I polished this one back in March. One of the rear bumper covers got scratched pretty good, so the client took it in to have the small cover repainted. He told them "DO NOT WASH THE CAR!"

Well they washed it and the clients careful washes did not matter anymore.

The swirls where "minimal" but enough for the client to call me back out.

Sorry for the lack of before pics.



Process:
QEW wash.
Claying not needed.
Wipedown w straight IPA.
KBM via M105/orange/PC6 on a few deeper RIDS.
KBM via M205/White/PC6 on the rest.
KBM via M205/Black/PC6

Wheels cleaned with Valu-gard custom wheels cleaner and various brushes.
Tires/wells cleaned with ARO 1:3 water
Foamed w/ Z7 and cleaned with sheepskin mitt and 2BM.

2x of ZFX'd Z5pro, followed by Z8.
Tires got Z-16.

Vac interior.

Foam with Z7

Thanks David!

Of course the body shop told the client, "We handle hundreds of cars like yours every year and have never had this problem."

Welcome to the world of educated clients Mr bodyshop owner.

The car looks fantastic. KBM is working great for ya. Good to see M205 finishes out nicely with a black pad a nd PC. What pads are you using? I have to reinvest in pads as all mine are 4" pads and from what I gather KBM needs bigger pads

Great job...I love to see swirl free black cars in the sun

Thanks guys!

I use the Lake country classic flat 6.5" in orange and black for the KBM. Sometimes I use the white too.
