Well, it was time for winter on this one. You may remember this one. It was one of my first posts here back in May. I've washed it every 2 weeks since I did a major overhaul on it. The owner had just returned with it from Florida and wanted it fully detailed again. There were not many swirls in it this time. He keeps the inside immaculate so no shots of it. This was an exterior and engine bay only.
Here's the full story.....
Start Time:
9:00AM
Finish Time:
12:30PM
Payment:
300.00
Wash and Clay with Meguiar's NXT
(Used wash ShMitt on entire vehicle including wheels)
Optimum's New-Formula Polish
(EDGE2K Green Polishing Pad with a #5 PC setting)
I stepped up to a tougher pad with this amazing polish to see how the black paint would react to it. Took about a dime sized amount per panel which would be 4 dimes for the hood. I worked pretty slow. About 5-6 minutes per panel keeping it damp with XMT's Pad Condtioner. Man, this stuff have amazing work time. Took out any and all swirls and left one of the softest finishes I've ever seen from a polish. No dusting and came off very, very easy.
Liquid Souveran...2 Coats Please!
(EDGE2K Blue Finishing Pad with a #3 PC setting. Removed by PC and White Finishing Pad at a #5 setting.)
This is the only wax that will turn black into gold! I could have stopped at one coat but I wanted to make sure and get full coverage. Buffing it off each time with the PC and pad really brought out the shine. To me, this is due to the heat that is generated. There is absolutely no dust and no difficulty in removing this wonderful wax.
Meguiar's Super Degreaser
(Engine bay, tires, and wells)
Armor All Tire Foam
(Engine bay, tires as a precleaner/ treament, and in the wheel wells)
Armor All Tire Gel
(Tires and trim)
Stoner's Tarminator
(Used on bugs and tar. This stuff should be in any detailer's toolbox....errr bucket!)
Stoner's Invisible Glass
(Exterior glass and chrome)
Befores....
Oh yeah. Forgot about this. He hit a small pole and did some damage.
Before...
A little of this....
And BAMMM! Not 100% but alot better. XMT rocks!
