This is my friend's Scion tC, and I decided to help him detail and teach him a few things. He told me he has swirls as well, and I found out why. His lambs wool mitt has grit in it, and a twig :eek:, and he doesn't laundry his microfibers. Good thing I brought my Shmitts and my bucket and my Cobra microfibers. He doesn't use the two bucket method. I'm glad I was there to guide and help him. Recently he did a clay (he has Meguiar's Aggressive, which shocked me. I'm surprised I didn't see marring from the clay when I looked at the car under the sun, but he has a bit of swirling which doesn't look too bad), Meguiar's 3 step system, NXT wax, and Gold Class wax. I wanted to try my new Signature Series II on his hood.

Wheels: 1 bucket with grit guard, Gold Class shampoo (first time I've used this, and I really like it), wheel shmitt. He said he hasn't been cleaning his rims for a while, and his brush tool is exposing the wire that the bristles are stuck to! He really liked the wheel shmitt. I also showed him that he can use his car shampoo to clean his rims, which I guess he never knew. I'm trying to get him to buy some of the good stuff :).

Wash: A bucket he bought from target that has a grit guard looking thingy on the bottom, a 2nd rinse bucket with grit guard, Gold class shampoo, Wash Shmitt (my friend loves it)

Dry: Ultimate guzzler with DP 4 in 1 detail spray mix for drying aid (love this combo, but I love the leaf blower more). My friend loves the guzzler, and he realized the panels were dried after practically one pass. We also dried his door jams and in the trunk where the water likes to settle with his own microfibers (they suck at absorbing though).

Wax: Signature Series II on the hood and one fender myself. Man, I could smell the wax when I was applying it :D smelled so gooood. He did one fender and the lip. We didn't even have to swipe anymore wax on the applicator to cover all these areas! This stuff really goes a long way, I love it! Used Cobra Jr to buff off wax.

Onto the pics, no befores, just imagine a dirty tC :p

Note: On his camera lense, there's a blurry spot most likely cause of a fingerprint.

Pictures don't do justice for this wax :p
 
Justice or not, a pic tells more than a 1000 words.....

Good writeup, and that car looks g-o-o-d

Nice plate too;)
 
Hahah thanks. I enjoyed detailing this car. I wish the plate was real, cause I'd rock it :D
 
The paint and car look real nice..I like that blue....some blues really have a glow to them...Nice job

AL
 
Good Job! That blue does look very nice. Is the SSII for Signiture Series II?
 
Very nice and you had the best skeptic, the sun. The pictures under the sun look really good. Well done.

Thanks for sharing....I'm assuming your friend was blown away with the results.
 
Thats a pretty nice TC, theres alot of modded ones in the SF area around here. Most of them turbo'd too.

The blue came out great tho, next time get some bigger shots :D
 
You guys did a great job on that beauty. Your going to get him hooked.
 
Wow man nice detail!!! U guys did a great job!!! :righton: Im sure he loves the result with that wax! :awesome: SSII FTW! :cheers:
 
Thanks everyone!

Gary: Yeah the SSII was meant for Signature Series II :) well it's not applied to the whole car but a nice portion of the front clip. I too love the color.

My friend did love the results, he liked how slick it felt. I just can't wait till he sees the beading action. He's finally getting a job so hopefully he'll catch the bug and buy some products :)
 
SSII is just an awesome wax! I'm so glad I bought 2 tin while it was on sales!

goof job on the tC! I hope you're friend will put what he learned to good use now
 
Cute little car, nice detail you did on it. That blue looks fantastic.
 
that is super sweet, i really like that blue color and you really brought it to life... awesome job. hopefully your friend will put to use what you taught him and not be so lacks-a-daisy about what he does to his car!! if he does it again u need to charge him!
 
THanks for the compliments again guys! I'm sure he'll put it to good use. I'm gonna make him buy another bucket and a grit guard and some shmitts, AND some CObra MFs. He loves the guzzler so I'm sure he's gonna get one. I'm gonna put him through the right direction, and hopefully get him into going on AGO.
