark -- what is the "black wow"? I may need some WOW for my black car. Tell me more

detailersdomain

thanks all.

Mark glad its working for you.

Chris, you can click on the link above its a dressing for plastic trim like the bumperettes above.

1985ruf the only way you can really achieve these results will be with a hi speed rotary, I spend about 30-60 minutes per panel. These were the steps taking Wash, Clay, Step 1 Polish, Step 2 Polish, Pre Cleaner, then finally Wax.

This is a boardmember's car - I'll let him identify it if he wishes. But it looks great and I can't wait to see it at the next meet.

That's my ride! Phil did an incredible job and the picutures speak for themselves. He even dropped me off in the city and picked me up when he finshed. Phil is very passionate about producing exceptional results and it shows. I'll be calling on him when I need the car detailed again.

Chris, the Black Wow is pretty cool stuff. It isn't your normal black dye treatment. It is actually a sort of pinkish orange. Not sure what is in it, maybe some silicone plus other stuff?
Anyhow, it works great on plastic parts that have "greyed out" or faded. Key surround, front grill parts, bumperettes, etc.

Nice car lumpy!
