Well, this one comes to me from the same owners of the MDX I did about a month ago. I had seen the car around, and knew what I was going up against. It looked as it it hadn`t been washed in a month, and the rims were so bad, they were tinted almost yellow. The owner didnt want a complete and total correction, so I opted for PoliSeal mixed with 30% Opt Polish. This took out alot f swirls, and really gave life back to the paint. It also gave me a chance to try out my newly aquired #16!
So, heres my process:
Wash/Clay:
-EO Soap mixed with 30% Purple Power in the foam gun, then KIT with a sheepskin.
-Clayed with Zaino, using ONR as lube.
Wheels/Wells/Tires:
-Cleaned wheels with Wheel Brightener 2.5:1 using various brushes
-Tires cleaned with HiTemp Tire Cleaner 1:1, Wells with Purple Power 1:1
-pH neutralized rims with EO Bucketless
-Poorboys Wheel Sealant on rims
-Tires with Meguiars High Endurance, wells with HD 3:1
Paint:
-Polished with PS/OP Mix on the Metabo with an Edge Green at 1600-1800 RPMS
-#34 Wipedown
-Thin coat of #16, (This stuff is awsome!)
Interior:
-Total all surface clean with Meguairs APC 10:1
-Carpets with OxiClean and APC
-Hot Water Extract
-Seats with Blue Coral (My favorite cloth seat product)
-DP Total Interior Protectant
-DG FC&S on windows
