So you think you're good at detailing? Check this guy out! WOW Dunno if anyone's seen this before, but this is incredible. I know its not an LS1, but the extremes he goes through to get this car looking in top shape... wow. Wonder how long this took him?

Just before I got my black 97' TA, I wanted to play with some detail combinations. While I didn't get any interior picts or as many as that guy did,
it was pretty insane to do this:
I'd just started to see what would happen after one coat on the far left side after stripping to bare paint. That rest was residue before clay bar
after 3 washings.
notice the left over goo from plastic being held down with duct tape on the passenger side
where the window was broken out, under mirror to back window and on front windshield sitting in the summer sun.
The rims were pretty easy to pop off and let soak in degreaser with dish
soap then scrub and pop back on.
To this about a week later:
My son thought I was nuts for doing his car but I needed to work with some really crappy black paint!

Pretty standard full detail. Where he went above and beyond was filling in rock chips, repainting the bumper, and removing pieces (I just tape em off before polishing/paint correction). Nice work on his part. THAT detail not including what it would cost for the chip filling/replainting would probably run u around $700 to $800

And I don't care what kinda car it is, just posting up a damn good example of an elaborate detail. One that I would never have the patience for lol.
