Here's the link to the original thread that shows all the products, pads and tools used plus goes over the technique you can use to get results like these.


1998 Isuzu Rodeo Extreme Makeover! - Factory Single Stage Paint



BLACKFIRE products used....

Blackfire Total Polish & Seal
Used to remove shallow swirls, scratches, water spots and oxidation

Blackfire Midnight Sun Ivory Carnauba Paste Wax
Used on top the Total Polish & Seal for added protection and to create that deep, wet look.

That's an awesome transformation!

Sorry to be a bummer here....but you should have dressed the wheel wells quickly. I understand u guys are on a tight time frame. Sorry to point that out.
 
I love the before pic next to your jimmy Mike. It's so chalky that it looks like the pic is out of focus. Great turnaround you guys! Too bad you're on the other side of the country. Would really enjoy doing some of those make overs.
 
Daaaaaamn! Blackfire's new slogan "a chiropractors best friend"
 
I saw those vehicle pictures in the product info for the Total Polish and Seal over in the store. I didn't realize it was from a recent project. The difference is amazing.

I'm impressed that the TPS is within $1 of most of the other respected AIO's.
 
I was able to get one more picture of it before it left for the day...

I volunteered to remove the Star Wars stickers off the back window but was told they were put on by the current owner.



May the force be with you...

I love buffing single stage red, the results are always amazing!
 
Amazing work! Reminds me of a job I did a little while ago for a friend who was selling his car. I hope you don't mind me sharing?

Moving forward I'll make sure we spray some kind of wheel well dressing into the wheel wells to make the pictures look good. Personally I'm not a fan of anything oiling inside the wheel wells or anything that doesn't dry because it just attracts dirt, brake dust, and grime making it harder to clean the next time. Plus first time it rains, and for must people except anyone living in a desert, that happens often, the beauty results just start to diminish....

But hey... for a good picture...

I never used the blackfire product before. After seeing Mike use it on this project, I have to use it soon. Sorry I haven't posted in a while. The wife has been under the weather for a while so detailing has been put on hold. Again, an awesome job!
