I owed my friend Chris a detail for a long time, and his car definitely needed it. Lots of fine swirls, baked on brake dust, etc etc
Process:
-Wash w/Meguiars Gold Class
-Cleaned wheels and tires with Poorboy's Spray & Rinse Wheel Cleaner, Poorboy's Bold 'N Bright on tires
-Spot clayed some areas with Wolfgang Elastic Poly Clay, but it didn't really need it since he clayed it recently
-Compounded some problem areas w/1Z Intensive Paste + 4" LC cutting pad via Porter Cable 7424
-Polished the entire car with Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover 3.0 w/LC light cutting pad via Flex XC3401 VRG
-Polished again with Wolfgang Finishing Glaze 3.0 w/LC green polishing/finishing pad via Flex XC3401 VRG
(got in tight spaces with a 4" polishing pad and the PC 7424 as well)
-Diamondite Glass Restorer w/cutting pad, Diamondite Poli-Shield w/finishing pad...all with Porter Cable 7424
-Wolfgang Fuzion Carnauba Polymer Estate Wax by hand....gave the paint an AWESOME wet glow
I also let Chris take my car out and shoot some pics while I worked on his car.
Swirls
No wax present....poor car
Cleaning wheels
More swirls, before/after
