This one is a buddy at my work. He is leaving for a trip and wanted a nice cleanup and wax. I've been wanting to try out a XMT360 to XMT180 Finish so here goes :)

Wells/Tires - Power washed and degreased with Awesome APC. Proceeded to AA Tire Foam wells and MEGS Endurance HG Gel on the tires. I do this first due to a tip from Justin, you always can wash off the overspray with the 4-N-1 instead of cleaning the overspray off later after your done with the body wash :p

Washed - DP's 4N1 Rinseless Wash - 1 Bucket/GritGuard/Schmitt White/Yellow and Dried with MF towel

Correction-Cleanup - Examined surface and it didn't need claying everywhere so I hit the high spots and proceed with the UDM and edge2K green wave pad and XMT360

Protection - XMT180 applied via yellow foam applicator. I'm almost half way through this tub !!! Amazing wax for the price
:applause:

Interior - Leather Cleaned with Megs and dressed with AIM Viynl and Leather treatment. Windows cleaned with Clearkote QS and the plastics cleaned with Awesome APC. (No Pics)

Total time was about 3.5 hours and payment $175

Your details look sweet at the end very nice. :applause:

Thanks for sharing.
 
Ehuth1~ a bomb job! That looks sooo great! Very, very nice job!! Yet another AG master!
 
Nice!!!
Man, that's a lot of real estate to cover in a detail. Great job!
 
come on man you gotta get that stuff outta the tub and on a pad with the udm... don't make me be the first!

do you not do detailing full time?

Nope I'm just a part-timer hackin' away :) I would love to do this full-time, but my real job isn't to bad, so I'll stick with part-timing.

I have about 45 customers total that I try to squeeze in every month. In my current job I only work 15 days a month 12 hours a day :D

I would love to see you do it first. Get some pics too!! I think it would save alot of time and pressure control with the PC will make a big difference when it comes to even application.
 
Fabulous job indeed! I too love that tailgate reflection shot.:righton:
 
I just noticed how you added the photos of Souveran and stuff by your truck!! Love it!! Ha ha!! :-)
 
good work, nice to know your putting the UDM through its paces for everyone.
 
Awesome work as always. You are always taking it up to the next level. Good tip on Wells/tires. Awesome APC is a great product for a buck.
 
:applause: Awesome depth, excellent clarity. What else can a customer ask for a detail job?
How would you compare poli seal and xmt360 mate?

To be honest AutoSpa I have never tried the optimum line except for Opti-Seal. I can vouch for Poorboys Polish with Sealant being a close runner-up to XMT360. The only drawback to PB PWS is that it may dust a little, work time a bit longer, and the correction is mild compared to 360.

I switch up from time to time though. PB PWS with Souveran on top is a major + !!!!
 
Great job! Awesome reflections! Looks like XMT360 and 180 are an awesome combo!

alright bud just for you!! im getting my sample tomorrow and doing an X5 tomorrow afternoon... so sunday you can bet me pullin it out and using the cyclo to butter it on!!! BTW what do you do at your job
 
Boy that UDM sure is a nice machine. I recently purchased the PC and now I'm already wanting the UDM. Hopefully, I can save up some money to get this machine. Nice job with the XMT360. I've been using the 360 w/the PC and can't get results like that.
 
Hey, Man.... you do excellent work. I look forward to your posts.
Great job.:applause:
