Mmmmmmmm silver cars....... I honestly didn't think a silver car could shine like this. WELL, I've surprised myself! It's about time he decided to come over! This dude quick details his car all the time, and he barely had any swirls! Silver paint must be especially hard and resistant to damage!

I chose DG 105 for this car because he wanted a longer lasting protection. CG 5050 made up for the looks anyway. DG 105 is slowly becoming my go to sealant though. My process with the wheels to spray the face and inner part down with P21S wheel gel then spray CG grime reaper on the tires. It lifts all the dirt really fast, so I sprayed P21S TAW on the tires afterwards before scrubbing. For those of you who are still using SIP nonstop, you guys should look into some POWER FINISH! This thing cuts nearly as much as SIP and finishes LSP ready. I had to throw in some PO85RD to add some extra gloss for the silver, and it was well worth it in my opinion. On with the pics! Puddle on top... LEAKAGE ON THE BOTTOM! Now let's try to get some pictures of swirls YEH! No... MACRO! YEAH! No... MACRO AGAIN! Kind of... This was literally the best I could do. No worries! Here is PROGRESS! This was just polished with PO203S and PO85RD. MOAR PRE LSP PIX! Can we say... Power Finished? And PO85RD'D! The tiny pad/plate of AWESOME! One day, polishing won't create this hassle. And the giant tape ball of DOOM! Yes, I do have black gloves. Why? I am the ninja detailer! EAT TAPE BALLS! Tape ball put to use! And here's the engine bay... Under halogens... Not that it matters since I couldn't get pictures of them to begin with! And finished! CLOSER! RE30s Enjoy!
Ah, The look of silver in the morning. Gotta love it. I must say you did a great detail. It looks beautiful and the write was just as good. Thanks for sharing...:thumb:
Different product. Good work Ben! Though I never liked the idea of Japanese wheels on a Euro.. :shead:
Great job. I agree those rims suck. I like the M3 mirrors and blacked out grill on that though. Also it is really low which is cool.
