05 Honda Accor and dodge durango

[NCZ13]

so this first one is my best friends moms car, who i did as a favor, 1 for the experience, and 2 shes been feeding me meals and given me a place to sleep whenever i want. shes like a second mom almost. there was more marring then there was swirls.

Process

wash w/ TW ice w/ wool mitt

clay

pinnacle XMT #3 with UDM

pinnacle XMT #2 with UDM

Meguiars #7 show car glaze

sealed with Megs #83 sealant



here are teh piiics

i didnt really take any good befores, so alot of these are durings and afters

and on to the durango

this was an actual job. it was also a mom of one of our friend, but she actually paid us. my friend quoted her with out consulting me first, and i feel we were severely underpaid for what i did. my friend does all the interior work, and did a great job at that too on this job. 140 dollars split by 2 people is not alot of money. especially for the work i put in. since the pay was low, i only did light paint correction.



process

Wash with TW ICE via wool mitt

clay

Polish with Megs dual action cleaner polish via orange CCS pad

Washed again in the same way ( i didnt realize that cleaner polish dusts so much. that was such a pain)

sealed via Megs #83

tires dressed w/ Megs Hot Shin

Engine bay wipedown

Interior Vaccumed

dash QD'd with Megs Interior QD

Head and Taliights polished with PlastX

Excellent work you two. Both cars look awesome. Very nice correction on the Durango.

Looks good! swirl correction on the durango was great! If im not mistaken the megs 83 is your da cleaner/polish, which isnt going to give you any protection. Im thinking your referring to the megs 20 or 21 as your sealant. Also, for future details, purchase some cheap tire shine and spray in those wheel wells!

 

[NCZ13]

^ yeah i must have the numbers screwed up.



whats funny was that we washed the car again, because i asked my friend to hit ht wheel wells while he was cleaning the wheels. that didnt happen. i washed the wheel wells on the 2nd wash and i cant believe i forgot to dress them.

thanks for the compliments. im just starting out with machine polishing. im still learning when the polish has completely broken down and all that.

yea #83 is DACP. Sounds like you used #20 or #21. Look nice though.
