that color is just awesome! I`m sure they all don`t look that goodWashed off the soap solution they used in the window tinting process. Refreshed Natty`s Blue...
The Camry and S10 got cleaned as well.
What did you do detailing wise today?

dude tried to pop out a dent, then he rubbed the paint with a shoddy micro..unfixable short of wet sanding
i tried to compounding the hell out of it...this will prolly be all the customer sees now :/

Thanks! Honestly it`s full of fillers, that and Natty`s Blue seems to hide imperfections well. The paint is in terrible shape since I got it; don`t know what they did at the dealer. I`ve experimented on the hood and while the swirls went there are some DEEP water spots like something went awry at the factory. The paint is super hard, so I think I`ll be brushing up on my rotary skills again this coming spring.

Detailing Gnosis
I washed the Dakota plus vacuumed out the inside. Interestingly the extension cord that I use for my Metro vac broke...the ground pin came out of the plug.

Been chasin` those fat stacks w/ OT.
Needed some Detail time to unwind and enjoy my
3 day weekend.
Trying to find something comparable to S40 by doing a 2 step on driver`s swirled up doors.
Driver`s got Rupes green,and Carpro Reflect w/ Rupes white pads.
Pass. got Rupes green and Griots Perfecting cream w/ Rupes white pads.
Sealed both doors w/Dodo Supernatural Nano sealant,
Driver got P21S 100% `nuba
Pass. got Dodo Supernatural wax.
Too soon to tell, but Reflect & P21S are standing
proud ! Reflect was a blast, 1 crosshatch done ! Doesn`t need a long working or it dries. Wipe off so easy.
P21S was almost a pain, hard wax that left 1/4 of
the wax stuck in the bottom as it came out of container, needs to warm to apply.
Wipe off was a breeze, then POP ! Dazzling deep luster ! I almost fell off my chair
Had to try this Migliore Frutta wax, so I wiped down the front fender with Dodo SN Micro Prime
Micro Prime smells like Yuck.
I think Migliore has Italian sausage as an ingredient,
smells good and very greasy !

detailed a friend`s new to him 2010 mercedes E350. he bought it from a local dealer and it looked pretty good, but i warned him about the notorious use of glaze. boy was i right, some of the worst top surface etching i`ve ever seen. i ended up using megs 105, car pro essence, and menzerna power lock sealant.

Winter protection for the Jeep!
It really needs a 2 step polish, but with a couple different resprays, not sure if perfection is possible. So, a clay, Meguiars #7, and Poorboys Sealant it was!
Ran out of my old #7 glaze so I had to buy a new bottle. Definitely not the old #7 me and my dad used to use.

Playing with my waxes. 1 more coat each of :
Dodo SN , Really like the user experience, so easy I tend to over apply tho. Def. tub worthy.
Hope it`s as durable as Haze.
P21S 100%, acts like a hard wax, tough to get enough on ap. pad.
So easy after, love how bright & slick.
:lol:

I`ve been watching you grow your business since when you where so happy to just have a shelving unit of your own.
Now you`ll be a YouTube STAR !

I look back and can’t believe how much I have developed. This is my second year in business. Now the shelf isn’t sitting in my room where I have to look at it, I made it fit in the closet ad I’m super happy with it

Yeah it’s still not “shiny” just removed that grey oxidation and water spots. The decals were a bit grey so I used 205 on them and it brought them back. I didn’t make those reflective just got rid of hazy oxidation.

Put optimum gloss Coat on the gf’s new Jetta this weekend. I polished with had speed in June when she first got it. Ran it through a touchless, since I don’t have a hose. I clayed it a couple months ago, ironx’ed it last weekend. So after the touchless did a quick nanoskin and ONR wash.
Polished the front nose with Essence and a uro fiber pad. The sun was heating the paint which made working difficult(wasn’t hot out but the sun was bright), and this pad/polish combo didn’t make a dent in the paint- some slight swirls but nothing major, and Essence was no match for this hard VW paint. So, I skipped the polishing of the rest of the paint and just did a standard gloss Coat application for the rest of the car. Car looks great! GC added gloss, color saturation and the paint looks wet.
