Here is a 2yr old black Honda that was just covered with swirl monsters. The owner had never owned a black car before. I told him that it is a job to keep a black car looking nice,

He asked me to teach him how to wash and clean it so it would not look like that again. We worked on it together and he stayed out of the way.

Foamed the car and showed him how to us a MF mit to wash the car. He is going to buy a pressure washer now. I think he is hooked.


Products used:

DP Foaming Wash
PC 7424 DA
LC Orange pads
LC White Pads
m105
m205
Wolfgang Fuzion
Pinnacle tire gel
Many MF towels

Here are the pic of the process and results.

Customer was very happy with the job.

He called me tonight and told me he had to go to the Honda dealer to get a part. He told me that when he pulled in to the service area he was meet by many of the sales staff. They said they notice the car from the show room windows and had never seen a car shine so much.

Was nice to have a customer get notice to his car, and he called to thank me again.

Nice job. Excellent correction. I like the products as well. Just one question, why did you choose to go with Fuzion alone and not on top of a sealant?

I told him about sealant but he does not have a garage to keep it dry for the time required and told me to just wax it.

Tom,

Gorgeous job on that Honda! :props:

No wonder folks at the dealer came out and had to take a look!! :dblthumb2:
 
Very Nice job! If you do Black right there is nothing that looks better and you did it right! Awesome!:dblthumb2:

The Fuzion is very nice to apply. Just a thin coat is all that is needed. It also buffs off like a dream with a high quaility Micro fiber towel.

Post some pic of your car after it is done.

Tom, if you weren't my friend I would tell you the same thing.

You did a FANTASTIC job! I am impressed.

It takes A LOT to impress me.

Just sayin.

Thanks for sharing!
 
Damn, it's posts like these that keep my OCD going with my Black abused car. People keep telling me to shoot for above average rather than perfect and setlle for it. But I keep seeing stuff like this, then going out to look at my etchings and new swirls and I'm all ready to go at it again.. Not sure if that is good or bad... well definitely good for AG ;)
 
Nice work. I've got a black Civic Si that was in quite terrible shape until recently. When I took my car into the body shop at the dealership last winter I guess they decided to wash it with a salt-filled brush which put swirls ALL OVER my paint.

The fact that Honda's clearcoat is soft did not help either since it was really easy for the dealership to swirl it all to hell, although it was quite easy to correct it.

Oh well, anyway enough of my ranting. Good job! Haha
 
Man I don't know how I missed this thread.....glad somebody bumped it!
