This car also belonged to the owner of the red S2K I just posted. This car is absolutely INCREDIBLE! The owner said it should be pushing somewhere near 350whp and this car is super lightweight! This car is tracked/auto-x'd quite often and actually just got back from one just before I detailed it as you can tell from the blue painters tape..haha! this car is so fast, the Targa flew off Fast and Furious style going over 120mph on the interstate and it SURVIVED!! :-o

BEFORE: Note. The wing was removed for polishing purposes.

 

All the plastic trim and moldings were cleaned with Meguiars APC+ and a Swissvax Brush and then treated with 1Z Einszett Gummi Pflege Stift.






This is the only damage the Targa sustained from its flight at 120mph on the highway!


After being compounded and polished..



A couple test 50/50 shots, the best I could capture on the camera with this color.




All the plastic trim, painted edges and the clear bra were taped off to prevent any damage from the buffer..




The engine was also degreased and dressed with Meguairs APC+ and Hyperdressing..




The only hint that you get to watch out for this thing!

 

AFTER:










If you cant tell, this is my favorite porton of the car.

 

Finally got the wing back on it, looks SOO much better!




















And one without the Targa.

 

I just now noticed that last picture with the tiny street cone hahah. I have a question for you. In your washing process, do any of your sponges or mitts leave behind any type of streaking. Every single time i wash, i get these awful looking hologram like streaks that look like i dragged a comb across the surface. Any types of sponges/washes or techniques to prevent that??

 

I would recommend a nice Lambswool mitt such as this one..http://www.detailersdomain.com/index...ROD&ProdID=312

As well as using a proper two-bucket wash method with grit guards.

 

Ok, i just now purchased that mitt, because i had one similiar to it, but not nearly the quality. For the grit guards, do i have one in each bucket????

Im assuming one bucket has the soap
And the other is for rinsing the mitt

 

You are correct, I would use one in each bucket. But if one or the other, then put it in the rinse bucket.
