Been awhile since I've posted a full detail. I've mainly been doing wash/vacs and mini-details. I did 8 wash/vacs on Tuesday.....4 Denallis and 4 Escalades!
This one was a referral from my local Chrysler dealership. The owner had back surgery so the car went unwashed for 7 months. Being black and in the sun all day.....it was bad.....very bad.
Here's the regimen for this one:
Start time: 8:30AM
Finish time: 4:00PM
NXT Car Wash
(Clay barred entire car....wheels too.)
XMT #3
(EDGE2K Yellow cutting pad with a #5 setting followed by a #4 pass)
Hood, roof, and trunk took 2 passes. I did this in direct sunlight on a black car. No dusting and no pad clogging.
XMT #1
(EDGE2K Orange polishing pad at #5 setting)
Used this to polish out the paint. There was some minimal marring where I made 2 passed with #3 and this process took it right out. Once again in full sunlight. Not one problem.
DP's Max Wax
(Applied by hand....removed by hand)
I worked one panel at a time due to the heat. Went on and came off like butter. Left the surface feeling like silk. The hood, roof, and trunk revieved 2 coats.
Other Products used:
Purple Power Degreaser
(Wheel wells and tires)
Woolite 10:1
(All plastic, leather, and carpets)
Armor All Tire Foam
(Wheel wells)
Armor All Tire Gel
Stoner's Invisible Glass
I am very impressed with the XMT lineup. It's product do what they say they can. As for Max Wax, I believe this is still the best value out there.
