The Official AutoLavish On-Going Detail Thread - LIVE THREAD!
We have lots of cars to post up for you guys to read about, but not all can be "feature" cars due to factors such as time constraints, after photos not good enough, etc. For these car who deserve their mention we present:
The Official AutoLavish On-Going Detail Thread
This thread will get updated frequently with random cars, so you will want to check in from time to time and get the latest. We will, of course, continue to provide our typical "featured" detailed write-ups posted on a quasi-weekly basis, as we have so far. But this thread will hopefully let us catch up and show off some of the less-extravangant corrections.
First, here are links to all our "Featured Car Threads" in the forum:

2003 Berlina Black S2000 Detailed by AutoLavish
This was the last car we detailed during the Trip to PR in December 2009. The owner of this vehicle is a talented videographer, and works in the local press. He offered to shot some videos of us working on the car, which turned out great (see them on our Channel). Marc had returned to Michigan already, so I have few pictures of the process. This also means it would take longer than with both of us, meaning there would be no sun shots after completing the detail.
If you have been following our work in PR, you can probably expect this vehicle to be severely swirled. Berlina Black, need I say more? The paint was in severe shape.
Upon arrival, the car was ready to go. Aresk1 had his cameras up and ready, and a blue screen with ideas of filming stuff for an intro and effects and stuff...
Engine needed some cleaning:
Notice the swirls in the paint:
After an initial wash we proceeded to tape it. Here Aresk1 is setting up the GoPro for some shots...
... while I take paint thickness measurements:
Polishing consisted of a mix of Menzerna Intensive Polish via the Porter Cable 7424 on an orange pad, followed by Menzerna Nano Polish 106 on a white pad, and Menzerna Final Finish PO85RD on a black pad. Polishing would span a few days, as the weather, being nice but unpredictable, did not cooperate. Here are a few shots after the front portion of the vehicle was polished:
