Beautiful car and great cleansing!

It was a vinyl pinstripe. I used a heat gun and a combonation of goo gones sticker lifter tool and the plastic razor blades found on autogeeks great selection of detailing supplies!

Thanks everyone for the kind responses. This one was a joy to polish as it had a huge transformation. Again thanks for appreciating my work!

Been awhile since I have done one of these threads. Owner and friend called the other day and asked what I could do with the paint of his newly acquired Scirocco. He wanted the paint polished and the fantastic :rolleyes: red pin striping removed. Unfortunanly time did not allow me to take a lot...

The first post is not very clear and it seems as if people are posting show and shines. Can we post a show and shine if it was posted and the detail completed this month?

Wow, thanks for all the great replies everyone. Having a car leave like this at the end of the day is what makes all the hard work worth it. I'm glad everyone else enjoys it as much as I did.

The next night after work it was time for the little things. After rewashing to remove dust and drying I was left with a very nice surface to start sealing and then waxing. The car was sealed with Black fire wet diamond paint sealant. And let cure over night. In the morning I applied...

The next day I compounded for the majority of the day. Here are a few pics throughout this long day. Before 50/50’s After Hood Before Hood area 50/50’s After After compounding, going back to spot buff with the wool after revealing the deep RIDS under the...

The owner of this beautiful vehicle called me over the weekend on a reference from a friend of mine. We discussed what he wanted done to the vehicle and he chose one of my detail packages that included correction, interior and an engine bay cleaning. I would have to say that I'm completely beat...

It is an absolute killer on Black. Thanks!

Ive been using the ULTI-MIT Wash Mitt by Lake Country. I absolutly love it, its easy to clean all the grit out between the little grids and holds a ton of soap and keeps my finish perfect. It seems like its made of the same foam pad material that the Red LC finishing pad is made of.

Whoa, thats a lot of polishing. Great job, that thing looks amazing.

Since I didnt have my camera the entire detail I appoligize for the lack shots of other panels and of the full car. I however did have the camera the night I finished and below will show some shots of the correction using different lighting and before LSP Camera flash and a handheld shop...

As you guys can tell, I do quite a lot of VW's. Here is another one that a local forum member contacted me about. He wanted Exterior correction done on the vehicle before he sold it. This car was finished about a month ago. Hope you enjoy. Process Wash/clay -Two bucket wash -DP Extreme...

While doing my test section I started with the least aggressive method. I tried using M205 w/ white LC pad and it wasnt cutting through the swirls. I then stepped up to m205 on orange and it still wasnt giving me the correction that I wanted. Finally I stepped up to M105 on an orange pad and...

Thanks for the compliments. The car is great fun weekend warrior and I can actually drive it around now that its been polished.

What guage power cords are you all using? I know in the directions for my PC7424 it specifies that a 14g power cord and lower is to be used. The lower the guage # the bigger the cord will be. The bigger the better. I had overheating problems until I switched to the recommended guaged power...

x2, 1z cockpit leaves a very oem looking finish. If the customer wants a little shine I will use the 1z for cleaning and top it with 303 protectant. Both look great depending on what you want. OEM Matte finish = 1z If you like a little shine go with 303

Yes I agree that it outlasts any other trim protectant. I've had that little bottle of black wow for a year now and still have quite a bit left. Use it quite a bit too. They key is very thin application. If streaking occurs use a damp MF towel to wipe clean and the streaking will be gone. It...

I think its greasy too, doesnt look greasy but to the touch it will be if it has not been properly wiped with a damp MF. It looks great and all but you need to apply it very lightly and make sure all residue is wiped off after it sits for awhile. My favorite exterior trim protectant at the...
