This particular detail was last year. I was lucky enough to get a client that wanted his newly acquired but used Volvo 850GLE. The owner thought Turtle wax would suffice in terms of maintaining the car and used sponges to clean the car. You will be able to tell by the pictures his approach was a little short of successful but never the less he did try. He decided to bring it to me for a full detail. The paint is beautiful we just needed to get rid of the blemishes :doh: I apologize for the dirty hub caps. I had not tackled them yet. YAY first detailing post :headbang: Enjoy !

Nice Detail. From what I can see It came out great. Way to go. Keep them comming...:thumb: I can see good now the pictures are bigger...Very good job
OH MATE I wish the pics were bigger! Awesome work on this Volvo, when will someone let me detail their Volvo??? How did you like working with that single stage paint?
Hey Piet, I loved working with the Volvo. The paint just popped up after polishing. If you want to work on a volvo I can trash one for ya and send one over The week before I worked on a VW and wow was the paint uber hard and annoying. lol. Cheers, Nick
Piet ask and you shall receive. lol hopefully the larger pictures help. let me know what you think Btw I'm changing my user name to Nikku , Nick is just sooo general so I'll see you guys around! :mounty:
AWESOME! Pics are showing up in their FULL glory now, nevermind my PM that I just sent to you! Really, fantastic work on that mate!
Good old oxidized red, never gets old. Do you have any pics of the entire car after you did it? Looks real good.
Well done vehicle looks great, I have a thing for Volvo's as I own a volvo too :thumb: Hope you enjoy the forum eace:
Thanks Carlos. Volvo's are just tanks, Thanks supercharged and thank you Bentley. Bentley although my detailing skills are there, my photography is somewhat lacking lol. You don't even want to know how long it took me to realize that in photoshop I could pixelate the license plate in that perrrrty way lol. I am glad that everyone has enjoyed the pictures. Cheers, Nick
Nice job as I always love seeing good ol' single stage paint brought back to life. That red looks alive and dripping wet when you got through with it.
