Liberty STI Silver - DMS Detail

Postby Dan@dmsdetailing » Thu Feb 21, 2008 4:23 pm

Hey guys,

Did this today for Lib STI. He was booked in for a stage 2 but it really wasnt needed so (after discussion) it was decided to do a stage one instead.

The process was
- Wash
- Clay
- Wash
- Polish with Menzerna Final Finish 106FF
- Wash
- Wax with Swissol Scuderia.

It came out very nice in my opinion. Im pretty sure Lib STI was happy to. Just as i finished putting my gear away it started raining but. The metallic will pop heaps in the sun. So hopefully its sunny tomorrow lol

I took lots of pics but i had the ISO set to High (i dont know how or why, nor do i know what ISO is) so most turned out crappy but i changed it back to auto and here are whats left.

This one shows clarity and lack of swirls/scratches

This would be my fave subi by far! I love it, especially the wheels. Thanks for letting me work on her Norm!!

Any questions shoot,

Dan

Edit:

This pic shows beading. This is what a wax should do in the rain. It will form beads then run off when they get big enough.

This is one i dicked around with in some photo edit thingy in vista. Its kinda funky i think

Dan,

Pretty sweet work there :)

Don't suppose you have anyone that you know up in Brisbane that you would recommend?

Hey Mark,

For a new car i would suggest a sealant. Z2 Pro would be perfect. 3 layers will give you at least 6 months protection. Then you can top that with tech wax if you want. However, the tech wax has fillers in it so it will mute your metallic flake. I would suggest either of the following
- Optimum car wax. Easiest wax ever to use just spray and wipe -$~30
- Old P21S paste wax - $~55
- New P21S paste wax - $~ 90
- Swissol Onyx paste wax - $~110

Give me a call if you want to discuss it more.

dan

that looks fantastic!!!

the pics prove that I made the right decision to pick the steel silver for my GTB....

I pm'ed you previously....but you can answer it here....so you still need somewhere that you have access to water right?

the reason why i ask is that i live in an apartment so may not have access to a hose for you to actually wash it....

hey dan little off topic but your the man to ask, i have silver and black rims http://www.vertiniwheels.com/images/wheels/fashion/fashionA-big.htm??/ that might give you a better idea, anyway to my question is there an wheel protectent of the sorts that will help to keep them looking shinny and new, cause after a wash the black fades pretty quick cause break dust loves it. (by the time i drive the car home)

Cheers

P.S my bad if this is a stuiped question

Awesome Norm, damn.... I really wanna see it now!

Can't wait to check out the job now at the next meet man.

Great job Dan, I've been using that Tech Wax and your right, the sparkle ain't coming out as much. I think I am gonna have to get it removed.

Do you do weekends as well?
