Thumbs up 2000 Corolla after 7 hours...

Hi All,

Here's the 2000 white Corolla I had detailed today. The Corolla was really in bad shape. Forget about the swirls, this Corolla was chalky by touch and no gloss what so ever. The results after 7 hours is below. First, here are the steps I took to achieve the Autopia look.

1. Car Wash with NXT Car Shampoo.
2. Clayed with ClearKote Clay with Poorboy's Spray & Wipe
3. Car Wash with NXT Car Shampoo.
4. Removed heavy oxidation with Makita 9227 rotary w/ 8 1/2" white LC CE pad using DACP. The Makita is the bomb! It really does save a lot of time.
5. Removed heavy oxidation with PC 7336 w/ 6 1/2" yellow LC pad with DACP for those hard to reach areas where the rotary would not reach.
6. Used PC 7336 w/ 6 1/2" white LC pad with Poorboy's SSR1 to bring back gloss.
7. Applied 1x AIO by hand.
8. Applied 1x SG by hand.
9. Top it off with Natty's Paste Wax by hand.
10. Dressed the tires with Poorboy's BNB and buffed off with yellow foam applicator pad
11. Vacuum interior with Rigid Wet/Dry vac.
12. Cleaned and dressed interior with Poorboy's Natural Look

Then I called it a day. Damn, I'm exhausted.

I could only get the after pics. Because when I first started, it was slightly overcast so the pics wouldn't have come out the way I wanted.

*Edit*

Seven (7) pics to follow....

Looks great. How's the learning curve on the new Makita? Thinking about getting one for myself.
