Process:



Start time 8:55 a.m.



Wash

Claybar

Polish w/ Yellow pad and Klasse AIO

Polish w/ White pad and Sonus SFX-2

Hand apply Zaino Z2 Polish and let sit for 3 hours

NXT wax



End time 5ish p.m.





My first time with a PC, I am very impressed. I charged $125 for everything above, is that about right?

Excellent job!!! Looks very good!



Would you not want to use AIO after a polish, then zaino?



Why did you wait so long after applying zaino to remove it? Even without ZFX or Z1 should it really take that long to cure?



So if you had 5 acutal hours into the detail $125 is not bad. But for those results you should be looking at atleast $150-175 IMO.

For a first time PC user...Wow is all I can say :clap:

I have never heard of someone using Klasse AIO with a yellow pad..but from the looks of it it seemed to do no harm. Great job on the detail...I agree with gmblack3a however, while $125 is good you could have easily gotten $150. Hope to see some more of your work

Car looks great :cool:



Your procedure is a bit different than the "norm" - *I* probably would have gone with SFX 2 with a light cutting or polishing pad, followed by AIO with a polishing pad, and either Zaino or NXT (both sealants, not necessarily a need for both).



Nonetheless, it turned out beautiful.

nice work, but you may have quite possible removed part of the zaino by applying nxt as it has "cleaning properties"

Those sure don`t look like 11 second tires(last pic)



SFX-2 is a swirl remover and AIO is a paint cleaner. Normally one would use SFX with the more aggressive pad, and AIO with the polishing pad. The AIO preps the surface for Zaino. Your results look great for a first time detail. Did you get $125 for just the exterior? If so then you made out decent. I agree for the results and process/materials you could easily get more $$$ Good job!
