Best color by far
I like this color more than black
I'd say with the detailing skills of @Caffeine Fiend and his photography, any car can be made to look awesome =] It does look really good though
What's been done to this exactly? That's my colour but new again!
Thanks Guys
My detailing is definitely better than my photography lol.
This was a two day detail consisting of:
- Full wash and chemical decontamination (inc ferrous iron decon, foam wash, two bucket hand wash, dry)
- Claybar decontamination
- Two stage paint correction (machine polish) to remove/minimise swirls and scratches as well as increase gloss levels
- Iso wipedown to remove polish oils/residue
- Application of Opti-Coat ceramic polymer coating (left overnight to chemically cure)
- plastic trim restoration
- General cleanup inc glass, door jambs, tyre gel
Approx 16hrs for this particular car

Wow!! Good effort looks da bomb!!
jealous... awesome work Dan!!!!
@mech81, you must be stoked
Awesome work yet again!!
@allo80 Yes Alex..it was long overdue for the maestro touch. Now at least i know the paint is properly corrected and protected.
One downside of Dan's work and not any fault of his own :P - it shows up the various dents and stone chips that were being previously "masked" by my lack of cleaning very well lol - *desperately resisting the urge to respray the front*
As always Dan did an excellent job - its becoming an expectation Dan @Caffeine Fiend
Thanks Dennis. I work by a very simple rule: Treat every car as if it were my own.
Re the stone chips, if you didn't want to spring for the full respray, check out Dr Colorchip from the US. They sell great paint touch up kits. Very easy to use and better results than the touch up paint you get from a dealer.
Dr. ColorChip Automotive Paint Chip Repair Kit - Dr. ColorChip: Automotive Paint Chip Repair Systems
They've got a few videos on how their system works. Highly recommend it.

Looks brand new! Gloss monster strikes again...I bet @mech81 is stoked!
Niice who did the full respray? Oh wait...
Nice work Dan, amazing gloss levels and awesome reflections. Suprisingly not much orange peel on this one by the photos
Looks awesome, got a guy in Sydney doing mine, Reflex Effect at Parramatta.
A bit far to travel to Melbourne for a detail, but then again. Hahaha.

No worries will do
Nice one dan as usual 16 hours work is pretty full on and i know u spend alot more time on other cars, good patience sensei. Also not sure if it has been discussed but might be worth making a sticky post on what you recommend to fully detail a car. For e.g wash wax, polish with this then do this finish with this etc etc. Obviously wouldnt turn up as good as urs :P and opti coat wouldnt be easy i would imagine but would be good to know what to use/do in terms of getting your car to look tops.
