Finished up a detail yesterday for my first repeat customer. I did her Jeep Wrangler back in July and she brought me her daily driver Dodge Dart to clean up and seal yesterday. She admitted to using a bath towel to dry the car which certainly explains the condition of the paint, but said she has since changed her ways since I taught her a few things when we did her Wrangler.
Products/processes:
Chemical Guys Diablo wheel gel on the wheels
Opti-Clean for tires and wheel wells
Rinseless wash w/ UWW+ (first time I've used this.....LOVED it)
Nanoskin fine grade prep towel w/ UWW+ for lube
HD Polish w/ tangerine pad on a Rupes
Opti-Seal on paint/wheels
Armor All in the wheel wells
Chemical Guys VRP on the tires
Before:
A closer look at the paint after wash/decon under the LED lights:
Making some progress. Left some rids behind, but she wasn't paying to chase those. Still looks much better:
Now we're looking better!
And finally a few pictures out in the sun:
Overall it turned out pretty well. For a daily driver it's a pretty nice little car. She was a happy camper when she picked it up and asked for a stack of business cards to pass out to people she knows, so hopefully I'll be picking up some more jobs thanks to her
