    Full details and paint correction on a Lotus 2 Eleven and Porsche Cayman R

    First the Lotus, due to the car having no roof of any kind a gentle ONR wash was done opposed to a full 2 bucket suds fest.

    Paint condition was okay, just some wash marring and a select few areas with RIDs and fine scratches. D300, M105, Powerfinish and PO85rd were all used during the correction stage.

    If you were curious the Lotus is a track only car, they are not street legal.
    All decals and graphics taped off before polishing

    Rear bumper took a little more abuse than the rest of the car, few extra passes required to yield full correction

    Smaller griots machine was used to polish beneath the wing

    Sick cars. Epic detailing Dave.

    I once saw a 2-Eleven hop on the PCH near Huntington Beach, CA. Driver was wearing a full-face helmet of course. It was one of the coolest cars I've ever had the chance to see on the road.

    Sweet cars. Great job on the paintwork!
    I also agree you have a very nice shop to work out of. I guess it will come in time for me (hopefully).

    At SEMA Kevin Brown took me over to the Mirka booth and they are coming out with a ELECTRIC DA machine which is smooth as butta.................... it is small and light so getting under wings etc will be easier as I CAN take the stuff off but would rather not if possible as it can be a PITA. will be looking for this soon on buffdaddy.com when kevin gets them in fyi.

    I have seen the air version of the one that will look identical to the electric (same set up) The electric are going to be pricey from what my supplier said
