Today I helped a friend out by washing/waxing his car. When he usually bring his car to a car wash when needed. I just charged for materials used.

I started around 1 and had a little help from friends. I wanted to power wash the car but when I got there I think it broke. So we started on the wheels with Super Degresser and cleaned all 4 wheels and tires.

I then washed the car with Meguiar's Gold class soap. Filled 2 bucket with Grit Gruad.
Washed it from Top to bottom.

Then clayed the whole car with Meguair's white clay with Last Touch 1:1 dilution.
While I was claying they were vacuuming and wiping windows down.

I polished a small area to show my friend that the swirls can be removed.

I used Klasse high gloss sealant with the DA, took awhile to get use to applying thin layers.

Finally I applied some wax with DA that my friend got from an auto show called Simply Z Best. Applying and removing was real easy.

Then dressed tires and packed up.

Well, if the SG stuck on top of what was left from your GC wash, I'm sure that Simply-Z-Best took it right off! I think I'm a couple of months away from having the hose out again, and more snow coming on Friday.

Doesn't klasse require 8-12 hours to bond before being topped with anything including itself?

Looks like you've got a Griots DA there. How do you like it? Is that a lamb leveling pad and some kind of red bonnet for the buffout?

I think in the perfect scenario you should wait 8 hours to cure but I didn't have time to let it cure to finish it off with wax.

I really like the DA it really user friendly and I have many use for it.

Lamb leveling pad?

The red thing is 7 inch Kompresser pad, I don't really like it much because little pieces keeps falling out when buffing.

Yeah well I hope I didn't take the sealant off. I applied it with a red finishing pad at speed 3. I just wanted to put down some protection for these harsh months.
