It`s my first click and brag and it was my details for today. Customer referred me to do two of his friend`s car so one was a quick and easy Jag 4dr. It was pretty clean, so just did the basic, wash, vac, and then clayed, spot buff and wax



Process:



-Wheels & Wheel well: Meguiar`s Super Degreaser (4:1)

-Wash: CG Citrus Shine

-Interior: Shampooed carpets with some stuff (unknown brand)

Steam cleaned interior

Ultima Interior Guard (love it!)

-Exterior:Clayed with ONR lube

106ff & HTEC (80/20 mix) - White pad for spot treatments

Topped off with a new can of Natty Red (very slick stuff!)

Tires: Armor All Extreme Shine (white gel)



The process was the MB was the same, but took much longer. Also took about 2 passes with the 106ff & HTEC (80/20 mix) - White pad. Other than that it was a good day :) Two happy customers and supposedly they`ll refer me like no other after today! I think I`m set for the rest of the year :)

I like it a lot actually! More than NB. As a wax it`s probably my fav. One thing I do know is once you apply it to the panel, take it off immediately or else it`ll be a PITA to remove. I usually do about 2 panels and then start cleaning it up with a MB.




Good job young grasshopper!:)



I have much to learn still! Much to learn, I need to speed up my process, if that`s even possible? Wonder how much time I could reduce with a wool pad.



Too bad I won`t be seeing ya this month for that tech session. Maybe next month :)
