This is the 10th detail I have done so far, and I finally feel comfortable enough to post up here for you guys to see my results. I am currently only doing exterior jobs untill I get some good interior hardware, so this also was exterior only. I have been learning so much doing this and this job was no exception. Every one of my jobs so far has been better then the last, and figuring that would happen, I did my cars first and they even turned out good.
This is a 2003 Ford Escape, 50,000 miles! This looked worse then the 2003 Bonneville I bought last year with 125,000 miles on it:soscared:
I tried SIP with an LC CCS orange pad and it just didn't cut it. I didn't have anything else, and I didn't have the time to order something online and wait for shipping. SO, I picked up some Meguiar's #4 locally. Not sure what anyone thinks of it, but it is all I could find quickly and it worked good.
Two bucket wash with Meg's Gold Class car wash and grout sponge
Mothers clay bar
Meg's #4 with orange Wolfgang & UDM
SIP with LC CCS orange pad & UDM
Menzerna Micro Polish with LC CCS white pad & UDM
IPA wipedown
Meg's # 21 V 2.0 with LC CCS black pad, removed with LC CCS blue pad
Wheels and tires
cleaned with DP gel wheel cleaner
Meg's Gold Class Endurance tire shine
rims got treated with Meg's #21
Looking for constructive criticism and comments. I know the wheel wells need more work, but that is as good as I could get them with only the car wash soap and no dressing.
I want to know what you vets think of a noobs detail job:cooleek:
