2006 Toyota Sequoia, customer wanted it cleaned up for his parents. Nothing major, just a basic detail. Single stage paint that probably hasn't been waxed often, if at all. Budget was enough for an interior detail and a 1 step (polish/sealant combo) for the exterior.
Before
After
Half and half shots-still some swirls but with 1 step in the budget, I focused on getting the shine back and removing as much oxidation as possible.
ONR wash
Clay Magic blue
Optimum G-P-S using an orange Optimum foam waffle cutting pad and Rupes DA
Armor All on tires, wheel wells and trim
================
2014 Porsche Carrera Turbo. Owner purchased it a few months ago for his wife. Yes, she's the gearhead! They'd already had the front end protected with a clear bra but wanted the rest of the paint properly protected so they decided to go with Opti-Coat Pro.
ONR wash
Opti-Raser to spot clay
Meguiars M100 mixed 50/50 with Rupes Keramik Gloss using a Meguiars MF cutting pad and Rupes to polish the bumper
Optimum Primer polish using a yellow Rupes foam polishing pad and Rupes DA to polish the whole car
ONR wipe-down
Optimum Opti-Coat Pro applied to the paint and wheels
Optimum Glass Coating applied to the windshield
Armor All on tires (wheel wells were wiped clean but not dressed)
Hard to pick up the light swirls in the bumper
After
Driveway was half in the sun, half in the shade so we left the car in the garage for pictures. Owner said he'd try to get some in the full sun later in the day.
