Detailed the wife's ride.

Well I attempted to detail the exterior paint of all 3 cars but I only managed to get the wife's car done and clean my garage out while drinking all at the same time. She was happy so it's all good and my garage is clean now so I could actually have enough room to detail the bird.

Props to Rich189 for the helpful detailing info and product recommendation. I only got to put the sealant on and will wax it next time I wash it. (Takes 12-24 hrs to cure I was told)

Before







After







It's a pretty easy color to work on but it had a good amount of swirls in the paint and imperfections when the sun directly hit it.

The true test will be the bird and the G8 when I get a little time to work on them.

It's a tough color to really show the work that went into it but it's still noticeable.

Rich - How did the car come out? Btw, how do you manage to wax the car the same day you apply the sealant? Just curious.

I normally dont but certain sealants dont need a 12 hour cure time and with my odd work hours most people leave the car overnight so i go out polish etc. in the middle of the night go sleep for a few hours and put wax on before they come back and pick it up. and his car came out great i think he was really happy with it.
