We detailed a 2011 Pearl White Chevy Malibu today. Came in after being purchased by a new owner. They had just installed an Xpel clear bra 3 days prior. Minor swirl marks were removed and paint was brought back to a better than new finish!

Products used:
  • Optimum Car Shampoo
  • Mother's Clay Bar
  • My own clay lube recipe
  • Menz SI polish
  • Klasse AIO
  • Collinite 845
  • Meg's Wheel cleaner
  • DP Interior Cleaner
  • Pinnacle Leather Conditioner
  • Blackfire tire gel
  • PB Bug Squash

Wheel cleaner doing its job!

The before pictures were very hard to take on this white car, but here is the best I could get before polishing

I tried to get an outside reflection on the roof, but couldn't quite get it. In person the reflections were unreal, I didn't know you could achieve reflections like this on a white car

Thanks for looking!!
 
Great job! I just noticed the bow ties in the weirdest places, like inside the headlights on the piece that covers the bulb, and also on the side marker light. Chevrolet always seems to stick bow ties everywhere they can.
 
Nice work. White is one hard color to make pop

Very true, however, when you nail it...it looks great

Hahahaha, they sure do. My Ford has a Ford logo inside the headlights but it does not light up like the bow tie
 
great job. I have a silver 2010 malibu, like you said, it is hard to see the swirls.

how long did it take you to do this job? just curious.

once again, looks great!!

About 10 hours...not including a couple breaks I took.

Silver and white are so hard to see swirls, but you still notice a big difference in the gloss when they are gone! Im the MAN
 
Great job! the Malibu looks perfect. I really like the Interior color scheme.
