Well it all started with 2001 Ford F-150 green and swirled out, then I moved onto a Jeep Liberty decent shape, and finally moved onto a 2001 Lincoln LS again swirls everywhere. I didn't get everything out of the Lincoln, but for $80 she gotta great look and durability until I wash again. The total change made today $315.00

Here are some examples of my troubles allday !!

Marring I got to fix (This was there before I washed.... This is the rear door.

One pass with Orbital Magic.. This is the front door.

Washing
I used NXT and Wal-marts new Simple Green brand wash. The Simple Green had a jelly style liquid form like the NXT and seemed to work good. I've been mixing different washing to just see different results.​

Swirl Removal
Since I still have a gallon of this stuff I just keep using it. Crystal Images "Orbital Magic." It works great with a polishing pad with high speed 6 setting on the PC. The swirls minimize and the paint is left super slick, but dusty :(
I continued on after re-rinsing the vehicle and drying.​

Wax
I love the liquid Souveran. The one bottle I have has made $500 by itself!! Can't say enough about this wax.​

Tire / Rubber Dressing
Armor-All Extreme Tire Gel (Orange Bottle). This stuff is great for a OTC at Wal-Mart. Goes on great and more coats means more gloss. No SLING 2 !!!​

END RESULTS

Wow talk about hard work, you do great work though. Those cars look amazing, I like that truck very nice color and so wet too.
 
wow...you are definitely much more generous than i am when it comes to an lsp for your customers....i usually only use top end products like souveran for an upcharge (or by request for my regulars)....great job on the f-150. "forest green" type colors are always my favorite to work on...even if there is still minor paint correction needed it still doesnt show like it would on a black car...and definitely still "pops" when you are done

I just started doing all my customers with liquid souveran because its so much easier by PC and the wet factor has so far worked on every color. I have Souveran paste, but I'm ike you only VIP or requests will get that. For $30 bucks a bottle it's worth topping any customer due for a wax. Oh yea I'm only half way through my first bottle and its produced $500 profit.
:awesome:
 
ehuth1, Nice job bro. I never thought green can look so good! All of them look awesome.
Man would you just look at that green!

Very good work! Those pictures are impressive, especially the green F150. How many hours did you spend on each car/truck?
