I placed a very healthy order a while back, and I have finally gotten around to doing some work... This is the wolfgang line, swirl remover, finishing glaze, then paint sealant, followed up with pinnacle wax...
These first shots are from a while back, I got started one day and had to stop that evening on account of my girl getting into a car accident...
First, some shots of what I bought.
some before shots. notice the fine scratches and "swirls" from washing and normal wear.
camera phone pic, just after clay and swirl remover
after clay, swirl remover, and finishing glaze..
camera phone pic, but you can still see the mirror finish in it!!!
notice the reflection of the windshield frame, even at night...
and this pic is just kinda cool...
so, I still haven't had the chance to get a coat of wax on it, but it still so smooth if you toss a micro fiber towel on the hood, it slides right across it and off the other side of the hood. The water beads up beautifully, and I used a windshield polishing kit after a clay bar and then treated it with rain -x , and it got some of the sparkle pitts out of the glass, but not all of them, and I also used some stuff called black wow on the plastic ( no pics of it ) and I will need to post up some shots of how that looks. Good stuff, a little drop goes a long way and the black plastic looks shiny, but not sticky shiny , if you know what I mean, I guess...
So,this starts the work form this past monday and tuesday
In the past two days I have done some work. In addition to adding my batteries yesterday, I started on the outside getting it ready for a full day of polishing and waxing today...
I started early this morning by putting up the canopy and taping off all the plastic, then I used a clay bar over the whole truck. I didnt really need to use the swirl remover after doing it a while back, so I went straight to the finishing glaze using the buffer. Next I applied the paint sealant with the buffer, and although you are supposed to wait at least ten hours for the sealant to cure, I have read that it wouldnt hurt if wax was going on right after. So I also used my pinnacle wax and let it dry in real good, removed it, and then went over the whole truck with pinnacle quick detailer to get any wax that I missed with the micro fiber towels... I think It looks pretty damn clean
this was after the finishing glaze and sealant..
And after the waxing the quick detailer , and the tape was taken off...
