Car Wash Z4M Coupe and 996 Cab

Jbs · 10-03-2010, 06:05 PM

My car is in a definite need of a detail. It went through an autowash a few weeks ago, and there are swirls galore now

, but at least light spider webbing is the only problem. I was just doing a small wash to hold the car off another week or two until I do the multi-step detailing. I pulled the car in, and my mother wanted her DD washed as well

The last few weeks has been hell on my paint

. Very Dirty

Clean! But I still have all those swirls!

After some quick spray wax to hide the swirls for a little bit

This paint will be flawless in a coupe weeks!

wow, ur mum daily drives a 996 cab? that's awesome!

deep colors like bsm and ibm show up the swirls, dirt and pretty much everything else as well too easily. it's a real chore to keep clean by hand weekly!

How wide is the lens your shooting with? Love the pics

what quick detailer did you use to temporarily hide the swirls?? none of my qd or spray waxes seem to hide them at all.

are you doing the detail yourself? lmk know if you need any supplies/help.
