This vehicle was purchased last night. It still had the plastic in the floors! The Hummer I did last week got traded in for this jewel. She immediately wanted me to take and give the full pamplered treatment.

Here`s the process....

DP`s Mild Swirl Eliminator

(EDGE 2000 Green Med. Cut Pad)



DP`s Final Finishing Polish

(EDGE 2000 Orange Polishing Pad)



DP`s Max Wax

(Applied and removed by hand...2 coats)



Let this be my full DP (Detailer`s Pride) review. I`ve been using Max Wax with great results and the rest of the line up proves the same. DP`s MSE was easy to use and removed the fine towelling swirls left by the dealer. Very minimal dusting and a little goes a long way. Next, DP`s FFP, gave the finish nice depth and glow. The customer told me she didn`t even know it was a metallic paint! Finished it off with 2 nice coats of the Max Wax. Once again, I know why this is my new go-to wax.

In all, I was very pleased with the DP line.

It looks great, but ugh, I hate that leather with passion.

Hate it too. You have to be so carefull when vacuuming it. I use a long-haired vac brush. The whole vehicle smells like a saddle to me!

The owners should have you wash it regularly so it can remain swirl free. :)

You will not be displeased. Remember, less is more. Doesn`t take alot to get good results. Hit your pad with a QD spritz too. You`re gonna want to top the glaze with something carnauba also.

It`s on a bi-weekly regimen now! Thank the lord.

It might be the first to get the ONR treatment. Just ordered a gallon.
