Flawless Image gives a new life to an 07' Trailblazer!

steps should have been:
wash
clay
spot wetsand
compound - 105
heavy polish - sip
light polish - 106
sealant - 845
wax - nuba

product choice are what I would have used, but substitute for your own...

There is no way you can possibly go from something like a heavy compound to a wax! I have fixed many cars for people whose previous detailer tried...the results were night and day!!!

IPA wipedowns are the basics, no such thing as a pro detailer that doesn't know what they are.

I would love to see some current pics after everything has washed off that detail there. Sometimes people are too nice about things. But frankly the only way you're going to learn is if someone actually tells you what you did wrong. Why on earth would you put sealant on top of wax? Sealant touches the paint.. Wax tops everything. Can't switch that up no matter how much you want it to work. (for the very reasons already stated) You used fillers. So for the moment it looked very nice. However like all hack shops and volume guys once the fillers go bye bye so does that nice finish. Never be afraid to fail once in awhile. We all do it. Don't get defensive about it... learn from it and make yourself better. I really don't expect you to know everything at 5 months. You shouldn't assume you do. But do some basic research and figure out what the proper steps to take are and WHY they are in the order they are Obviously both parties in this were happy (if even for just the moment) But you did it wrong and it's been pointed out to you by a lot of top guys already as to what and why. Get it down because I garuntee you do that to a high end exotic or special car and your insurence had better be up to date big time.

and i do appreciate the advice jake.. i have since switched up my steps. i admit that i was wrong with the sealant after the wax. I was mis informed by someone but was corrected on this site. I am always up to learn!
