Got the car back from being detailed...

I dropped the car off at Almos' place on Thursday, thanks Ken for the ride back. Allen was kind enough to pick me up Friday night to get my car. (the E55 has changed my thoughts on MB's, it's very nice.)

I was very happy with what I saw. The car looks better than when I first got it. He did a remarkable job! I will post pictures of it later today.

It was a pleasure meeting Allen again and I will be dropping of the M5 in the future for him to work his magic! Thanks Allen.

Chris,
I saw the car mid-process and it looked incredible. Like you said it looked better mid-process then the day I got mine when I first bought it too. Looking forward to the shots. She's going to be all primed up for next Saturday huh.....I can be the before shots and you can be the after......hahahahahaha

I had the chance to see the final results for quite a while yesterday, and with Chris' car up on a lift under flourescant lighting you get a critical view of any detail work or paint flaws on ANY car... ALMO, that car looked like glass! We might have to schedule some time to let you work over my black beast!

I love the Blue on Chris' car though... Black is great when it's clean, but man it is so hard to keep looking good.

Thanks Mike! By the way, didn't you attend an MIR outing with the EFA and or MACA clubs a while back. If that was you... I made it a point to hurry back on the secondary and run up making sure to see your P car run.

Jason, I have a few pictures but my camera sucks... I'll toss them up anyways soon as I can get them hosted.

Wasn't me. My car was at the drags only once, and that was the 6speed track day rental they did last October, year ago yesterday!

Gotcha... the P car was a black 996TT with black wheels and polished lip like yours. I think I recall it knocking off some 10.20s or similar times.

Damn Josh, my bad. I haven't had time to take some decent picks. I'll try and take some today. I will have to say that Allen did a great job getting rid of the swirls but it looks so clean that I can see all of my rock chips. I'll have to get the hood and bumper sprayed.

Here are a few but as you can see they didn't turn out well at all. I took them right at sundown as you will be able to tell.

Yes I know my camera sucks!

Before... lots of swirls.





After


The spots were from my camera

Allen,

Thanks for posting those pics. Unfortunately, I was unable to take any good pics before I went to the track today. I will wash her up and take some pics soon. FWIW the car looks 10x's better when I picked it up.
