Look what I had a chance to work on this PM

I put out some flyers last friday in a nice neighborhood with the help of my girlfriend. Yesterday I got an e mail from a woman that wanted a full detail. I called her this afternoon to see if I could take a look since she isn't that far away from my house. She asked me if I would do it today instead - I said YES!!

This is what I see.

It is a 1997.



I really don't mind working on trashed cars, but when you have to hurry up too!....

Her husband was coming home and I guess she didn't feel compfortable me being there so I had to hurry up. Naturally I couldn't do the job I wanted to do.

I have to go back tomorrow to do the interior.



This picture doesn't show how bad the hood was. In fact the whole car was swirled up to the max.



Washed/clayed
started with the trunk.
ssr 2.5 with yellow pad (ok)
ssr 3 with yellow pad much better
#80 white pad - looked better but wasn't all gone.

rest of the car ssr 2.5 with white pad which left a nice finish, so to save time: 1 - I couldn work the product in so instead of going super slow, I went a little faster.and
2 - I went right to NXT tech wax.

the hood received additional work as well, but again I had to compromise. Out of the sun the paint looked good She liked it at least.

I will take after pictures tomorrow.

The top received a coat of 303 while the tires got AA.

I can't wait to get my Makita guys - 2 more days!!!!!

To work out this kind of finish with the pc... it takes me too long.

- and the finish isn't even satisfactory!! Not to me at least. And it wouldn't to you either.

Let's see what it looks like tomorrow.
