This was todays job, at the same place as yesterday for another protection detail, the owner didnt want paint correction and to be honest, once washed and dried i couldnt really see many defects at all for a car that is coming up for 3 years old, which was very surprising, but a nice change :)



Couple of before pics to give you an idea of what it was like when i arrived:

Process:





Wash:



- Foamed with AB Foam Lance and Meguiars Hyper Wash

- Rinsed at high pressure

- Foamed again and then washed with TBM & Meguiars Shampoo Plus

- Wheels cleaned with Meguiars WB (4:1), MF Mitt and Wheel Brush.

- Arches - Meguiars APC

- T&G Remover on lower half of car, tailgate and back bumper (very little tar for a car a couple of years old!)

- Rinsed again

- Dried with PB Waffle weave



Polish:



- Jeffs Werkstatt Acrylic Prime & Meguiars Polishing Pad @ Speed 1

- Jeffs Werkstatt Acrylic Jett by hand

- Windows - Zymol HD Cleanse

- Exhaust tips - Blackfire Fine Cut Metal Polish

- Arches - Meguiars All Season Dressing

- Tyres - Blackfire Long Lasting Tyre Gel

- Wheels - PB Wheel Sealant





Afters, unfortunately all inside due to the rain :rolleyes: :

Not this time mate as the car was very smooth on top and the Tar&Glue remover did a very good job on the lower halfs :)

Excellent! Don`t you love those easy two step jobs? Not as good money-wise but after a lot of tough jobs, I bet you kind of enjoyed these last two you`ve done. :)



BTW, Prime seems to work best for me when applied and worked lightly into the paint via PC on 5.

Thanks for the tip Scott, we`ve played around alot with the prime and found that on speed 5 it dried up too much, doing it at the speed we do now results in almost one clean buff off with a MF :)



and yes i do love those easy 2 step jobs now and again! :D
