This SUV belongs to one of my good customers mother. It is a couple years old and was in need of a good detail. It had normal light to medium scratches from automated carwashes and from snowbrushes dragged along the paint over the past couple years. Last month, she scraped the drivers side rear quarter panel over the rear wheel well on a wooden deck which transferred paint onto the panel and made a slight dent which I had removed by my local ding man. I was able to wetsand & compound the scratch left behind with 3M microfinishing compound which removed 90% of it.
I have to say, the paint was very nice to work with. There is a lot of paint on this SUV and I thought It was going to take much longer than it did.
My process:
Wash complete exterior
Clean wheels, tires & engine compartment
Clayed with Opti-Clay
Wetsanded & compounded rear quarter panel damage
Buffed complete exterior with IP
Buffed complete exterior with OP
Hand application of Collinite Insulator wax
Topped with Natty's Blue
Dressed tires with Super Blue dressing
Linear Mode
