Hey guys!
So on Friday, I think I got the dirtiest car I have ever seen. Its maybe been washed 1-2 in its life of 21,000 km

Interior not too bad for this weather!


After Pressure Wash


One half of the barrel of a wheel


After wash, clay, and blow dry. During claying, I clayed off a lot of bugs. Here bugs die off in October!


I managed to pick out some huge dragon flies and other bugs in the bay.


303 Aerospace


After Carpet extraction and pressure washing the all season mats

How I do my work orders


Spot compound with FG400, then polish SF4500 on a white High Gloss

Towel I picked up from Autoobessed. Love it! Feels around 500-530, short nappe, silk lined, XL size

Starting to tape, least favourite part of a job

Fun time! This stuff smells like the fruitiest guava and is the baby brother to Crystal Rock. Swissvax guarantees it lasts 6-12 month and in my experience I believe it!

Had a great mirror shot... but the flash had other plans, oh well

Improved. These are "junk winter" rims and the owner didn't want anything fancy on them. Not even a sealant.

When its sunny tomorrow I will take some good pictures of the full car and upload them to the site. All my pictures are taken small and low quality to keep the file size small enough I dont have to resize and/or compress the files to get them on here. Got more cool stuff coming too! ;)

Thanks!
 
Holy crap! That was dirty. I can't believe anyone would neglect their paint in such manner. That's why you get paid the big bucks, nice clean up.
 
After looks awesome!
The motor bay looked terrible!
Your comment of washed twice since new made me laugh and I'm sure an e350 isn't being used as a snowboard mountain commuter (although when I was in breakenridge Colorado I definetly saw a 911 turbo with a roof rack) it reminds me of my white jetta in high school my car looked like that every Monday morning from the Saturday Sunday commute to go ride!
 
Incredible work Andrew! Looks fantastic. German car, compounds, and machine. What a combo!

What color pads for FG400 and SF4500?

Thanks Mike!

I used an orange pad with FG400, and a white with SF4500.

I found the orange+FG400 on the Flex was about as aggressive as I wanted to go.
 
Finally got a day with no blizzards or snow, nice -15F

Great work Andrew and nice pics.:xyxthumbs:


This looks like something I pulled out of a drain pipe one time.:bolt:

Thanks!! Sometimes I wish I lived in a warmer place. Then all I would have to deal with is brake dust :P
