Started as a simple wash and turned to much more

My sister has a 2014 Acura TSX, black I might add. This car has some nice body lines. She knows not to run the car through soft touch car washes, so she doesn't wash it. So she asked me to wash it before The wife and I headed back to Tennessee. I brought with me a majority of my arsenal but left behind my Menz polishes.

As I wash washing I noticed the car wash trashed, bug gut baked on, bird droppings with some etching, sap, and some water spots. I would not be happy with leaving with a wash and waxing over it all.

After washing I went to anauto parts store grabbed some White wax and tarminator and went to town.
Products Used:

CG Honeydew 2bm with micro chenille wash pad
Stoners Tarminator and bug sponge
Eagle1 AtoZ for the tires (2 passes)
Durgloss all wheel cleaner with a small wash pad and a wheel whoolie
Meguiars White Wax mixed with Ulrimate Polish applied with HF DA and LC White Flat Pads
M26 applied with LC Blue pad
Megs Hyperdressing 1:1 on tires and wheel wells
M40 on flat plastic on mirrors and between side windows
Eagle1 never-dull wadding polish for all metal surfaces

Sorry not may pics but time was limited as we needed to get on the road. It needs a good two step correction.

The White wax was not giving the results I wanted so I added to 2 drops of UP with 2 drops of White and got acceptable results. I threw on the M26 over top just because it is easy to use and looks good on black paint.
 
For got to add
Nanoskin Blue sponge with ONR clay lube dilution decon
 
Came out 10 times better than just a "wash" she asked you for! Looks great now and it's always personally rewarding to do this stuff for family.

Yeah it is, my family counts on me coming by to clean the cars:laughing:
They don't expect it but appreciate it.

I am going to try and talk her and my father into purchasing coatings for me to apply to their vehicles to help keep them clean going through the touchless. Plus save me time when I do visit to given the cars proper love.

They kind of laugh at my OCD but rally appreciate it.

My brother actually graduated from wyotech and we kind of tag team some stuff. He just bought a 01Jetta that had a repaint. He is wet sanding it now and will do a compound on it then when I come up we will finish out to a pristine finish.

He teaches me his skills in paint and build, and I teach him in finishing to show car standards, rather than production body shop.
