Thankfully not really! He cleans it himself and he always dresses everything. Not sure what kind of stuff he used before I got my hands on it(definitely over the counter) . When I first polished it, I only dressed the wells and running boards with PERL, then I gave it a maintenance wash and hit everything with D156 and this last time I only topped the tires with more PERL. I give him a good price, so since I know his vinyl always looks dressed I just leave it alone.

still beading. almost 3rd month. essence. mckee37 coating. reload.

washed with hyper wash and drying aid with fk425
 
Compounded and polished my Grandfather`s new-to-him `14 Impala that had some pretty good scratching and dull looking paint. Last night I got it decon-ed and polished. Today it got some Esclate and 2 layers of Viking Coat. Car looks great and he is thrilled. Monday he turns 84, I`m lucky to have him and it was worth every bit of the sweat and effort to see how happy he was when he saw it.
PS... It was seriously HOT and Humid the last 2 days.
 
Just got done with a wash and wheels detail on a Dodge Avenger for a neighbor. The car right next to it really needs at least a wash but I have no idea who owns it.
 
Polished and recoated the hood on my moms Subaru. The coating failed in just 9 months, noticed it when I was home in March for my grandpa`s funeral.

Today I tried my Pinnacle glass twins, so cleaned then clay toweled windshield, Eraser wipe down, 4in. CGs Green pad with Polish Angel MP, basic cleaning not correcting, went over 2nd try still did not seem right, polish kept flashing over too fast.
Had to use Eraser to remove it everytime. Cleaned it up with the PCC glass cleaner. That was good stuff PCCGC. Sealed 2x with PGS. Loved it !

I could see where I had splatter marks on driver window from me learning what not to do with M105 a year ago. So I didn`t like the PA this time I tried Rupes Diamond & orange pad 2x nothing. PBs #1 & yellow, better. PBs #2 & 3in. Grey Force pad, Bingo. Did back 2 windows, cleaned & sealed. Glad this stuff is not a coating so I can redo soon. While it cured I carefully taped around glass & started on the 2 doors, think thats backwards ? But wanted to try 2 comps. & 2 polishes

Pads worked great, couldnt get in handle, so pulled it off, did by hand.
Both BriteMaxs Promax & Restomax worked great, easy lets you work it, no problems, LC pink CCS then a white CGs Quantum which I want many more of. Love em.

I am ready for a new DA that Torq10 is annoying I kept bumping the small buttons, sometimes off or too high.
The little one TorqX is good though.

Living by you must be like a parade.. just take out a lawn chair and enjoy.
 
Spent a few hours doing a wheels off coating on all the wheels for this 2015 Impala. Tires were coated with 2 coats of DP Tire Coating. Also cleaned the felt wheel well liners with a brush, DP Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner and protected with 303 Fabric Guard.
