Well I received a phone call to prep some vehicles for a car show, these vehicles are heading out of town for a car show and I was instructed to do a simple wash and wax. Most of the vehicles are brand new with barely 500km to them but one or two of them had been driven and would actually benefit from a full paint correction, but that will come later when the vehicles are entered in another car show to compete for best of show. I wasn’t going to do a write up for these vehicles but every time I go to this shop I always come out with a little bit of drool…well the vehicles: First up: As you can tell this vehicle has been driven, bugs speak for them selves. Lovely rims…but a pain to clean :nod: Next a brand new: Lovely pair of shoes :druling: Next, Best part I was able to use the lift in the shop, incredible the difference a lift makes to a detailer, having used this lift makes me want one even more now :woo: Next up another brand new: By the way all of these vehicles have been modified, that’s what this shop does, lots of power behind these wheels :nod: Well those are the four vehicles, like I said this is a simple wash and wax, so nothing fancy. I used lots and I mean lots of ONR, so got my self set up with the appropriate tools: Once all the vehicles had been washed and most of the rims were brand new but not all of them were new so taking care of all the rims took a reasonable amount of time, once I had finished all the rims I proceeded on claying the vehicles: The clay of choice this time around was Riccardo Blue, since I wasn’t going to polish I used lots and lots of lubrication, once again ONR to the rescue. Well after a few hours of claying it was time to apply the wax, I decided to go with Vintage and the paint prepped with HD Cleanse Professional: Well after several hours of applying and removing HD Cleanse and Vintage here is how the vehicles finished off: Tires hadn’t been dressed just yet. I have to admit, this is a nice looking vehicle and by no means am I a big fan of such vehicles but seeing it in person and man handling it for the past few days I really appreciated it’s curves/body lines. One thing I really like are the head lights :thumb: It just has a nice aggressive look to it, and under the hood there’s plenty of power :thumb: You know, I normally prefer a black color vehicle but in this case the orange Camaro looked better then the black one, but that’s just my personal choice. Any who, that’s the end of this simple write up. Not so many pictures as I honestly wasent going to do a write up on them as it a simple wash and wax but I managed to take a few pictures anyways. Hope you enjoy it, I sure enjoyed all of these vehicles and spending time in the shop and using their lifts :nod: :nod: Like a kid at the candy store I tell you :woo: :woo:
looks like a fun place to work Looking good Nica... it has been way too long since you did a writeup... and I mean WAY too long...
Great job Carlos, really liking that vett and the Camaros are not that bad as well, really like the new body style. Yes, those wheels are drool worthy.
I agree, it's been a wile but winter here puts a damper on detailing but I always enjoy visiting this shop always great looking vehicles to drool on :thumb: Not to mention their equipment. I agree, good looking vehicles and I was quite surprised by the new Camaro, glad you enjoyed it :chest:
:nod: the owners of these vehicles have great taste when it comes to rims, they took me a wile to get them all cleaned up but the end result was well worth it. I hurt my knuckles on a few of them but it's just skin right :shrug:
Beautiful cars. Some serious horsepower under those hoods!!! Love that grabber orange. Looks great Carlos!!!!!!
its stunning Carlos ... Yes, the orange Camaro look far better than black one on those pictures lol ... all very nice cars and really enjoy it ...
great adventure, thanks for sharing the gig. Seeing the lift makes me jealous... no doubt such a thing would make it A LOT easier on one's body
Great work Nica, good to see another detail by the man himself! By the way, what are these applicators?
lloking good man, wait till you see the convertible camaro, not much headroom with the top up but looks good with it down
P1et, those are actually the Ultimate foam pads. I use them to apply wax they work quite well :thumb: I didn't know they were coming out with a convertible for the Camaro, but should have known, look forward on seeing it :thumb:
Carlos..nice to see you back in the saddle, man!! What great eye candy you had to work on....kinda like being the masseuse for the Victoria Secret models, LOL. That Camaro looks amazing in orange. I love it in yellow too, especially with the black stripes. Winter's about 1/2 way done bud, keep up the faith!
Thank you richy, I can't wait to spring/summer. Winters get longer and harder I tell ya :shakehead: I agree, going to this shop is just something else always look forward to their phone call :nod: :nod:
