Beautiful job. Looks like she got a complete detail from a request for "wash & wax".
 
Yeah, I threw in the 360 as an extra since she's my wife's dentist. :)

Thanks for the compliment, by the way.
 
Mike that was very impressive!! I love the afters and I can say from experience those liberty's are b@#$h

Looks like the foam gun was working good too! One question how did you clean behind the spare, I always hate those on those particular vehicles.

I'm with Jimmie looks like she got the works!!
 
Great great work man. You can't go wrong with XMT 360. The black looks dripping wet.
 
Thanks guys, I really appreciate it!

ehuth1,
Dude, you are one of my inspirations to the foam gun! I love seeing your "Show 'n Shine" jobs on here. Unfortunately, I didn't do much behind the spare tire. I got what I could with the UDM. A little AW behind the spare tire leaves behind some protection since 360 w/the UDM wasn't an option.

By the way, what's your exact process when it comes to the wash cycle. Do you use a mitt to go over the vehicle or do you also use a 2-bucket method on top of the foam gun portion? I went over the whole vehicle with a wash mitt and a rinse bucket and I couldn't believe how much time I shaved off by using the foam gun. The foam was so thick on the ground my feet about slipped out from under me.

Thanks for the compliment, but your the man you really deserve :applause: that thing turned out great!! My process has basically turned into presoak all tires, wells with degreaser, then presoak all bugs and tar with mild degreaser. Then I crank up the PW and foam away. I use the shaving creme foam due to it lingers longer and I have enough time to get the whole vehicle done in full sun! Next I spray the whole vehicle off and proceed to my one step quick wheel wash... Spray and rinse :)

I can have a car wash and dried in about 15-20 minutes tops. I've been using the air wand attachment on my leaf blower. Talk about cheating your way to quick details, do a search on that :)

Vehicle looks great, love the reflection. Blac clour vehicles are very rewarding when detailed properly.

She looks great, thank you for sharing.
 
Sweet job. :applause: Wow on the paint, I must say 360 rocks. I hate the CC on jeeps, hard as nails. Thanks for sharing. Do you like the UDM better than the PC? Is it quicker?
 
sparkie,

After about a half dozen times of using the UDM, I definitely prefer it over the PC. The added power to the UDM is what makes it superior to the PC, IMO. The level of correction is greater and quicker, for sure!

Thanks for the compliments everyone!
