Pat_kono M5 and CLS detail

[Pat_kono]

A few members have been asking me to post pictures of my detailing before and afters.. I usually don't take pictures will I work but here's a few I took on the fly..

Worked on a M5 a couple weekends ago... The full Detail took about 14.5 hours ( paint, engine, exhaust, interior, etc)
-Wash w/ Dish soap
-Clay bar
-Wash doors jams, wheels, exhaust tips, headlights/tail lights
-Dry
-Polish with Menzerna product
-Polish again
-Wipe down with alcohol/water base
-Wax with Dodo Juice
-Steam vacuumed Interior where needed
-Leather upholstery was treated with Lexol Products
-Vinyl/Dash was treated with Pinnacle and DP products
-Spray down with Zaino Finale

Sorry for the low res pictures used my 4mp point and shoot.

Next had a Client with a TL type-S come in for a Detail.The TL has a huge amount of rock chips and swirl marks. Upon final examination The Clear coat on the TL was measured extremely low therefore I had to use less abrasive Polishes and had to be EXTRA careful. The final result wasn't what I wanted but still came out 100% better than it has looked before. This detail took me about 8 hours. Interior and engine bay was not Included.

I really don't like taking pictures while I detail, I'm mostly focused on the work over picture taking.


Hope you guys enjoyed the results.

:loling: I was going to say the same thing. The pics were probably mixed up. Engine bay must have taken a good amount of time. Which reminds me, I have to get mine done.
