Detail - 2011 Kia Sportage

Hi Folks.

Got handed a 2011 Black Cherry Kia Sportage with some serious scratching and dealer detail fail to correct.

Just so some of the pictures make a bit of sense, Black Cherry is a midnight colour, with a medium brown base coat, mica intermediate coat, and a black tinted clear coat.

This is quite simply a nightmare colour to work on as it shows everything, and I mean every little thing.

20 hours of solid work later...Let the pictures begin.

Expected drivers side bling shot post sealing and wax....Very happy owner, very stuffed detailer lol

purdy...

so when you coming to Queensland lol

Pretty funny, all I'm seeing is pictures of a messy garage, its ceiling, oddly shaped bent chairs.

That's a top effort Jas, the only way I'd own a car that colour, would be to have it detailed like that regularly.

Great work Mate :2thumb:

Thanks mate.

Sadly the owner of that car had it keyed yesterday...The day after I detailed it.

Very annoyed owner and detailer.

Grrrrrrrr

Scum. Unfortunate side effect of telling the world you care about your car by keeping it clean and in good condition - because some low life deadbeat who is angry at the world for his own reasons knows its going to hurt you more than most when they drag a key down it.

I feel for him - I had three panels done on my old skyline. And for what. I hope someone drags a key through their eyeballs.

Haha jase, you touched a kentia.

Soccer mum germs for you champ :2fin:
