Well, this weekend I started to detail a few cars. I still have 4 other cars/trucks I need to finish this week as well, and they are in pretty bad shape. What a time to start! Well the Xterra is done, but it is in storage now because it is up for sale. I need to get pics of that. It just came from a cross country trip, and had been sitting in New York for 4 months before that. It was really dirty. It's silver though, so it's not as noticeable.
The 350Z(02') is my best friend's car, and I have been deatiling it for a while so, it wasn't in bad shape. Need to go touch up some stuff, so I should have pics of that later. His headlights had noticeable buildup up so I cleaned them up for him as well. This is an old pic, as he has a different front bumper and hood now, but you get the idea. It is usually clean.
Now the TL(05' I think), OMG (^ his wife's car). This car was bad. Worst I have ever seen. I started doing these cars at 6pm, and ended at 4am because the TL kicked my ass through the night. I need to go finish the back half of it tonight. On to the couple of pics I did take before/during. Will update when I get the cars finished completely though.
After a few hours on the front end of the TL
On the TL I used SSR 2.5 with orange CCS pad, then SSR1 with white pad. I tried some XMT finishing glaze, but I didn't notice much of a difference. Then I topped it all with the Pinnacle Sig SeriesII wax.
I really think I needed SSR3 for this car, or some heavy compound or something. I got most of the scractches out, but there are some small ones that will drive me insanse if I keep trying to chase them.
The Z was just a wash, and quick wax with Liquid Souveran as I just did the car last week completely.
The Xterra was a wash, and interior cleaning. Also used Megs Silicone Free Dressing on most of the plastic pieces (which is about half the car haha), and it made a nice difference. I am going to try some other stuff I saw reccomended on here last week as well. I only used SSR1, and then topped it with some Klasse Sealant.
