Great work Pete!
LS owner details GM car
- Thread starter pektel
- Start date
Do they have a website? I can check it out for you. A good detailer will have a list of steps the vehicle will go through to acheive a desired result.
Here is an example of a good detailer's website:

I mainly use Menzerna. I have every one of their polishes. If I had to pick 2 to use with a random orbital, They would probably be Super Intensive Polish and PO106FA.
Wow!! 
That looks amazing. Now I need to get my butt in gear and try to do my car. I'm sure it won't look that good but if I even get halfway there I'd be super happy!!
Again, Nice work! Coming to the Detroit area any time soon??

Thanks. It takes a bit of patience and diligence to get a good finish. It's kind of a release for me. It gives me a chance to put on headphones, and get into a stress free zone. The results are always satisfying!
Detroit? Not anytime soon. But if you are looking for an excellent detailer in the southern Michigan area, check out www.deep-gloss.com
Looks like I'll be up at Bay Lake (just north of Mille Lacs) this summer for a family reunion. Unfortunately, I've got to bring the kids which means a trip in the minivan not the Lincoln. Otherwise I would do everything in my power to get your help on my paint. All I know is that you're in Northern MN anywhere near Brainerd?
Just got an email from Detailed Image. HUGE wax sale. The wax I used on this Impala normally runs 200 per jar. On sale now for 139.99.

Man Pektel if you lived closer to me I would have to have you do this to my car. Great job.
THANK YOU PETE!!!!!!
I am very grateful for your help in purchasing the correct detailing products. I just hope I get the same results. The previous owner apparently used car washes on a regular basis and thought the deck lid was a table. I now stand a chance of returning the finish to it's showroom condition!
Pete, you are a true asset to the LS community!!

Choose the least abrasive products!
Usually it's been my experience that "dusting off" a black car will do exactly that.
All the cars I had before the mark 8 were black cars, and it's very easy to fall prey to "ahh it's just dusty" and brush it off with a towel.
Which results in exactly what you see in those pictures above.
ONLY because I LIKE Pektel did I feel the need to fix this post.
Incorrect washing (or in this case, drying) technique was the main culprit on this one. The guy goes to a touchless tunnel wash, but there are 2 guys at the end who use scotchbrites or the like to dry the car.
Thanks. makes much more sense that way
Thanks, man. A lot of hard hours went into that detail.
