Advanced Detailing:XLR-V
These are long time customers of mine who own 5 black vehicles, all of them i rotate every cpl of months. It usually involves a maintanance wax and clay job.
This caddy they had for a few months when i finally took a closer look at it and noticed all the dealer installed swirls .
Now, this is an owner who despite having several really sweet rides, is not really a car guy so sometimes it's hard to explain to someone like that , that the car needs more than just a wax.
That day he wasn't even home so his wife had to relate the message to him.
I didn't get to take as many pics as i would have liked but i hope you can get a good idea of what it looked like before i started.

Nice!

How is this guy not a car guy? I'm assuming that the Z06 is his as well as well as the Escalade?

Nice job correcting the paint surface. The XLR-V looks great.

He likes cars but i say he's not a car guy because he barely knows what he has. The Z0-6 i don't think has ever seen 80+ mph. They have a Bimmer 750, ram truck mega cab and the three you see in the pics.
His wife is really my customer, he just pays for whatever she has done.

Wow....

Kind of rhetorical here, but why would you buy a Z06 then? Noteriety? I just can't personally see anyone buying that car and not drive it like it should be driven.

Beautiful cars none the less.

Talking about someone else, i would say you are correct.
But this guy is VERY lowkey and he definitely did not buy it to be seen.
No one would have any idea what kind of money he has.
I think often when he walks into a showroom he gets what he thinks looks like a nice car without knowing what it really is.
I know he went to get the Escalade and just picked up the V also because he liked it.

Which is why I drive my NSRT-4 hard. I know, I know, it's not a Vette but the car was built to be driven!

By the way, I like pics 9 & 14. The palm trees really show the detail work! :xyxthumbs:
