I've been researching 240 LsX swaps :drive: Anyways, over the weekend detailed 2 beautiful cars.

The first was a 2007 Porsche Boxster. I picked the vehicle up, and dropped it off for the owner. The car had horrible holograms and swirls

That is the only picture I got of the holograms. However, the car was covered in them. Anyways, I asked who had detailed the vehicle before. He said a local Ford dealership had been taking care of the detail work. Clearly the operator of the rotary buffer was not experienced using one.

Products used:

Porter Cable 7424xp
Flash Wax Brown Royal (wheels)
Flash Wax Tire Shine
Dawn Soap
Clay Bar
LC Orange pad
LC Green pad
LC black pad
Chemical Guys v36
Chemical Guys c38
PoorBoys World Black Hole
Blackfire Midnight Sun

Here is the finished product:

Next we had a friends Mitsubishi Evo10. This car was really beautiful. The flake in the paint was gorgeous.

All in all the both cars came out amazing. The level of correction needed on the Porsche was much higher than the Evo, but also the Porsche was black.

Let me know what you guys think :)

Nice work! Doesn't it feel good to take a car from yuck to show quality?

Love the Evo. I actually was going to get one when I got my G. They have such an aggresive look!!!

I loved it too! And it really does give you some pride after you correct a car and bring it to that quality

I critique all the vehicles while I'm stopped at a traffic light. I just think...that would look better debadged, that car needs a license plate frame, that car needs a Dent Dr...etc etc. I could fix them all up. ;)
