Nice job buddy! Can you PM me your rate for a detail like this? Actually seeing as I just got my car last Febuary off the dealership, mine shouldn't even need a clay yet.

Let me know Brian! :D

Theres always got to be one. Not one of those pictures have the exact same angle.. I say this is legit and if not, humor the poor guy because he must live a sad life if lying about this is fun for him.

The difference is ...

The car was in the sun when it looked bad.

And the finishing pictures were in the shade ..

Wow what a difference. As for photoshop, i'll believe this is not. The sune has moved and at different angles and I believe a difference like this can happen after some good work. I'm interested in a prices as well.

Cant believe some ppl think this is fake.

I am no pro and did my own car last year and i got a great outcome. Teggy has been detailing for a while so i have no doubt in my mind that this is more then legit.

Good work bro.

What rate do you usually charge? That's some awesome work. You can still tell the difference even if the car is in the shade

photoshop? I think not.. I think if you've detailed before, you'd understand what you could achieve if done properly.
Black is so brutal, and so was that 350.. you did a great job tackling it!
what polish did you use?

Looks good.

Few suggestions:
Take some 50/50 shots. I dont think the above poster was serious, but it would really show off your work and how defect free it was.


The ordering of your products is a bit off. If you want to use your #20 and #26 you have to use your #20 first. #20 will have removed almost ALL off the #26. #20 has a decent amount of cleaners in it. I used it for a one step on a plane.

I think you even with this picture where I polished. Also most waxes can't be layered. Although #26 has no cleaners in it.


Just out of curiousity, why not use #21? I have a half gallon of both and I never really find myself using #20 anymore.

IIRC M20 has a but of carnauba wax in it, so it does have a slightly warmer look, but #21 has more gloss and durability.

:D wheel wells
but overall great work :thumbsup:

Thanks,

yeah i only did a very light coat of the #26 because i was doing the #20 after so it really wasent a problem.

I will have to give #21 a try once i run out of my #20.
