When it`s raining, I take it as a sign to go and cultivate more business.

I did this last week and picked up this ride. The owner has a local cabin rental agency that is top notch here in the mountain. She has 10 employees and several company vehicles so I had to do this one right! This is her baby and I was told that if she is letting me touch it, she must really like me!

Here`s what this one got....



Meguiar`s NXT Car Wash

(Added 2 teaspoons of Dawn to aid cleaning.)

(Clayed while washing.)



Optimum Compound

(E2K Green pad set at #6)

Used this and loved it. Only have to use very little and work time is forever. I had no dusting and it removed alot of imperfections. Came of super easy too. Also used it to polish out the head lights....were both starting to haze.



Meguiar`s #80

(E2K Orange pad set at #5)

Used this more as a polish this time than to cut with. Filled what scratches and swirls that were left. Some where really deep. I really like this pad for this. Very smoothe and linear. I moved alot fast than using it for cutting too. Gave nice depth in my opinion.



Poorboy`s EX-P

(E2K White pad set at #3)

I had a sample of this sent to me and decided to try it out on this one. Was thinner than I expected and smelled like coconut. Went on smooth. Only need a little to go a long ways here. Came off so easy. Gave a wet, shell like coat that made this black mirror-like.



Other Products used:

FK1 Protectant

(Under hood, wheel wells, and on all plastic and leather)

Meguiar`s APC

(Used on carpets, mats, wheels and tires. Mixed 4:1)

Woolite 8:1

(Used to clean leather)

Armor All Tire Gel

(Used on tires)

Stoner`s Invisible Glass

Nice work! For some reason, as much as so many peeps hate those coupes, I absolutely love em! Especially the M`s with the aggresive fenders! I always wanted one and all my friends though I was nuts! They are different that`s for sure!

:D. I took about 35 flash shots today to test my work since it was soo cloudy. The flash is a pretty powerful light :).

I agree! I love the "M Coupe". With a Dinan intake/exhaust, that sucker roars, and looks damn good doing it!

This is her baby and I was told that if she is letting me touch it, she must really like me!



If this is the way she treated her baby then I`m glad she isn`t my mama!! :chuckle:



Nice turnaround Justin!!!
