Damn Larry, what a great job as always. That's a NICE car 🤤

[@nc.detail]

Thank you, Mitch

[@Stainlessautos]

Excellent work! Big fan of this color honestly.

[@nc.detail]

Agree 👍

[@hotdognobun]

Blackwing is the only car that can replace my C63S.

[@FastVeeGME]

Great work, Larry! Will definitely be back!

[@christschool]

It's a shame that a car like this doesn't have carbon ceramic brakes. That should be standard equipment.

[@nc.detail]

This one actually does have the CCB option. Zero brake dust which was a nice treat.

[@Stainlessautos]

@@christschool it would definitely benefit from them, but I kind of appreciate that they didn’t make it standard but as an option. Not everyone wants to deal with that on a daily driver, plus the replacement cost is huge, even for someone buying a $100k+ sedan.

[@rdollie1]

​@Stainlessautospa I track my car so I definitely want steel brakes, not CCBs!

[@rdollie1]

Nice car! Where's your Blackwing badges? There's one you get from GM for free and if you want to match all the way around, you can buy the other 2 from the parts dept (make sure you save the foam template GM saves with the free one.)

All that work … to get caught in a downpour the next day…😂😂😢. Beautiful car and great attention to detail!

Excellent job now I know why custom car waxes are better and CC I can recommend you for spot in paint is better use Paint cleaner we have already used here in the shop greetings from Brussels 🇧🇪🙏

[@nc.detail]

Thanks

[@ctblackwing56]

Very nice..where are you located? I have a ‘20 CT6V and a ‘23 CT5 BW manual that need attention

[@nc.detail]

Thanks, I’m in Charlotte

[@ctblackwing56]

@@nc.detail ah,.I’m right outside of Charleston SC..beautiful work!

[@nc.detail]

Close enough 👍

[@jtm1979]

How do you like hlr21? I love it. Imo it is as powerful as Milwaukee and mk3. Hlr15 o the other hand is bit weaker, but its super smooth and get the job done too.

[@nc.detail]

It’s been great for the mid or final polishing step. I’m polishing over several days with multiple machines but haven’t had any battery issues.

[@jtm1979]

​@@nc.detaili have done compounding with it too. Works great

[@bjimsondetailing]

how many bottles of the ceramic coating did you use on the car

[@nc.detail]

1.5

[@HybridAgent]

Here is the problem. I spend about two hours washing my Blackwing and don't drive it for a week. 13 hours and it'll sit for two months.

[@nc.detail]

I hear you. Drive the thing

[@HybridAgent]

@@nc.detail I know, I gotta quit babying it

[@dwaynejohnson6545]

That beast was already meant

[@nc.detail]

Yup, pretty close to a new car prep

[@gandtoley]

Dude come on , 13 hours? 😂

[@nc.detail]

Pretty normal timing for me
