Now to the Boston Whaler...


This belongs to one of my most frequent customers. He only wanted the paint polished and brightwork done from the rub rail on up. He has really lost the time to detail unfortunatley. I ended up finding some Zymol Carbon, a bunch of Griot's Products, Collonite, etc in his arsenal. This guy is pretty serious. He didn't want me to wheel it out, so all by hand...

-TOL's Bubbling Suds Wash mixed with some Optimum APC (to remove heavy deposits)
-Collonite Metal Wax on ALL brightwork (user supplied...loved this stuff BTW...gives Flitz a run for its money)
-Klasse AIO on all smooth fiberglass by hand
-Collonite Fleetwax by hand on everything (user supplied)
-Poorboy's Trim Restorer on rub rail

And their little Yorky...He needed to be walked when nobody was home so I brought him out. Quite the little personality in this one. Say hello to "Fred".

The owner admiring ;)



Enjoy!
 
Looks great! What is megs #66 never heard of it! Also on the rocker panels of the CLK how did you get all the tar and gunk off from the first pic to the second? Looks great, did you use the goof-off ( btw is that the same on goo-gone) Thanks,

andrew
 
Andrew:

#66 is Quick Detailer. Its a cleaner, polish, and wax in one. Thin consistency, super wet, super slick.

Goof-Off is the more solventy cleaner. I used it on the lower panels. It takes stuff off with ease, just be very careful with it and always follow with a mild cleaner.
 
You can recommend #66 then, I was thinking about getting some for quicky details (I guess that's what it's designed for) but I wasn't sure how well it worked.
 
Thanks for the kind words, and the great job Sean.

I just want to be sure everyone knows that the lazy, wanna be hippy almost asleep in the shade isnt me, its my college bound nephew, who likes working so much, nothing makes him happier than lying around watching someone else do it.... :lmfao
 
Nice work, Sean. :bigups
That Honda has a rust problem eh? Its common spot for all 90's CB.
.....And dang those ricer lights needed to remove :D :rolling
 
Focusedonsound,

Believe it or not, there is nothing on the gas tank. I mean really nothing....The Mach is almost 2 years old and only has 5K miles.....It has never been driven in the rain, snow, etc. I just hose the undercarriage when it gets dusty.

But you've just given me an idea.....Thanks. I may try that next time I Flitz the pipes...

Geez, if only someone would take it that easy on me......
 
No flames for the Honda Pic, that's very minor compared to the quarter panel rust on my CRX, I'm currently in the process of rebuilding the rear fenders. I've already cut out the old rusty ones and am waiting on some sheet metal so that I can get to work.
 
Thanks everyone.


I really like #66. I can work it in the sun just fine. It cuts pretty decently, leaves a super slick surface, and has a nice wet-look to it. I use it pretty often on the "Full Detail" which doesn't include clay or heavy polishing.
