This brought back a lot of painful memories of the last RR I did in Malibu a while back!

The owner has had the neighborhood "possie" wash this quite a few times I believe. It took me some time to find a combo on this. I started with Optim Compound and an Orange pad, which did a fairly good job, but I wanted to play with some products and pad combos this time and Im happy I did. Albeit 7 hrs later, about a 1/2 dozens various combos, I settled with the 1Z twins, Paint Polish and Metallic Polish. This was the first real thorough go around and test I have had with 1Z. All I can say is wow, is this stuff heavily underrated. I also used UPP to seal, FS Ult Tire Gel on trim, One Grand EVR for tires, FS White Lightning for wheels, Charliesoap for interior cleaning.

Some before and afters:

Hey Patrick,



What pads and speeds did you use for the 1Z? Are you going to start carrying that product line?

NO! I screwed up! I forgot the interior pics as well as the "after" wheels pic! I dont normally spend 7 hrs detailing 1 car, but those RR`s are amazing. Theres nothing "domestic" about them, and they are very tight quartered. Vacuuming the front floor area is real tight, even with the seats all the way back, and the doors feel like they only open about 45 degrees (Or im putting on some serious weight). I did spend quite a bit of time cleaning up after the two Golden Labs they have. The fender trim was a real mess. The top 1/2 was real oxidized, so there was another time consumer, but the FS Ult Tire Gel looks fantastic, and lasts a reasonable amount of time. I told him it really needs to be dyed (Maybe next time)

As for the 1Z speed, that PC doesnt go fast enough for me.......(5 to spread, then two cross passes on 6)

What color can 1z products did you use-yellow and greed? What is the MP one for-I do not see it listed on the 1z usa web site and was wondering what the metallic polish was made for.

74, the Metallic is in a red can I believe. (I was using a sample) Its pink when ya pour it. Use it for light swirl removal. And the Paint Polish comes in a green can. Its greenish/beige, and used for light/medium swirls. I cant wait to use it again!

Patrick,



Did you try any wool to speed up the correction.

7 hours with a RR is about 6 hours and 50 minuets to long. I really hate detailing these things.

The fender flair problem is very common with this model

No Ron, not a chance. I had my work cut out for me just with all the interior componants of a RR. Not to mention the two Labs they own. The flares were terrible. They should be recoated. The owner mentioned having to have them replaced evey few years. I told him I could dye them, but I ended up not having it with me..they would have needed at least two coats for sure.....
