So i just got my PC kit from autogeek on Wednesday, and i detailed my girlfriends best friends car. i did it for her birthday, whats better than a free detail?? nothing! well her car has never been washed before, and likely not vacuumed too well either. It was gross. this is my first detail with a PC and i think i did a good job. heres the pictures!
Process:
Wash and use alot of purple power and 3M wax&tar remover to clean up the exterior. used poorboys spray and rinse on wheels. followed with DP clay. took me 2 hours to get this car ready for buffing.
Buffed with XMT3 orange LC pad.
waxed with pinnacle liquid souveran.
It needs a buff with a lighter duty polish, i was going to use Klasse AIO with a white pad but i ran out of time.
Notice all of the tar on this thing! ive never seen a car so bad! and im a car wash boy at a dealer too!
do you see all of the tar on the bottom side of the door?
heres a picture after wash, tar removal, and clay. wow, it looks 100% better already!
and then here are the pics of it all finished.
There are other pics, but i dont think you guys really want to see a bunch of pictures of a ford escort. my pictures dont really capture the amount of shine i brought back to the car. I could tell that it was oxidized because it had almost no shine at all before i started on it. Also, when i was buffing the roof, the buffed side was nice and white while the unbuffed side was almost a gray color. I was amazed at how easy it is to use a PC! anyone could do it! I couldnt believe the amount of scratches i removed too! i thought only professionals could do that! This car was NASTY and now i think it is pretty respectable. the girl should be really happy with such a nice shiny car!
