Cool Detailing: Chef's Summer Toy

Chef got a new car for the summer and it was really fun to work on. Overall the car was good, and had the color I loved! It took some time and a little elbow grease but I think I brought the best out of it and Cheffer seemed really pleased with the results.

This was done 100% by hand, no machine.

Process:

Wash- Meguiar's Gold Class Wash
Clay- Mother's clay and their detailer
Wash- It needed it, and dried.
Correction- Meg's Ultimate Compound on Wing and side mirrors
Glaze- Meg's #7 Show Car
Wax- Meg's NXT 2.0 (4 hr. cure)
Wax- Topped with #26 Hi-tech Yellow Carnuba (2 hr. cure)
Booster- Meg's Ultimate Quick Wax

Interior- Vaccume, wipe down with Quick Int. Detailer Mist, Jambs done with Ult. Quick Detailer, Leather with Armor All Leather Treatment

Wheels- Mother's Billet Polish, By hand, and Also worked with a Power Cone.
Tire- Stoners More or Less Tire Shine.

Like said I am very pleased with the results and quite a few have already given compliments.

Enjoy the Pics!

Probably longer than that LOL.
Car came out real nice though, good job.
I first saw/rode in that car back in late 2000/early 2001 and (in photos at least) it looks almost as good now as it did back then.

Thanks a lot as well, its good to know someone who knew the car and at least I feel that I brought the best out of it.

Had I a Rotary, It would have been done, that was the only thing I really could not do.

I already got 2 interested parties.

Can't wait to finalize a deal and post up some new cars. I think one is black and another is Navy Blue Met. The good part is I can then pay for a buffer and practice and really get into paint correction.

I must be out of the loop, did something happen to Chef's red car? Or is he now just fortunate enough to own two T/A's?

Nice, and by hand.... thats a lot of work. Car looks great! Also one of my favorite colors, great match w/ those wheels btw Chef.

NXT gives it a bit of a darker tone as well, looks good.
