Dedicatedperfection Makeover: 2007 Chevrolet Aveo

[Mike@DedicatedPerfection]

I wanted to do this for a friend that is on a small trip to another country. While this vehicle has been sitting, what better test bed to try new products than one that is at my disposal? Anyways it has seen better days and needed a new lease on life.

Now I left my AIO choice blank at the moment as I was blown away with its performance and would like to hear some guesses as to what I used. It is not Menzerna 3n1.

Interior process:
Inside vacuumed with 6hp shop vac.
Inside wiped down with Meguiar’s Quik interior detailer

Wheel Prep:
First up Meguiar’s D143 Non-Acid Wheel & Tire Cleaner
Decontamination step with CarPro Trix (2 rounds)
Tires hit with Meguiar’s D101 All Purpose Cleaner

Exterior paint prep:
Foamed with CarPro Snow Soap
Washed with Meguiar’s D110 Hyper Wash & Meguiar’s X3002 wash media
Dried with Meguiar’s X2000 MF drying towel
Clayed with Meguiar’s D155 Last Touch and C2100 red aggressive clay
Wipe down with CarPro Eraser to remove Clay lube and residue

Exterior process:
_____________? AIO driven by Flex 3401 and white hybrid pads
Additional LSP with BlackFire Crystal Seal
Tires and Trim dressed with BlackFire AIO Trim and Tire Protectant
Wheels and doorjambs cleaned up with CG V7

I don't have pictures from the round of D143. This is during the decon step

After agitation

Meguiar's D101 APC

Wasn't too contaminated

I will leave this one 50/50 shot. Guesses anyone?

So, which AIO is it? BTW, review on it coming soon. :xyxthumbs:

[Nick McKees37]

Outstanding work as always Mike! :buffing:

 

[Goin Rogue]

HD Speed or d151.

 

[Joe@NextLevelDetail]

Im going to go with chemical guys all in one polish and sealant

 

[Angus]

NuFinish F.T.W!

Psych! My guess is also BF TP&S.

Great work as always, Mike. Did the owner know you were going to clean up their ride? Or is this a surprize?

Dear Mike,

you came with a killer thread, tremendous nice work summed with suspense, who's not into it?

My vote is for (also being original without citing any already said above) - Wolfgang Uber AIO, it's a tremendous product as well.

Thank you for sharing your process as well, your friend should be more than happy to be test subject of your dedication. Congrats!

Best Wishes.

Awesome as usual!! That car is so small you actually grab a telephone pole to turn. I think you use your feet to stop too!...LOL All kidding aside, as always incredible work!!

 

[High Caliber]

Your buddy is a lucky guy! Looking real nice..

I'm going with Tato Uber AIO ?

IIRC...
You're often in agreement with the Synergistic
approach of using Brand-centric products.

With that in mind; and with BlackFire Crystal Seal
(BFCS) as the added LSP...the "AIO" was, more than
likely, of the BlackFire-persuasion.

However:
The Rhineland's Klasse AIO makes for an
excellent base...whenever adding a Sealant
is on the detailing agenda. :dblthumb2:

Hahahaha! Nailed it Ian.

That's right.

This was somewhat of a surprise. I told him I would do it, but he didn't know when or to what degree.

Dear Raphael,

Thank you for the kind feedback.

I have not used Wolfgang Über AIO.

Awesome as usual!! That car is so small you actually grab a telephone pole to turn. I think you use your feet to stop too!...LOL All kidding aside, as always incredible work!!

Thanks CJ!

No kidding. That car is so tiny. You feel like you are speeding when driving it but your really not. You probably could Flintstone that car.

Your buddy is a lucky guy! Looking real nice..

I'm going with Tato Uber AIO ?

Yes sir. Thanks.

Blackfire Polish and Seal

 

[Rod73]

I see that I am pretty late on this ..

I am curious if you have tried Menzerna 3 and 1 or Pinnacle XMT 360?

I ask because of your experience with Menzerna polishes. Also I have XMT 360. I know it is a very mild level of abrasive but I have heard AIOs can be a hit or miss with soft black paint marring. This thread had me thinking about that.

 

[Angus]

Cheers, Mike. You're a good man to surprise your friend like that.

Remember my 4Star interior protectant post on my sister in-laws X3? She had no idea I was doing any of that and was pleasantly surprised by the results. Opportunities like that just make you feel good

 

[Focusst14]

I am with you completely on this one mike blackfire Polish and seal worked amazing. We both had to sit there with an inspection light and just stare at the before and after for a good 5 minutes or so. Glad to be able to keep working and helping you out with your weekend details can't wait to see what we will get into next bud!

 

[Paul A.]

Yes, i'm a little late to this as well but i'm gonna go with BF Polish and Seal. :dblthumb2:

Looks phenomenal, Michael, but as usual!
