Here is todays car all polished out and ready for delivery. LSP was M21 applied on speed 3 with my PC and W-9006 polishing pad.
Prep:
Washed with QEW
APC 4:1 for convertible top and engine bay
Meguiar's Clay Bar from Quik Clay system
Blue and green painters tape
Newspaper
Polishing:
Process was RB/W-8006 M80 followed by PC/W-8006 M80
The paint was relatively soft and easy to work with. After the paint was cleaned off, the remaining QEW was applied with a soft body brush to wipe down the wheels. Used bare hands to wipe brake dust off inside of wheels using bug sprayer to flush then wiped down rotors with MF towel.
Dressing:
Hyperdressing
Endurance High Gloss (Tires)
Trim Detailer Spray
Wax:
2 coats of M21
Total working time: 8 hours.
This is a shot of it fully completed--just to whet your appetite for what's to come!
Ok, so you arrive on site to polish out a car. The sun is overwhelming, so you whip out your EZ UP and struggle to get it open. Would be great to have somebody holding one of the legs so you can pull it open. Hmmm, what if I could use my trailer as a stooge? I'll attach a bungee cord to the convenient hole in the bottom of the leg, and attach the other end to the frame of my trailer. Now I can pull the opposite leg and unfold it!
You can close it in the same manner. Having a trailer is great! Provides advertising when you are parked and while driving to and from a customers location. It also gets your detailing equipment and chemicals outside of the car. If you've got any portable lights, these tend to attract moths and other bugs, and leaving them on the trailer means no unwelcome pests inside your car.
My location. Setting up the EZ UP. Notice the leg closest to the trailer.
With the paint thoroughly cleaned of dust and debris, performing an accurate inspection was much easier. I saw these scuff marks and pointed it out to the customer who had no idea where they came from.
There were visible swirls throughout the paint. With such a light colored paint, that swirls weren't bad, but they could certainly be improved.
Swirls!
Scuff near the door handle.
Engine bay wasn't filthy, but it was dusty and all the plastic and rubber could be dressed to make it look even better.
