Title: Accelerate Services - Iyole's Black Cabbie
Post by: 08micsta on September 30, 2010, 12:21:45 pm

Hey guys

A few weeks back I gave Iyole's cab a quick once over prior to a matric dance.

I had the car overnight but only had about 5 hours to work on the car before a very rushed delivery. So here goes:

Goodness - Photobucket is useless these days... Takes sooo long to upload pics.

The first task was to give the fabric roof a thorough clean with some fabric cleaner lightly diluted.

I then continued to the dirty rims:

Once the roof and rims were sprayed down I then hosed the car down with a rich concentration of car shampoo:

I then towed the car dry and continued to do a single stage polish followed by 2 coats of wax. This gave the black a very gorgeous wetness:

The interior then needed some TLC:

It was then up to the final touches. Exhausts, trim, tyres, windows etc etc before delivery.

And of course a very quick shoot. Due to the rush the pics were taken in the space of 15 minutes so please excuse the lack of creativity. I think it gets the point across though. This is one beautiful car!

Pics!
