Hey everyone,
This past Tuesday I was finally able to get to finishing up this car for my friend.I showed up at his house at 0830 hrs and finished at 1630hrs. I started the detail with a good hosing down to get any loose dirt from the finish, then I did a presoak of the lower 18 inches of the entire car with Meg's Safe Degreaser at a 10:1 ratio with a foaming spray head to help loosen up the road grime on the car.The car was washed with Meg's Hyper Wash, grit guard, and a new wash mit. The wheels got Meg's Wheel Brightener at a 3:1 ratio. Tires and wheel wells got super Degreaser at about a 7:1 ratio also with a foaming spray head. Before I pulled it into the garage I sprayed the wells with Meg's Water Based Dressing to bring the shine back to them. I clayed the entire car with Meg's Detailer Line Mild Clay(blue) with Last Touch cut 50/50 for lube. After claying the paint I polished it with the g-100, #80 (speed glaze), and a few 8006 pads at speed 5. The LSP of choice that day was Meg's #26 x2 for that liguid black end result. Tires and lower body trim got Meg's All Season Dressing. It was applied twice to the tires since it has been a while since they had any dressing put on them. WIndows were cleaned with Meg's detailer line glass cleaner in the spray can and the interior got a good vacuuming.Here are my before and after shots of the car. I hope everyone like the end result as much as the owners did.
Befores:
All washed up and ready for the clay and polishing.
What this? Red coming off on a black car. What could it be? Thats right the owners wife spray painted baskets in the garage with the car in the driveway. The entire front end of the car was covered in red overspray and it took me 3 times with the clay to get it all off the car.
Afters:
A final full on reflection shot.
As I said before I hope everyone like the results.
