Had a pretty bad detail this weekend.

process;

Adams Wash
Pinnacle Clay using new wash water
SSR2.5 with LC Orange Pad on a PC
SSR1 With LC White Pad on a PC
2 Coats of Zaino by hand
Adams QD

After I washed the car, I began to clay the paint. I have never felt a finish like this before. It is a 1998 Altima and I serriously think the car has never been clayed. As I was claying the trunk (which looked like that red seasoning salt was sprinkled all over it) the suds i was using as lube was turning red. Just thought I would post pics as I have never seen this before.

Not sure if the finish is just getting old, or if it's just more difficult to get Silver to reflect. I did see a HUGE difference in the shine and brightness of the finish.

Finished

LOL, hummmm..... some guy I saw walking down the street and asked him to snap a few LOL. Oh yeah, I'm big boned

Thanks guys. Yeah it came out pretty good, I guess I'm just used to the darker colors that give a mirror like reflection. never saw the fall out that bad on any car.

very nice work - the owner should be very happy

Thanks guys!! The owner is very happy with the way her car looks now. She can't believe "how soft it feels" She said she has never had anyone do a full detail on it. She would take it to the car wash and have them wax it twice a year.

Thats the difference between a wash and wax and getting the car detailed.

Nice job :bigups:

Not to tak us too far O/T, but you can show a customer and it is rather simple.
Just keep a few 50/50 pics in an album and do 1 small spot with clay. This way they can see and feel the difference. They may not always wanna pay, but least they know what to expect.
