Once again, another great job. You really bought the yellow back to that Hummer.

Very nice :dblthumb2:

Yellow is one of those colors that doesn't seem to show the magnitude or effort taken to really make it stand out. The before and after photos are like night and day and the yellow simply glows.

1-Step products have come along way through the years, care to share which one you used here?

One great finish and at 106F I'll bet you were glad it was done...rops:

Yellow is one of those colors...

Yes indeed.

Nice job and you've been having a heat wave in Texas.

 

[reality33]

Very nice job as always Cosmin!

that kind of heat can take the wind out of your sail in a hurry, as always Cosmin great job!

Looks great! One just like that parks next to me in the parking garage. Yellow too! Always think it would be a pita to detail. The windows are so tiny... theres a lot of painted surface area to deal with there.

Looks awesome!!

Great job on handling the heat that long..

Good job. Working in the sun with this heat is the most difficult thing. What did you use for correction?

One great finish and at 106F I'll bet you were glad it was done...rops:

i choose a mix that works great for me so far... 2-3 dots of sip and 2 spray of 205 on same pad. i usually go with 1 spray of 205 but in this case i need the polish to stay wet , 80% of the polish surface was overheated.
i use an lc light green cutting pad with flex da.

as protection i went with 2 coats of carnauba moose wax, done with DA and blue cobra finish pad. CMW is known as good handling in the heat.

when i buff the roof i split it in 16-18 pieces , the worse part was up and down the ladder with flex around... all done under the sun , YES i was very happy to see it done.
the owner got a cover for it and i hope he will try keep it shiny/cleaner till i see it next time.

Thank`s everyone

What do you charge for a job like that?

 

[DaGonz]

What do you charge for a job like that?

Detaling that in 106 degree heat... not enough!!!

 

[ExoticAutoDetai]
