Liquid Black

[Black Diamond]

I have not posted any pictures here and I had a request to post my work both here and on another forum. I have been away from detailing for a while due to personal reasons and have just recently started back into this again.
Anyway:

The process:

Wash with NXT Car wash
Clay with Meguiar's Fine Clay Kit
Wash with NXT Car Wash

Wheels/Tires:

P21S Wheel Cleaner
Eimann Fabrik Tire Cleaner
Meguiar's Endurance Natural Look X 2

Polish:
As you will see from the pictures, the paint needed a lot of correction although my truck was in fair shape.

-Meguiar's #83 Dual Action Cleaner Polish with a PC and Lake Country Orange Light Cutting Pad -Speed 5
-Meguiar's #80 Speed Glaze with a PC with a lake Country White Polishing Pad - Speed 5
-Meguiar's #7 Show Car Glaze - For some reason I decided to try this with my PC and it did not work well. I should know better. Lake Country White Polising Pad - Speed 5
-Meguiar's #21 Synthetic Sealant X 2 applied by hand and buffed with a Microfiber Bonnet - Speed 5.
-Danase' Wet Look Glaze by hand and buffed with a Microfiber Towel
-P21s Wax applied by hand and wiped with a Microfiber Towel.

Nice detail but holy orange peel!! How do you like the Danase products?

 

[Black Diamond]

Luv the Glaze, and yep the P21s really brings out the Orange peel.

Looks good, the before (to me) looked good but the after look much better. Very nice reflection.

Sounds like a fun process you went through, very interesting process.

The vehicle is looking really good.

Thank you for sharing.

nice paint and gloss ... thanks for outside pics. Too many garage shots recently and its known to be more reflective in dark garages than outside in a sunny environment.
