This detail was performed in New Canaan, CT. Of the three details I had scheduled for my NY/CT tour, this was the only detail I performed as the other two appointments got snowed in. A Sapphire Black 328 coupe, it had severe swirling on the entire body. Took 12 hours to complete. Passenger side door panel; left side polished, right side unpolished: Last edited by eclipsisNA; 03-12-2009 at 12:45 AM.. |

This is an 09 Jet Black M3 with 221 miles on it. It had very few issues, so there's not much to talk about in terms of corrections. Deep scratch in the passenger side door. Had to break out the heavy duty polish: Scratch completely removed: Last edited by eclipsisNA; 03-12-2009 at 12:46 AM.. |

This 08 Melbourne Red M3 came to me in horrible shape. The owner left it to sit outside every night by a sprinkler system, which resulted in some of the worst water spots I've ever seen. Job took well over 20 hours to complete. This car was littered with etched in water spots and dirt that was practically glued onto the paint: Severe water spotting on hood. Keep in mind that the following pictures are after two pre-soaks, a sponge wash, and clay bar treatment. Left side of hood polished, right side unpolished: Last edited by eclipsisNA; 03-12-2009 at 12:46 AM.. |

Thank you for the kind words samurai! I worked for 12 hours on the first day, and around 8 on the second day. Took a long time but it was definitely worth the effort.

This is an 07 Midnight Blue Metallic Porsche Carrera S. This is one of the richer, more complex colors I've ever worked with. Upon first seeing the car, I noticed the extremely dull paint alongside moderate swirling on every single panel. After polishing, the paint burst to life, revealing a deep metallic blue with hints of lavender. Up next: take a wild guess what my next detail is http://www.dcturanoinc.com/r81.mpg Dirty: Passenger side quarter panel before polishing: Passenger side quarter panel after polishing: Passenger side door before polishing: Passenger side door after polishing: Complete: Last edited by eclipsisNA; 03-12-2009 at 12:47 AM.. |

First off, I have to say what an amazing job. Especially on the red M3.
Second, whats the difference between the minor and full? Do you only do certain amount of fixes? Could you Pm me price on Sparkling Graphite 06 E90 330i? Great job once again!!!

I detailed this R8 a few weeks ago and haven't had the time to upload the pictures, but now they're finally up. This car had scratches on the roof and swirling on the rear turn signal housing. Both issues were corrected prior to a full wax and seal. During medium-grade polish: Last edited by eclipsisNA; 03-12-2009 at 12:47 AM.. |

As always, thank you for the kind words everyone!
Pictorial: http://www.eclipse-motors.com/carbonm31.html This next detail is a 2004 Carbon Black E46 M3. It had severe swirling and what looked like color sanding marks from prior body work. Total time to complete this job was 14 hours. I do not have after pictures of the entire car, as I finished close to 1 AM. Left side polished, right side unpolished: Driver side door before polishing: Driver side door after polishing: Last edited by eclipsisNA; 03-12-2009 at 12:48 AM.. |
