Default Pics of Detailed Car

Just finished detailing my car.

Used

Pinnacle Scratch & Swirl Remover
Pinnacle Advanced Finishing Polish
Pinnacle Sovereign Wax
Mothers Back-to-Black
Engine Brite

Car came out very well. Pictures do it no justice. I did it all by hand because I've never used an electric buffer before. Many spots were removed and swirls minimized. The paint is definitely darker/richer than before.

Looks really nice! Tip: Hit the wheel wells with some tire foam or Meguiars tire shine cut 1:3 with water. It really makes the wheel/well "pop."

Nice job!

Thanks guys. I would have loved to of taken pictures outdoors but it was raining as I took these. I'll snap a few more tomorrow in the sun.

Thanks for the tip btw. I used Armor All tire shine gel but I'll be sure to get some spray to touch that up those wheel wells

Hmmmm, im very impressed!!!

Where have you found Pinnacle products?
Is it an online only type product, or have you purchased through a local store?

Was going to say the same thing about the wheel wells...look at me always looking for the negatives.... Car looks great all around, I always get annoyed when I see what looks to be a well taken care of car on the outside. To open the door and see an interior that looks as its never been clean. Same goes for the engine bay...but I digress. Nice car

I got the Pinnacle products at Drivers Seat in Boca Raton, right across from FAU on Glades. Here's their webpage.

I see your shifter surround is peeling.

If you feel up to it, remove that piece from the center console and polish it up by hand with some of that Pinnacle polish and it'll remove the rest of the dull-looking finish, leaving a high-gloss silver plastic underneath!
