Default 01 BB s2k corrected

Hello!

So today I got the chance to work on a friend's Berlina Black S2000 that looked to be in very good condition besides the common swirl marks that covered almost every panel of the car. Its been a long day and my back has endured many hours of abuse, but buffing the wax in the end makes it all worth it.

On to the best part. Pictures are worth 1000 words

major swirls!

Great work - I love and hate this colour.
Just a quick question - the tyres are VERY old. These are still Bridgestone S02. Not on the market anymore (at least in Europe) for years.

Cheers

Awesome work. I recently detailed a neighbor's dark grey Lexus and used the M105/205 followed up by Blackfire Wet Diamond. Clay bar was thrown away because it was black with the contamination I removed. Neighbor was blown away and spread the word. I am 68 and have a retiree dealing bus. (just me) but hard work and the right products and process keeps me pretty busy. Beats bingo at the senior center.

wow! I envy your energy to continue working on cars my back was killing me after detailing this S for ~7 hours. I really hope I can still be chugging along in the garage at 60+
