Detailed this car for a friend of mine about 2 weeks ago. Car was in very good shape and only has 40k miles on it. Unfortunately, the owner before him parked under a pine tree and there were sap deposits and/or "speckling" over the ENTIRE car. Nothing in my arsenal could touch the etching brought on by the sap. The light swirling was removed very easily, making this car all the more frustrating.

Half wetsand/half not



















The owner was simply beyond ecstatic. I absolutely hooked him up with a good price as I didn't want the car to not be perfect for him. Neither of us were expecting this level of work to be necessary, unfortunately, it was. There is ZERO orange peel throughout the entire car now, and it just looks "wet" sitting there.

Time taken: 25-30 hours. Exterior only.


Peace, d00ds!!!

So you ended up wetsanding the whole freaking thing? Is this the one we talked about a few weeks ago? Looks killer dude. You should come down and wetsand my entire car.

 

Nah, it isn't. That was another one altogether.

And like your car even NEEDS wetsanding!!!!

Looks great, Matt!

 

WOW so nice. You a good friend. Because of my back I tell friends I cant do it especially for free and cant really charge them so I choose not to do it period. LMAO

 

looks sick. Wish the "Mad tyte JDM chamber BRO!" dudes from the gallery would learn how to ACTUALLY make their cars look good: a quality detailer

 

Looks great, excellent depth!
