HUGE Detail: Tons of Pictures

AriG1102 · 12-23-2011, 05:24 PM

Sorry if the pictures aren't the highest and best quality. They were all taken with an iPhone 4. Spent all day detailing and removing all the swirl marks of my jet black e92. It was difficult and time consuming, but the result make it all worth while. Enjoy the photos and any feedback is encourages, thanks.

Using it to cover up a dent and I get a lot of compliments on it and I don't mind it, but thanks for the advice.

Very nicely done! Looking to do mine in the spring! Out of curiosity, why did you tape your car off in sections?

First to fill the gaps so wax doesn't go in it, another reason is because when you do a paint correction you have to do it in sections. Also you can do good comparisons to the areas that's been corrected and the others.

Good job bro, you look like you know what you're doing.

N0OS3 · 12-24-2011, 10:13 AM

^__^ a good self detail is always rewarding. I bet you felt like the king of the world for a few minutes after you were done, huh? lol

monkawekrue · 12-24-2011, 02:21 PM

Thanks man and this was my first time ever attempting this type of detail. Just did it off of prior knowledge and common sense.
