Hi guys, Marcel here. Wanna share my recent work.

History:
Client called and asked me to polish his SUV because he never took it to any detailing or car spa before. This was the first time. Upon arrival, the car was literally covered in hard water spots. So i told him polishing can't remove the water marks but can diminish the appearance and remove swirls. I said wet sanding might be a solution, but not worth it. He agreed at this point. He has brought the car to Meguiars center and other detailers that also said the same thing. Good start!

Ammo:
ONR Wash n Wax
Soft99 claybar
