911fanatic vs S65
 

This car belongs to the same client we recently did the black Porsche turbo cab for. When he dropped it off his instructions were not to go crazy as this was just his shitty weather car. :shakehead: We settled on a protection detail but as you'll see in the pics, once it was washed, it was very apparent it would need a little more loving to make it right.

Car was a wee bit on the dirty side. Not surprising as it's his crappy weather car.

Trying Griots HD wheel Cleaner. Although it does turn red, it doesn't turn the wheel blood red like Sonax.

Not exactly sure what the hack at the tire shop used to do this, but it obviously wasn't a good idea.

Thanks for looking.

I swear, what you do is like art. I can't believe how amazing you're work is. I really need to get my car detailed.

S65 shitty weather car..

:seriously:

:fulloffuck:

Not sure how many S65s there are in vancouver, but I've seen one (looked exact like the one above) tearing up the sea to sky on the way back from whistler, in the rain .. I tried to keep up ... tried :okay:

like a muthafukin boss.

thanks for sharing! awesome work as usual!

how long does it take you to do all these...

Those brakes......

...

I usually put the time it took right below the list of products I used. This one was 10 hours.

All the wheel cleaners I use in the shop are safe for regular use. Having said that, the Griots worked well, although its not quite as strong as some other non acid products like Sonax or AG CWC.
