    Ferrari 458, Mercedes GTS, Mercedes S550, Aston Martin Vantage

    I wanted to share a few of my recent clients I have worked on.

    First up is this gorgeous Mercedes Benz S550 that was covered in holograms. This was done by a local "pro" shop and they ended up screwing up the car bad. The car is a daily driver so it was decided a 1 step polish would do the trick. I ended up spot compounding a few areas as it spends some time on the Jersey Turnpike.

    Exterior
    - AIO and compound not available here at AG but performed flawlessly for me.
    - wheels and tires cleaned with Megs D143
    - tires got Optimum Opti-Bond
    - sealed with another non AG product.

    Interior
    - Mothers VLR




    This Tesla Model S had not been washed in about 7 months when I got it. It's my clients daily so he just wanted a once over to get back in shape for more work. This received a basic wash n seal along with a clay bar session. Nothing fancy but it was a nice turn around.





    This customers Mercedes Benz GTS received a Wash n Seal with a basic interior service. It did require claying to remove some contaminants but wasn't too bad.





    This Cadillac Escalade had not been serviced in a year when I got my hands on it. This was easiest the dirtiest vehicle I have worked on this year. The pics dont do this justice. I hit it from every angle and spent 3 hours alone on decontamination.

    - Iron- X
    - APC Wash
    - Degreasers of all types
    - Tar removers of all types
    - 3 washes to get the dirt out.

    After all this it finally got a clay bar and then was sealed. The interior was so-so. Mothers VLR made quick work of it. The truck was being prepped for resale.






    This gorgeous Aston Martin Vantage V8 is a daily driver for a client that gets regular service from me. This round it got a rinseless from another non AG vendor. The wash is a combo wash n seal AIO. On cars that are taken care of on a regular basis it does the trick nicely. On occasions like I use a hybrid technique where I use hose/bucket for the wheels and barrels. This ensures the wheels match the rest of the car. The tires were dressed with Opti-Bond and the interior was cleaned and protected by Wolfgang interior cleaner and protectant.




    lastly this gorgeous Ferrari 458 received a Wash N Seal package along a clay bar session. The tricky part with this car is are the carbon ceramic brakes. I used simple soap and water and really took my time getting them clean. The rest was a simple pass with VLR on the interior along with a wash n seal AIO and it was ready for the track or highway as the customer uses it often.



    if anyone has any specific questions let me know and ill do my best to answer them.

    If your in the DMV look me up. I love to talk shop! Blitz Detailing

    Cars look awesome! What products did you use on the outside of that 458?

    And that S550 is from NJ?
