Re: Detailed: Davey's Garage Queen

Thanks so much fellas, it means a lot to me coming from you guys!

Also, what 5.5" pads does Meguiar's have?

Oops, my bad! I meant to say 6.5" pads.

And don't forget you can remove your rego sticker now.

Yeah, I heard something about that new rule. But I assumed I would have to let this registration period expire first. I will definitely not be putting a sticker on it in future if I don't have to!

Really like your rims! Nice configuration.
What process do you use on them?

Thanks! The rims were already in very good condition. So I just washed them with the GC soap and then hit the chrome lip with some ColorX.

Looks fantastic.

I need to do mine as well. It has been about 2 years or so for me as well for an intensive detail.

Nicely done. 14 hours well spent.

Awesome work, Davey. She looks fantastic after Meguiar's Super M Combo. Well done.

Re: Detailed: Davey's Garage Queen

Excellent job! Looks flawless!

Only problem is, it makes mine look underdone now, so I guess I will have to get busy...lol

Sweet looking ride, Davey!!! The perfect paint makes it even look better. The black paint looks a mile deep and extremely wet! Amazing work!!! Thanks for sharing!

I love M205. It's a great finishing polish especially when used with the black finishing pad after the initial compounding step. It produces a flawless and stunning finish. Your work is a prime example of this statement.

This car is always garaged and always clean. It's an MY09 Holden Commodore SSV.

I perform maintenance details (washing, claying, QD, waxing etc) on her regularly, but she hasn't had a full detail in about 2.5 years! There were a few light towelling marks on her, so I decided to give her the full treatment this past weekend.

I spent about 14 hours over 2 days.

- Washed with Gold Class, 2BM and Meguiars MF mitt;
- Clayed with Meguiars Smooth Surface Clay Kit;
- Ultimate Compound via Megs G220 DA and Megs yellow 5.5 inch pad;
- M205 via Megs G220 DA and Megs black 5.5 inch pad;
- 2 coats of M21.

I didn't take any before or during shots, but I walked back into the garage the next day and was stunned by how good the paint looked (probably the best its ever looked), so I had to snap these shots. Taken with my iphone 5, so quality could be better, but you get the idea..


























Thanks for looking and let me know what you think!
