Metros's Epic Detail Thread
Instead of making new threads every other week when I detail another Mid-A vehicle I decided to create one thread and just bump it when necessary. This will be that thread. Welcome. Enjoy your stay.

Method:
-ONR Wash exterior and all jams
-Griot's Clay the entire car
-1z intensive polish with Uber Orange Pad
-Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover with Uber Green Pad
-ONR Wash to remove all dust
-Menzerna Power Lock Sealant
-Trim dressed
-Stoner's Invisible Glass Used
Initially the customer and I agreed to one step of polish and the sealant. However, after starting on the car I decided that the car needed some more intense correction.
Before:
Dull faded paint and headlights
Swirls:
Paint Damage:
It looks like someone attempted some wet sanding and then realized they were in over their head.
Scuff on passenger rear quarter:
Car Cleaned and clayed. Now we can see what condition the paint really is in.
This picture summarizes the entire car. Every panel looked like this.

Front Fender Corrected:
All jams (doors, hood, trunk) cleaned
Reflections:
This detail took me ~15 hours in total. I think the paint came out great and really brought the car back to life. The owner seemed happy with the job.
FYI, NoVA members shoot me a pm if you're interested. I'm always looking for some side work.

You do some awesome work. How much does this cost? Not that my car is worth much to clean, or that I would have the extra $$$ for it, but I am just curious. If you don't want to post it it's no biggie. Car looks great though.
