Spyker c8 Laviolette detail

So, I got a call from a local dealership asking if I had interest in detailing a car. Sorry, I don't do dealer work. Although they had been referred by an existing client, I just don't do dealer work. But, the lady explained that this is the owner of the dealership's personal car. So, if I can charge my normal rate, sure, I'll do it.

So, I head over for a quick detail. The paint on this car is fine. So, this car received a standard 16 hour clean up.

Things kinda shaped up like this...

Wheels-

Tarminator to loosen up the serious schmeg
P21S and some agitation with Ex Detail and SW wheel brush
Sealed up with JS 109

Tires-
Apc and scrub with DIY Cleaning scrub brush
SW Pneu

Wheel wells,arches-
APC/TAW and agiatation w/Fender well brush
Adams undercarriage Spray

Paint-

Presoak w/ P21S Total Auto Wash
Foam w/ TAW and Bodywork Cond Shampoo
Two Bucket Wash w/ P21S Bodywork Cond Shampoo via sea sponge
Dry w/ Uber WW MF Blanket
Spin 600 rpm with 100 ppi Sm Arnold par on Festool (I "Burnish" the paint. Sorry, don't subscribe to the Pepsi Gen "Jewelling" term"
Two layers SW Crystal Rock

So, here we go...

Great job! Love the c8, just is a beast of a car, pure power!

 

Looks so nice!

 

Thats awesome, the Spyker Race team was going to come out to a track down the road from my house this last summer I was linned up to do some of the cars and was all excited to get my hands on one. Ended up falling through but now I have a guide for doing one if they come in the future.

 

Awesome job Andy. Paint looks soooo wet.

 

WOW... that is an amazing car and you did an amazing job on it!

 

Great, great work!! I wonder how many of those exist in North America?

Great work, Andy! What a car.

 

Looks great Andy.

 

Amazing work, that car looks like a real pain to detail!

 

Neat looking vehicle :thumb:

I've seen these vehicles in person and actually got a chance to sit in one of them and although they may look neat, it's a pain to get in and out of them..their interior is really cool though, leather everywhere and the gear shifter is something elese :thumb:

Vehicle looks great, keep the details coming opcorn:

 

Nice work on the Spyker Andy, came out really nice!

 

There are six

 

Looking good there Andy!

 

Thanks to all for the praise and comments! This was a fun car to be around. As Carlos mentioned, it is indeed tough to get in and out of but, a pleasure to be have been given opportunity to work on!!
