As in my thread last week, where I washed and waxed 10 cars at a local shop, this was part 2 of that event. this time a more diverse group of cars (though still majority WRX/STi's).
These 9 took me longer than the 10 last week, but I think it's because I have been detailing alot of WRX's for 2+ years now, I know the ins and outs of them and the quick way to do them. I've yet to do a RSX, MR2 Sypder or SC300.
All cars got washed with armor all shampoo, and a coat of NXT applied with a PC and grey finishing pad on 3. Tires got a Mothers tire gel that I had to get last minute cuz I forgot to pick up more HotShine.
The MR2 Spyder and the Black WRX were both heavily swirled. I really worked the NXT in a little bit more than the MR2, and I was amazed at just how many swirls/scratches it filled in. I didn't snap any before pics of the swirls, but I would say 70-75% of them got filled in by NXT. . .amazing!
Like I posted in that thread, I got another job for tomorrow night from a friend of the shops who was there and inquired about a more intense detail on a Nissan FX35/45. And another friend of his wants me to tackle his faded red Prelude (I told him about my MR2's transformation and I sent him the URL's to those pics and it's gonna be a $300 detail in the spring!)
The FX pics will be posted tomorrow of Wed. . .

ps- on a side note, after the pain in my legs last week, I went to Sears an picked up a crasftmen scooter chair (on caster with an adjustable height) and it made the job soooo much easier on my back and legs than last week. Best $30 I've spent on detailing supplies since the PC. . .
