Since the time i started detailing i always wanted to detail a red / Black car...In my opinion a red/ black car detailed shows of the "Detailers skill" and i mean those colours looks amazing polished out.
so i was excited....then...
Customer wanted the car to be shiny again and he needed it back the next morning. So this wasent my golden opportunity so to speak.
However customer wanted it shine... i still wanted to use this car to show my potential customers the difference a decent 1 step polish makes.
On to the detail...
