My friends car just got detailed from http://www.ocautodetail.net. Just wanted to post some pics of it because it looks awesome, here are some other cars they detailed as well.

There are more pics at their website if you're interested.

isnt that vinces M3, black cars always look good when their waxed right.

nice job.

yes its vinces M3. His car wouldn't have looked to good with merely a wax. It had some mild swirl marks that were eliminated and the wax combination used provided a ridiculous shine.

Which porsche is that? Boxster? 911? I don't think you can tell from that shot.

As did I. I never thought that an obital buffer could do such a thing. All it takes is a little bit of Time, hard word and love of your vehicle, and it is worth it in the end.

I have to say that I'm a huge fan of the buffwer now, and now that I know what it can do, I will use it atleast right before and after winter...

Great stuff, guys - what product did you use on the paint? I am right now a huge advocate of Meguiar's Swirl Remover 2.0 as it does a great job of clearing the paint of swirls and scuffs, but it also leaves a high-gloss shine that heavier cleaners do not! Ask A4driver.

I am glad that the orbital buffer worked out for both of you!

Chris, do you have any experience with 3M Swirl Mark Remover, Imperial Hand Glaze, or Perfect-it II? I have all three and plan on procuring a buffer for my own use so I was wondering which to attack the paint with first.

CMT · #13 (**permalink**) 09-11-2003, 07:02 PM

Okay guys, I merged another detailing thread with this one so we could have a non-supporting-members-only discussion about detailing, etc.

I figure I will leave it in members rides so anyone interested in talking about paint care has the chance to do so here.

I don't have any personal experience with these products, but I have never heard anything less than awesome reviews about them.
