Fantastic, well done. Thank you for share your tips, really I enjoyed your write up. Nice pics, but the best for me is the Flex signed by Mike Phillips. Congrats.

Very Nice work! :dblthumb2:

Thank you Seanboy, a very encouraging comment!

I have only coated 2 vehicles with PBL and one of them I coated then a week later I topped it with a wax and I like the look of the coating topped with a wax, it seemed to bring a depth to the shine.

I have no experience with the booster spray so I was just curious if it had any effect to the new coating, as the wax added depth, or if it was only used as a maintenance spray.

It can only help to ensure complete coverage in case there were any low or missed spots.

Thanks for feedback on that one.

Thank you mate! 'Ohh', that signed polisher was a great moment of my life. You bet it adds +1 to my polishing attributes, and Mike Phillips was kind enough to send that to me together with a signed version of his wonderful Book with a dedicatory.

I'm what you can call a really proud owner of a Flex!

Thanks for comments.

Love your dedication to do the best you can even if it sounds overkill for some people or some customers don't notice that 0.1% difference :xyxthumbs:
As a customer I would blindly trust people like you to do the job because I know you'll spare no effort/product to perfect the job even if I don't get into details of how you do it and what products you use.

Outstanding work Rafael! Your dedication to the job as well as your forum write ups are really coming along nicely.

I can only imagine your customer was pleased by the outcome and I am sure you will receive more work from him.

Best,
Mike

Thank you very much my friend, it's good to see when others notice our care for the minimal details that would not even be noticed by the owner... That's why I believe we are different from the rest, passing our days here along getting ideas, tricks and techniques from quality people.

Beautiful work Tato and nice polisher !!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed my polisher!

Thanks for chiming in, I've wrote earlier on your technique's thread how much your tips are helping me. If you enjoy my results, be sure I'm doing my homework (every single day), correctly.

Kind Regards.

Not sure if I've ever seen Silver pop like that...great job!

Beautiful!

I'm very picky with rims but I have to say those look good on that Honda.

Thank you for comments, really happy reading your words. I've put many hours polishing this one, even using a finishing approach, I've done it slooooowly and trying to finish very soft at the end of the polishing cycle.

I've read on this forum recently that PBL booster is awesome on Silver. Although I believe (and practice) preparation as the key, I may give booster some credit on this one as well to get the last drops of shine from the whole work.

I appreciate your words. Trust me, both me and my wife are picky with rims (just like you) and we agreed those looked good on that Honda as well!

Nice observation, I've shared your comments with my wife and she found it very interesting you've noticed as well.

Thanks for support my friends,

Count on me.

Kind Regards.

Amazing transformation! just out of curiosity, what year is the car? I must say if anyone ask that question now, they would think it just rolled out of a factory!

May I ask how you polished the rims as well, was it hand or machine polished ? they look like they're very easy to scratch and also maintain that shine!

great work bro, :iagree: especially on soft honda paints

will have a lot of questions for you.

it's too late here now but will get back to you

anyway :dblthumb2: and take care

Thanks my friend. This car was assembled in 2013, the owner is a very careful guy and passionate about cars. I really wish I've attended his expectations while I was trying to do this car like I was doing it for myself. Went out brand new.

No interior pictures, but I may assure you it was also detailed to exhaustion by my detailing partner, all 'transitional parts' between doors/lids, and interior, coated doors and door jambs painted parts from inside, also detailed engine bay, coated under the hood and protected plastic parts with 303. I simply love my partner! (actually my wife).

Wheels showed only some fine scratches and randomly placed, so I decided to just use cleansing polish by Pinnacle by hand this time.

This product can do wonders even with frontal chromed parts of vehicle, chrome handles, etc... Although it will not remove scratches (also, not incide any if applied with soft MF applicator), it'll thorough clean the surface and reveal the shine.

Any 'bug' killed that was resistant through wash, clay, etc, it'll get out in 2 passes even by hand.

Then, I've coated wheels with 2 coats of PBL wheel coating, 24h apart (one just after wash and cleansing polish the wheels, another at the end of the job some hours before delivering).

When I feel the need, I'd use a polishing cone (mothers, meguiar's) with a chrome polish and get the job done. Or why not, by hand as well. I like that elbow grease ahhaha

great work bro, :iagree: especially on soft honda paints

Thank you mate, will be my pleasure if I can help you in any manner.

Kind Regards.
