South Florida Detailing
There is a big air cooled Euro meet this weekend in Miami. This is one of two cars I am detailing for the show. This car has single stage paint on it. The White looked great but the blue was oxidized and swirled out. The owner of the car just wanted a 1-step correction because that what was in his budget.

Wash: Megs Deep Crystal mixed with Poor Boys Super Sud
Clay: Pinnacle
Clay lube: Pinnacle
Wheels/Tires: DP Wheel Gel
Polish:M205
Pads: LC Tang. Hydro
LSD: Souveran Paste

Great Job! Awesome looking Beetle.
 
Nice work Shawn! :dblthumb2:


How do you like working on single stage versus clear coat paints?

A lot of our forum members have never worked on a single stage paint. Cool color scheme on that old Bug.

I personally like buffing a single stage paint more. To me it more fun because the difference from when you start to when you finish are more dramtic. They do require a little different techniques but it all fun
