For those of you that have had the pleasure of visiting DF homeland you will know about my fondness for a red car ;)



Here's today's detail on arrival:

I washed the paint down using the karcher, used APC on the trims, and then dried off with a towel. Moved it into the garage, completed the PDG readings and started 'testing' the bonnet area for the desired results.

As the bonnet had plenty of paint, and the combo of Megs 80 and a polishing pad was having little effect, I moved onto my Megs DACP and a four inch pad.

Followed this up with the megs 80, then XMT finishing glaze, topped with Megs DC3.

here are the half anf half shots.

I carried on around thre carm using XMT ultra fine swirl remover on the sides and roof, followed with XMT finishing glaze and topped with DC3. Gave the whole car a wipe down with Pinnacle Crystal Mist, plastics with AG bumper care, tyres with Armor All Tire gel, windows cleaned with glass cleaner.



Here's some direct side by side comparison shots before the main after shots, check out the difference in the reflections, door, trees etc:

I am very pleased withb the results in five hours, the owner is too, and I'll be using some of these to update my own site.... :thumb:

Excellent work Finerdetails!!! You truly brought out the inner beauty of that paint! I think all those people who bag on the Meguiars 80 series oughta look at your work and see what a true professional can do with the stuff in the brown bottles!! :hifive: :2thumbs:

You know, I couldn't agree more with that statement!! The Meguiars products, #83 and #80, are hugely underrated, probably just because they have a little bit of a learning curve to them. Used in the correct hands, the produce results as good as any other polish out there on the market today - its all about technique, as FinerDetails proves here! :2thumbs:
