Default IOM G8 GT detail. *Pic Heavy*
little swirly but nothing we couldnt handle. no big problems with the car at all. no wet sanding was needed in any areas on this one as well. washed/clayed then used meguiars 105/205 process. p21s top coat of wax and wolfgang sealant on the outside. Inside was cleaned and wiped. and detailed using adams products.

the owner did that work himself. he basically took the same steps as the whistler mod and had it painted body color. also installed LEDs at the bottom. gives it that "audi" look.

Great work. Cleaning that interior even made your camera produce higher quality pictures!

That's a lot of swirls for such a new car.

tips are on the wrong side. Not digging the body colored headlights.

Great job on the detail though and other than above car looks great
