This was a very well taken care of i35. Garage kept, only 40k miles. Never the less still normal swirls for a black car.
Process:
Wash
Clean Wheels Datona Speed Master
Clay griots (not much areas needed )
All trim and areas taped off ( I like to do some while I go - like door trim )
Step 1: Xmt #3 on orange pad DA 7424xp, Exception- Front bumper was dull and very scratched / hazy so tackled with a Green foam pad dewalt rotary followed by xmt#3 on the DA. THEN..
Step 2: Local "Tripoly Glaze Sealant" on white pad w/ DA
First Vacuum
Carpets and mats extracted via minuteman gotcha
All interior : seats, vinyl, etc wiped and cleaned
Final Vacuum
Door Jams cleaned
All windows and glass cleaned
Tires dressed + Wheels final wipe
Chrome Muffler polished
Final Wipe down with detailer spray
Pictures below. Sorry for the iphone pics.
Before swirls
Taped off ready to polish
After
Carpet Before:
After ( Not 100% gone, hot water wasn't so hot. Downside to my gotcha doesn't heat but its super portable)
Conclusion:
I'm Happy with the way this car turned out, and so is the customer. Will be doing his daughters honda pilot next, and he owns a gas station and will be sending me referrals. This job took me 8 hours including a short lunch. If anyone can chime in on time please do. All constructive tips and pointers welcome.
Im the MAN
