Latest ES addition to the stable. Matador Red, my favorite color. Looks good enough to lick, LOL.

Gyeon Durabead after a rain shower not bad considering I haven’t wash it in 2 week since it been coated. It also glossy and pop with the silver. Liking the coating so far.

Decided to try out my new rupes 15 mark II on the LS460L I posted a few pages back.

50/50 shot


*Edit* The sun came out today




The car still has a bunch of RIDS, but it looks worlds better than when I started. The passenger side was repainted and way too thin for me to play with, so I had to leave it alone. I did a quick pass with carpro essence and topped the entire car with carpro reload. Not my best work, but I'm happy with how it came out.

Here is one we just did, almost 8 year old car with lots of water spots, swirls scratches, oxidation, car deserved a full paint correction + long term coating we opted for uk 3.0, and reload. Seems like carpro numbed down the product of reload and uk, but something only noticeable to consistent users of the product or maybe just the placebo affect still works great and they definitely made uk 3.0 a lot more user friendlier.

so, I run a small side-business...mostly for friends and family, called Explicit Detail. Here's a video of project:golf, a car I rehabilitated for one of my best friends. This VW had sat under several trees in Colorado, unmoved, neglected, covered in sap, exposed to the elements for over a year. Roof was peeling, so I did some light sanding and plastidipped it at the owner's request (his budget was essentially enough to cover the chemicals and products I used/microfibers I destroyed, haha). The rest of the paint, however, got a thorough (and much needed) 2-3 stage correction because I wanted like a 3 day undertaking and an opportunity to test out my new GG Boss15.

Watch fullscreen in HD for best quality...and maybe turn the speakers up, a buddy of mine produced the track I used.

As soon as I get some paint work done, my RCF is going to get treated to a full decon, rehab, and coating/PPF combo...can't wait to share with the forum-

but in the meantime, my previous car (2017 STI) and an RS7 I detailed out at Chemical Guys - Detail Garage LA.

Very nice its good to see a nice paint job with it's pearl or metallic flakes just pop. Makes it look so amazing.

I loved the pearl white paint on my Subie (the look, not so much the quality of the paint job lol), but it was so hard to capture it in a photo...thanks for noticing!
