My 2nd detail with PC. 56K warning

[Richard's Detailing]

My brother's Infinit QX56. Car washed once every 2 months. Front bumper has dents and scratches from when he hit a pole and deer. Doesn't want to get it fixed yet because where they live, deers are always crossing the road.

It took me 6 hours to do the outside. Mostly because of the grass flies (good thing they were'nt mosquitos) kept flying all over my head and I had to keep swatting them away.

The final outdoor shots are in my brother's camera. I will post them once I get a hold of them.

PB SSR 2.5 with an orange pad.
PB SSR 1 with white pad
PB Polish WC
PB EX sealant
Nattys Blue

I also clayed the entire car, claying the rear bumper last.

I didn't get a chance to take a picture after sealant and natty blue.

Overall my brother was happy with the results. I also taught him how to properly wash and dry the truck to maintain the shine.

Hey Steve do you think he could have skipped a step by using PWS and the natty's instead of PWC?

Or would you still recommend the EX over PWS

Oh and nice job by the way,my truck is pretty much the same color

all for only $100! i better be a great brother!!! he better pay me regular price next time.

Next up is a 2000 Audi S4. It's black and pretty much garage kept. Although the onwer told me that it hasn't been detailed and there are swirls all over the car.

Any advice on how I should approach this one?

I have 2 yellow pads, 3 gray pads and 3 orange pads.
SSR 1, SSR 2 and SSR 2.5

I also bought 2 Polish w/ carnuaba from you Steve, 1 is blue and the other one is light colored. Which one should I use? Thanks!

Audi paint is usually known to be hard ... i would go with the SSR2.5 and orange pad to start if swirls are easily seen ...

PwC blue for black ...or basically the same process as your brothers Infinity
