Default ACDetailing: 2007 GT3RS

This is the famous Sharwerks Hulk Green 3.8L GT3RS that I was prepping for a photo shoot later this week. The car was in perfect condition, but when they took it to the dealership to get worked on, even after telling the guys specifically not to wash the car, they did, and even put a sign on the steering wheel!! So the car wasn't in terrible shape, but it did need a light polishing to bring back that 1% .

How do you feel about those powersticks? Recommend them? I'm thinking they would be better at cleaning heavily soiled wheels than a boars brush. Can you use the powersticks to clean the face of the wheel as well? As always good job.

I was very skeptical too.. and they work wonders! I would definitely recommend them! You can't used them on the face though, with the way they're designed.

What if you were to use the drill kinda sideways, like parallel to the wheel? I haven't used one so I have no idea how they might work, probably gonna pick up one or two.

Booo! I hated the color too actually.. but in person, the color just adds to the sheer madness of it all on the street/track. This car is the pinnacle of Sharkwerks' GT3RS'!
