While detailing a Lotus Elise a while back, the owner of this F-150 came along and asked to have his truck detailed. He never called me back when I gave him my card. But, recently, when I went back to detail the same Elise again, this guy came along and this time the sale was executed. Here was the process:
-wash
-clay bar
-OHC and edge 2000 orange foam via metabo rotary (I used the "Zenith"??? technique I recently read from a forum member, thank-you forum member. It suggests a gradual increase then decrease of rotary rpm's between 600rpm's and a max rpm, about 1800rpm for this truck I believe). It's supposed to help break-down the polish better and create less surface imperfections to clean-up. It took longer to do but I feel it worked well. I broke down the optimum polish really well with this technique
-OP via pc and edge 2000 Green foam pad
-PS via pc and edge 2000 blue foam pad
-OS
-Collinite 476S for protection, as the owner wanted max protection
-wheel wells cleaned with PB bug squash and dressed with AA tire foam
-bleach white cleaned the tire's, black magic tire wet dressed them
Here are the before pictures...it looked good after a wash and clay bar, right??? WRONG!
During...passenger's side polished, driver's side untouched:
Passenger's side hood polished, side panel not
Hood polished, side not
Paint complete:
Me, taking the picture into the paint, and the best detailing partner and friend!
Walking away saying goodbye:
