    Winter Beater detailed...

    So you guys may remember Karlorado and his 325iS:




    Well Karlo is a pro detailer - Since I just finished up rebuilding the winter beater I decided to take it to him for a cleanup because 1) We got grease smudges all over the white paint and 2) It's cold as all hell out and I don't feel like doing it.


    I told him just a light detail and a good wax as it is the winter beater - more importantly getting the grease off the paint and I was hoping something could be done for the wheels which were absolutely CAKED. I literally have not washed or detailed this thing since I started driving it last winter.

    Well, a few hours later it was done and I was blown away. This would have taken me double the time and still wouldn't have looked as good. I'd consider myself a decent amateur detailer, but Karlo is a pro. If you want your car done this winter and DONE RIGHT, email him.

    He doesn't know I'm making this thread, but I want to get the word out that he's reasonably priced and does a phenomenal job for anybody else who wants to keep their car clean this winter.

    Trust me when I say this car was beyond filthy. Wheels were brown, the paint was oxidized and not one bit shiny. The car didn't have a drop of wax on it, and the front and rear bumpers had scuffs.


    Here's how it turned out:








    The wheels in particular were caked - brown. My shitty iPhone pics don't do them justice, there isn't a speck of dirt left!


    For reference the car is a 1994 Saab 9000 Aero with a Mitsu TD04 15T 6cm2 turbo and a Stage II tune at 19 PSI.
