hey guys, it's been a little while since i've posted an ol' click and brag but, im back! ill have a couple more coming, too. todays detail was an 02 cavalier that was wrecked back in 02 and had the front half repainted; front fenders, hood and bumper. got paid to remove the oxidation on fenders and hood. i started with 5.5" low profile orange and pb ssr2.5 on pc speed 6. made a noticeable difference but didn't cut it. i stepped up to menz power gloss on low profile 5.5" orange. worked great. started to finish up with 106ff on 5.5 inch white, but it wasn't playing nicely with the PC so i switched to obsessive detail light polish. i finished up with opti seal cuz we were running out of time, and the car obviously sees a little neglect. with more time i would have sold an interior shampoo cuz there was some stains. also i would have done a light polish on the rest of the car. no oxidation, but still could have used it.
note: the the paint was just drinking up the polish. the PG barely dusted and IIRC it has a reputation to dust hard. maybe it had something to do with the oxidation? i had 2 orange pads i kept cleaning and switching around during the detail.
complete process was:
wash:
2bm gold class and dawn
meg's white, clay magic blue
dry, yellow vroom
polish:
menz pg 2 passes 3x where needed
IPA wipe down
od light polish 1 pass
lsp:
optimum opti-seal
meg's uqd wipe down
interior:
quick vacuum
meg's glass cleaner (windows were filthy)
the uqd wipe down removed blotches from the OS and darkened the paint slightly
comments and criticism welcomed.
Before:
During:
testing grounds, 1 pass ssr2.5
same pass, different shot
