    Nice Detail Jobs

    As some of you know I own and operate a detailing business here in WA.
    Every once in a while I get privileged enough to detail some very rare, very nice vehicles.
    From now on every car I get that is amazing IMO, I will upload here. Anyone in a similar situation is more then welcome to do the same!

    1957 Alfa Romeo Julieta Spider Normale

    Got to do this one today. Beautiful car. The bad... garage paint job, no wet sanding or finish work done. They just wanted it machine polished and waxed.
    I of course recommended wet sanding and cutting but they declined. Oh well. Its still amazing. The front was getting rebuilt so I detailed it at my old mechanic shop and hung with my old friends to. :p







    I regret not being able to drive it.

    Used light foam polish pads, with Griot's Machine polish 3 then 4 @ speed 2.5 with a standard direct drive rotary buffer. Finished with Griot's Best of Show hand wax.

      1976 Lancia Scorpion

      Did this one as a side job before I fully started detailing. I was working for Bristow's (same shop as above).
      Another amazing Lancia, much better flow, styling, and looks then the zigatto's had. Very Very rare car in the world, especially the states. Not very fast, but loud. Handling felt pretty stiff and uncomfortable to me, but I've been told on a track it was way ahead of its time (says Pete Bristow). I would consider this car one of the early super cars in terms of styling.









      Just hand waxed with Meguire's liquid carnauba

              Amazing! The Alfa Romeo was awesome, but to get your hands on a 76 Lancia...wow.

                  That '76 Lancia looks like the early Lotus Esprit's. Nice interior too!
