First bath!

1SerieStud · 10-22-2011, 11:55 AM

All,

I have had my car for 4 days, and I was finally able to give her a bath, detail, and apply my all-time favorite paint sealant, which makes the surface look like glass! The car already has paint protection film installed, and the window tinting will take place on Tuesday.

Enjoy, and please ignore my photography skills (or lack of) - tomorrow I will be taking my car to a photo shoot.

Looks fantastic. Nice job on the detailing. What paint sealant did you use?

Great pics. After I saw the gator tag, I assumed I would see a reflection of you with a mullet wearing jorts. ;-)

LOL

that was a funny assumption, however, I'm quite the opposite of that!

Sounds like a typical Dawg....haha.

Let me know if you ever head to Gville, it would cool to see my AW next your VO.

Looks stunning, love that color. What other products did you use to detail your 1M?

I assumed you couldn't be a typical gator fan with such good taste in cars! Still haven't decided if I'm going to the game in jax next weekend. The Dawgs just might have a chance!

DooBs · 10-22-2011, 02:20 PM

Wow looks absolutely amazing.
Which PPF did you use?

Thank you. As of today I only used Blackfire Wet Diamond to seal it. I also keep microfiber towels in the trunk with a bottle of Blackfire Quick Detailer, which is designed to work with Wet Diamond in case I ever see any water spots or bird shit on the go. Some people choose to wax over the sealant, however, Wet Diamond does everything for me. To wash I use Poorboy's World Super Slick and Suds shampoo. I use a 3-bucket setup with bottom grids in them, microfiber wash mitt and microfiber waffle weave towels to dry. For the interior I use BMW's Leather Cleaner/Protector as well as the Lexol products. I basically buy all my products from a professional detailer site (detailedimage.com).

Oh and for the clear bra I use Xpel's Cleaner and Polishing/Protection products to maintain it.

You turn this OCD when you own black cars lol I've owned 2 in the past.

As sad as it is, I may have to agree, we have no offense this year.

Haha! Nice! Congratulations to you too!!! I haven't pressed the M button either...I refuse to until broken in, because I'm scared to become instantly addicted!

Bump!
I use it as well. 2 coats then a wax on top for that deep shine.

flzrider · 10-22-2011, 06:31 PM

Niiice. I'll be rocking a Gator plate on mine too. We should have a Gators/1M tailgate, haha

I can't wait for my car to arrive so that I can give it a proper bath. I was only able to use a pressure washer before I dropped mine off in Paris.
