This car belongs to the owner of 360FORGED wheels. it has around 20K miles on the Odometer, and has never seen even a wax job in it's life. however it is washed 2 times per week by a mobile wash guy. my job here was to bring it to better than new status. i was not looking forward to the ceramic clear coat...

The exhaust pipes were going to need some attention. The brake calipers were covered in grime. it had the consistency of grease the engine wasn't too dirty... I washed the car with P21s TAW and Chemical Guy's Citrus Wash n Gloss. then clayed the car with the "special Yellow Clay" using Optimum No Rinse for lube. after i did that i pulled the car into the sun to check out how bad the swirls and scratches were. There were a few pretty deep scratches which needed sanding in order to remove them. this is an example. The result from M105 left the paint pretty glossy! After Polishing with PO106FF one side of the exhaust pipe polished with 1z chrome polish and #0000 steel wool with the exterior finished it was time to move onto the interior. the leather was full of body oil, and the steering wheel was full of grime from mechanics who had worked on the car. here's the before shots. now im finally finished for the day at almost exactly 2AM the next day i went to the 360FORGED shop to take final pictures of the car. i also cleaned up the mufflers and exhaust pipes And the Finished Interior and the finished engine Thats all for this one! i hope you enjoyed looking at the pics! if you are interested in having any work done to your car, feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. thanks for looking! Scheerspeed and coming soon.... (mid-late october) be on the lookout for that detail!
OMG that is an awesome detail. i find it very hard for to have white POP! like you have done. And an especially sick setup! Cliff notes? Whats the delivery of the spray?
mmm...mmm..mmm...those are gorgeous vehicles :druling: :druling: but what's with the NOS...it's a Merc AMG it's already a rocket :shrug: well to each there own I suppose. I really like the wood trim in these vehicles, no gloss no shine just a matt look, love that. Vehicle looks great :applause: gorgeous vehicle :druling:
Really nice job :applause: Great camera work too... I've never been able to capture swirls in white paint icture:
thanks guys! it was impossible to capture the pictures with the halogens, only in the sunlight was i able to focus it correctly on manual focus.
