- Tires were spritzed down with Adam's All Purpose Cleaner and washed down
- Wheel wells were cleaned up

- Clayed
- Dried
- Tires dressed
- Masking
- 3 Step Paint correction (Meg's M105, Something being tested ; ) )
- Inspection with Fenix, 3m Sun Gun, Infratech, and natural sunlight
- Last Step - Swissvax Shield
- Rubber and Plastics Treated

Shot of the paint after everything was stripped
Sorry missing clay shots (windows and paint were clayed)
Measuring paint
Masking
Derek masking up the sills
We used some paper to block dust coming into the grill.
Polishing shots (50/50) - holograms, swirls, scratches, bird etching you name it all in the book......I will let the pics do the talking

Awesome job Phil! Amazing how messed up the paint was with swirl marks and water stains, etc! Love the shots you took under the indoor lights - really shows the flawless shine.
Always kills me how someone would bring their car or truck to a master detailer with garbage and water bottles in it!?

Not to take away from your guys amazing work because it's always stellar stuff but why do the owners get the paint corrected when in the end they still aren't going to put in the proper time and technique to ensure the paint doesn't get jacked up again?!@ Oh well it's good business for services like you!
Great transformation.
Great transformation.

Anyone in Atlanta that can do what you did? My car had swirlies. I hand clayed and polished and it helped ...but that car is amazing....there is no way I have the experience to transform my car that way. If anyone can recommend someone in Atlanta...I'm all over it.

Try contacting some of your local high-end autobody repair shops. They should be able to give you a few recommendations for good detailers. That's what I did, and it worked out very well.
