First Detail

[Allen Anderson]

Did all steps, but swirl removal cause I don't have stuff for that yet.


All I have is afters cause GF took the camera to work yesterday.

But the car looked similiar to this black car before I started.

Here it is. Did my Mothers car.

The roof to show reflectiveness

There was a lot of dust on the car after only one day... is that normal this is what I got off the two hoods and roof.

Is that normal or is it the quality of my work/products?

I live in a pretty dusty neighbor hood as you can see the dirt field in the background theres another one of those across the other street as well.

Isn't the wax supposed to deflect this stuff?

How'd I do?

That line of wax on seem in roof shot is no longer there noticed it in picture missed it last night.

Wish I had befores.

If you live around dirt, wax or not it will always find its way onto the paint.

Noticed the tag left on your towel, be sure you don't drag that across the paint.

Thanks.

A few comments.

You should remove tags from mf towels so they do not scratch the paint.

A waxed car can attract dust.

Also, if you wipe down the car to remove dust, you should use a detail spray first then wipe off the dust. There are products like the California duster that can make this easier and safer on the paint.

From the picture, it looks like you just wiped it off without using a detail spray. The dirt in the towel can mess up the paint.

Thanks again.

I figured the wax was between the dust and the paint and almost no pressure was applied. I'll def use my detail spray next time.

Besides the tag on the towel how does the car look?

I didn't do windows/tires/interior/swirls.

Washed/clayed/waxed.
