Default Great Detail

Had my TA detailed by a reputable detailer in North Houston. Not sure if I can mention the name since he isn't a sponsor. Anyway, he generally deals in exotics and classic cars and isn't cheap but he did a damn good job. Removed the rear wing, lights, and all the plastic bits to get it right. It came out amazing. I don't have the tools or knowledge to work with paint detailing at this level so I have to pay for it. Sorry the pics aren't great. It started to rain right when I got home so I had to get it in the garage ASAP so I just clicked off a few pics with my phone.

Looks good, but enjoy it while it's clean. Since it's black it won't stay that way for long.

No kidding. Black is a pain in the *** but the detail was less about just getting it clean and more about removing the ton of over spray that was on it and getting some paint correction done.

Looks great.

Now the hard part is maintaining the finish and to use proper washing techniques.
