After owning my car since Oct 2007, I have been wanting to do a full detail my car. Not having the skills or knowledge I had a fellow member GoFast908Z take a crack at it.

All I can say is that I'm more than happy with the results and he did an excellent job. I was expecting a 70-80% removal of swirls. I'm happy to say that number is closer to 90-95%.

He even did a couple more passes than I paid for on my roof.

If you are reluctant about the price he may give you don't be. You will fall in love with your car all over again once he is done with it.

Seeing it now I have realized how dull and swirled my cars paint was.

Jeff did this write up on another site...

"Here is Ryan's Z28 I detailed. It had very heavy swirls and a lot of random isolated deep scratches (RIDS), especially on the hood, roof, and spoiler which really needed wetsanding and heavy compounding. However, with just 2 stages of buffing, was able to get about 90% overall swirl removal. Could have gotten more out but Ryan just had me do 2 stages. I spend most of my time on black, red, and blue cars; so it was nice to give a white car a nice shine. Most of the white cars brought to me are just in for a basic detail (no paint correction). I was really happy with the amount of gloss I got out of white Pics don't do it justice really.

*note: some pics you can see 4-5 gray dots against the white paint...they are specs of dirt on the sensor in my camera. i'm getting it fixed this week though*

Final Pics

 

I couldn't be more happy with Jeff's work. If you guys live in the Bay Area hit him up. You will be extremely pleased with your car after he is done detailing it

 

Looks great dude!

 

Looks great. I vote to paint the brake calipers!

 

Thanks. I'm saving for the Powder Pro on here to do them white and black

 

looks good, and im sure those calipers will come out looking sweet once done.

 

Future plans include: Sunoco hood [ even though everyone has one now ], SS Spoiler, Painted Calipers, and some black wheels [ I haven't decided which ones ].

I also want a better rear end and a built trans...

Baby steps lol

 

Looks great.

 

Looks great now man.

 

Thanks guys

 

That came out really good. I swear their is something on the camera lense though! Their dots on every picture!

 

Yea he had an issue with the lense

 

God, I love a hardtop. Awesome car man. White and having hardtop, you lucky ****! Looks great.

 

Yea, the A4 wasn't my first choice but this was the only clean hardtop I could find that was at a fair price.

I bought this car with 51k for $9500 before the car market fell off....at the time I felt i go a good deal

 

looks amazing! what did u use to get ur tips so clean?

 

He just polished them.....you can even use shitty turtle wax polish and they will look good

 

rofl thats what i use but they never come out looking that good!!

 

good job looks 10x better

 

Looks awesome.
