This car belongs to my friend's girlfriend's mother. It's her daily driver, and is always garage kept. She takes very good care of the car. Frequently vacuumed the interior and kept the dust to a minimum. So our main focus was to polish the moderately swirled paint to a high gloss and seal it for protection. The budget allowed for about 80% paint correction. We did a quick interior vacuum and wipe down, and added protection to the leather.
We started the project at 7pm on a Friday night and finished just after 10:30pm. Honestly, I was very impressed with just how quickly we were able to complete this. It's amazing just how quickly a project like this can be completed with 2 people compared to 1. This was the first time either of us have detailed at night. The only light we had was a single halogen work lamp and the fluorescent lights in the garage. We did NOT sacrifice quality for speed. I made sure everything was done properly. Since we were short on time, I came back two days later to take pics. (Car wasn't driven all weekend since they were out of town).
Now onto the pics. No befores were taken, just afters.
With flash. My camera was being bi-polar :doh:
without flash
Wiper cowl treated with 303
In the background is an Isuzu Rodeo we also did a few weeks back
Of course it had to rain the day I took pics, so I couldn't get better shots :doh:
Main products used:
Meguiar's Gold Class car wash
Porter Cable 7427XP
M205 on a white polishing pad
DP Poli-Coat Sealant
Optimum Leather Protectant
303 Aerospace Protectant
Meg's APC+
among others...
