Been awhile since I last did a car, so I started off todays nice weather with my own car, which has been through a lot of nasty weather since it was last detailed in August. Being single stage white (AKA extremely hard), I didn`t care to get all the marring out, just cared mostly about all the fallout that turned my paint grey. Also did the engine bay, cus that was getting pretty filthy as well.



Process:

Exterior:

Wash

Clay

Hi Temp Extreme Cut on a white polishing pad via rotary (rotary on a rotary kekeke, oh I crack myself up sometimes..)

Klasse SG as my sealant



Wheels were polished by hand with Nano



Engine Bay:

60/40 degreaser split

303 as my dressing of choice



Now onto the pics!



Befores:

Old dealer logo I took off last week, you can see how much colour difference there is here.
