Photos from the wash bay and the driveway
Foam, polish and finished paint
What a detail looks like from start to finish: foam, wheels, polishing, interiors and the gloss at the end. Further down, two squeegee photos you can wipe yourself.

-
Foam pre-wash. Foam sits for five minutes and lifts grit off before a wash mitt touches the paint. -
Machine polish. Tape protects trim and badges while the polisher levels out swirl marks. -
Red leather interior. Leather gets a pH-neutral clean and a matte conditioner, never a greasy shine. -
Wheels first. Wheels are washed first with their own brushes and bucket so brake dust never reaches the paint. -
Paint correction. Correction is done panel by panel, checked under a handheld light. -
Rinse. A low-pressure rinse carries the foam and the loosened dirt away. -
Finished black paint. Black paint shows every swirl. After a polish it shows the room instead. -
Pressure rinse. A sheet of water rolling off clean, sealed paint is the test we use before drying. -
Leather seats. Seams and perforations get a soft brush and the vacuum crevice tool. -
Ready to drive. Sealant on, tires dressed satin, glass streak-free inside and out. -
Mirror finish. Good gloss is sharp reflections: straight lines stay straight.
