I`ve just landed a deal to do 6 agents with a local Coldwell Bankers agency. This one of the top agents SUV`s. It has 100k+ on it but was fairly clean on the inside. This one also gave me a chance to try out and review 2 of the new Collinite product that I recieved. Her and I both were pleased with the outcome.
Here`s what it got....
Detail Date:
10/13/2006
Start Time:
9:00AM
Finish Time:
3:00PM
Price:
300.00
Washed with Meguiar`s NXT Car Wash
(Used Wash ShMitt.....now 2 months old and used on 70+ vehicles)
Collinite`s No. 840
Pre-Wax Cleaner
(EDGE2K Experimental Soft Yellow Pad at a #5 PC setting)
Since the paint was white and the customer didn`t want a full swirl removal, I decided to use this pre-wax cleaner. The smell was of a chemical and the feel was not gritty at all. This led me to believe that this product works chemically instead of abrasively. This turned out to be true. I removed every contaminent that there was on the paint. Tar, bugs, and oxidation came off. It took some time but worked. I might could have used a more aggressive pad but I didn`t want to take to much time. Went on easy and came off just as. The sun made it a tad hard to remove on certain areas. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a127/justin30513/2003%20GMC%20Yukon/after/DETAILING082506015.jpg
Collinite`s No. 845
Insulator Wax
(EDGE2K Blue "Wave" Finishing Pad at a #3 PC setting)
The customer is going to have me clean this vehicle every week so it made for the perfect candidate for a durability test. We have all heard of 845`s long lasting shell so we all gonna find out! You MUST put this on thin. I put the hood`s coat on to thick and was hard to take off.....yet another trait of this wax. Smell was chemically and felt oily but what do you expect for a wax made for the long haul? I did the whole ride and let haze for 15 minutes. Came off easy by hand and left an unexpected shine! Depth was nice too. If holds up to it`s legend, this might be a hit. Looks were above my expectations. AutoGeek has done good here bringing a legend aboard.
