07' STi detailed

[TripperFx3]

Did this one for a member of my car club. We're a primarily only evo club, but have one STi and an SRT-4. This STi is making around 325 wheel torque with just a TBE, boost controller, and a tune. He jumps my evo hard off the line and I don't start catching til 3rd, but keep in mind I have a larger turbo and make roughly 100 whp more than him, so when I start catching I catch HARD!!!! lol Back to the detail though. It was fairly trashed and it took me 2 days working and roughly 11 hours to finish. Mainly because the paint was really soft, so even the way it looks now there were still a few marks left, but it was around 95% defect free. He was so happy with the results that hes recommending me for another job with one of his co-workers and I'll be doing a mini-detail on his father Tundra later this week.

I thought I sent a long time washing my car, but 11 hours is insane! Another top notch job!!

[TripperFx3]

lol Thanks Brett. Actually once I learn the curves of a car and where the dirt likes to hide then I can do a throughly wash and dry a car in 10min.

[em1toevo]

^10 minutes?! That is haulin' ass!!!! I can do it in about 20 min flying through. Takes a min to scrape bug guts off the front of the car.

Btw, I just bought a Meguiar's clay bar/cleaner wax kit to do the Evo. It needs it so bad. I know it's not the best stuff out there, but it will look so much better. Now if I only had a day off...

Nice job tripp. I see the reflection, ;), getting that V I see. Keep it up!

[TripperFx3]

lol The reflection makes me look larger than I am. I've got a nice V going already :D. Thanks though! I'm happy with the way the car turned out. If I had felt like spending another 1.5 hours it would have been PERFECT, but I was to tired and wasn't getting paid for it lol.
