I worked with JSmooth's crew on this one. I did about 90% of the polishing and him/his crew did the interior.
This vehicle was a recent used car purchase. The owner had some concerns about the paint condition, so she had her dealer address them.
When she received the vehicle back from the dealer, the paint looked great until the first wash. Once the low-quality wax was removed, a ton of holograms and buffer trails appeared.
She spent several months looking for a quality detailer, but finally found Jsmooth's shop. Her main concern was that many detailers were hiding the defects instead of removing them. She was incredibly happy when she saw our completed result.
Products Used:
Wash - P&S Pearl Wash
Wheel Cleaner - Meguiars D140 Wheel Brightener
Chemical Decontamination - Iron-X Spray
Mechanical Decontamination - Nanoskin Fine Grade Wash Mitt
Lubricant - P&S Paint Gloss
Polish - BLACKFIRE Scratch Resistant Clear Finishing Polish
Buffing Pad - Meguiars DMC6 DA Microfiber Cutting Disc
LSP - BLACKFIRE Wet Diamond All Finish Paint Protection
Tools Used:
Rupes 21
Brinkmann MaxFire Dual Xenon Light
Wheel Woolies
Various MF towels
This is how the vehicle looked upon arrival:
One step paint correction using a Meguiars DMC6 Microfiber Cutting Disc and BLACKFIRE Scratch Resistant Clear Finishing Polish. Just look at these results:
Pretty good for a one step correction?
Haze-free:
Near perfect:
From a distance:
The obligatory gloss picture:
Thanks for looking!
