Looks great.

How do you keep a car looking like that? Besides never driving it.

Amazing job of restoring that paint Steve. Curious, but what would a full detail like that cost by you?

Park the car and put it in a bubble. Thats the only way to keep it like that. If you keep it dusted off and use detail spray to wipe it down between washes, the finish will stay looking good. You can keep it nice, it just takes time and effort. No since in having a nice car and never driving it. I think we all agree to that.

It will be very difficult to keep a car like this in pristine condition unless it is never driven and kept in a bubble. The owner was very anxious to show it off Saturday night. All I can do is to provide the owner helpful tips and related maintenance products to keep the surface as scratch-free as possible until the next detail session.

This car has not seen water since new. Hence the fine wipedown scratches on the surface. Detail bay was near spotless before arrving. All I had to do was a light detail mist wipedown.

Detail value: $275.00+.

Right on with the pad selection. The orange 5.5" pad worked great on the majority of the fine scratches. For the deeper ones and narrow sections, I used a 4" yellow/M105 combo and removed the rest of them.

Your combo is definately working Ive been having wonderful results with the LC PFW/105 as well . I havent had a situation yet where this pad has left even a hint of marring .

Lake Country just sent me some 6" flat purple Kompressor pads to test this week. I'm going to demo them on an '06 sapphire BMW 330 next week. I've used some of their 7" ones previously with the same results you mentioned.
