Camry and a Silverado.

This was a non correctional detail to start with.

Interior:

vacuum
steam
NL to protect
S&G on windows

Afters:





Exterior

wash
clay
Poli Seal 1500 rpm gray 3M pad (removed most swirls except for the deeper stuff)
CG Extreme Top Coat udm gray 3M pad
Optimum Car Wax
Nl on tires

Afters:











==================================================

This detail was interesting because I didn't have anything in my car except for my towels, a can of wax, rotary, flex, and pads while on a trip. I was asked to detail the truck.

No shop was open to get anything decent to purchased, I called an Autopian locally.

He was kind enough to offer some clay and OP.

Thanks Ricardo!!

Process:

Dawn wash
Clay
OP 1500 rpm white lc pad
FK1000 Flex speed 5 finishing pad. (the paint was actually swirl free except some scratches)
No tire Shine

Pictures were taken with a cellphone

At one point the rain started to fall while applying the wax.



All finished

Re: Camry and a Silverado.

Nice job and good work at getting the car finished with what you had. What brand steam cleaner do you have?

Re: Camry and a Silverado.

Once again, nice work!

Hey, I was wondering how to get in contact with you guys to bring out my SHO (it's silver) for a estimate? It's not that bad at all and shouldn't need that much work to be brought back.

I know I won't be getting to do anything with it for a while and I don't have the time to invest in it, so i'll bring it to the real pros to get where it should be.

I can't find a PM button, so when you have some time, shoot me a email:

timwithrow@gmail.com

Thanks!

Re: Camry and a Silverado.

Thank you everyone.

I use a Daimer steamer.


RICARDO - Thanks again man, you saved my a$$. Have you tried the wool pad yet?

I'll come down in about a week or so again. I'll call you.

Timmay - E mail is going.
