A few recent details.....

Busy day today! The King Ranch was brand new, only real problems were the infestation of bugs it acquired while in transit from Houston to Southern Calif. Beautiful truck with some very impressive leather for a domestic T R U C K. "Coppermetalflake" I believe was the colors name, only available on the KR model. The paint has less OP then the Bimmer! Nice work Ford!
The truck was pretty clean from the get go, and with last nights rain, all it needed was a Freedom One wipedown, and then I hit it with the UDM, a blue LC flat 5.5" with DuraGloss 105. I would have gone right to Four Star Ultimate Paint Protectant if I felt it didnt need a little cleaning power. Proved right on as it really brightened up well. The owner commented on the flake afterwards. Just the right amount of flake also, not overwhelming as some metalflakes can be......



Next up, the Toureg. I last saw this in March, and it was surprisingly very well kept since then. Went right to Surf City Nano Seal, UDM, Grey LC flat 5.5". Interior leather complimented with DG leather conditioner. (no pics of this beautiful leather though)



Next up, the 07 335i. Man I love this color!. Last March was its last treatment, still in great shape for a DD. Used the UDM and blue LC 5.5 with a mix of 105/UPP. Reason being I was getting some dusting with the 105 on the King Ranch, so I wanted to oil it up a little bit, worked like a champ, and really felt slick, and looked bright when it was completed. I even clayed the PPG on the hood which was a first attempt for me, and it made a siginificant difference with the sealant on the hood .....Tires got Surf City Beyond Black Tire Pro....Interior treated with DG Leather Treatment
I actually borrowed the clients digicam for all the shots as I had forgotten mine, they were kind enough to have emailed me them promptly for this showing.



And heres a days compilation of work. A little under 6 hours for all three........

Can one of you please loan me one of your money trees please?

Like that burgundy. Looks almost like a candy in that first shot.

The cars look great! That 335i is a screamer. The 135i is coming out around the first of the year. Gotta love a turbo car!
