Happy Detailing

Z4dugh · 04-20-2015, 10:02 PM

Detailed this weekend, minor paint correction with Rube LHR15, Sonax Perfect Finish, Menzerna SF4000, and finished with 2 coats of Ammo Skin Defense Coat / Sealant. Used Meg microfibre cutting & finish pads.

Looking good, Nice detail job.

Jimswift · 04-21-2015, 12:14 AM

Car looks great! Pro tools sure make things a lot easier. Any link to larger pics?

How long did the detail take and how long did you let the first coat of skin cure before applying the second?

Looks great!

6 to 8 hours including wash & clay, sealant requires 24 hours between applications to cure

Thanks

This is another shot that I think looks pretty good.

M_Rated · 04-21-2015, 08:47 PM

Nice job

Arsonism · 04-22-2015, 03:06 PM

Any tips for the engine bay?

Z4dugh · 04-22-2015, 10:23 PM

All purpose degreaser, like Maguire's super degreaser 4:1 mix, lite brush, hose off with fine spray of water to rinse to away soap. Dress with Adam's In & Out.

Arsonism · 04-23-2015, 12:23 PM

Thanks man, I'll give this a shot. I've been debating what to purchase to clean her out and I'll have the opportunity to soon. I really appreciate the feedback.

Nate4641 · 04-23-2015, 12:52 PM

That's a great looking garage! Nice work on the detail too.

Z4dugh · 04-23-2015, 10:17 PM

Thanks

tiltmode43 · 05-04-2015, 12:34 AM

Very nice! I really need to adopt this sort of attention to detail, sounds like a full day's work.

Digs · 05-10-2015, 08:00 AM

Looking spot on mate! How do you like your Eisenmann pipes? - they look awesome. Mine should arrive in a few weeks, can't wait.

Z4dugh · 05-12-2015, 12:50 PM

The Eisenmann sport exhaust mufflers have been great, nice sound improvement but not too overbearing. Maybe a slight drone but not uncomfortable for riding in. They do give off a smell for the 1st 100 miles, like rotten eggs. Very nice finish with stainless, and easy install.

Vanne · 05-12-2015, 09:11 PM

Wow, good job matey, looks unreal

and yeah as Tilt said, great looking garage too. Id love to have my spare set of rims up like yours.

Digs · 05-13-2015, 02:15 AM

Cool. It was a tough choice between the 'race' and 'sport' but my ears get blasted by my two stroke motocross bike most weekends so trying to be sensible, I ordered 'sport'. Thanks for the review.
