The owner requested a basic exterior detail - he was interested in a clean-up and protection. I advised him that for a very reasonable extra charge, I could add a light paint correction and a paint coating that would provide 12-18 months of protection. Like any rational person, he agreed once he understood the potential time savings (in maintenance) and the significant improvement in appearance (I did a 50/50 on a fender during check-in).
During the correction process, I discovered that parts of the roof measured in the 50-micron range and most of it was in the 70s. I advised the customer that no significant correction would be done on the roof, and in exchange, I compounded the hood and trunklid at no charge.
Wash: Meguiars D110
Clay: Meguiars C2000 w/ONR
Compound: M100/Lake Country PFW/PE-14
Polishing: Optimum Hyper Polish/Rupes Yellow Pad/LHR21ES
LSP: C.A.R. Products Bullet Proof Paint Coating, C.A.R. Products Topper (applied the following day for protection during curing)
