Slick and I have been planning a big detail since the start of the year but due to both our cars being in and out of the tuning garages we never found the time until this weekend to bash our heads together and work on his beast.
Slick's car was detailed by Shine On (probably one of the best detailers in the world imo) almost two years ago so this at least gave me a solid base to work on. If anyone knows how to wash their car and cause minimal amount of swirling its Slick. His paintwork considering it hasn’t been machine in nearly to years was immaculate and made things quite easy for me.
From this detail we wanted to achieve two things apart from just swirl removal.
Depth - The degree of richness or intensity: depth of color.
Shine - radiance or brightness caused by emitted or reflected light.
A two stage detail was on the cards!
