Carrera, Phantom, Dodge Ram 3500 Mega Cab

2004 Porsche Carrera, pretty much detail this one every 6-8 weeks. Goes fast, rarely have to polish...didn`t this time. Carnauba Moose removed with OCW, really gives excellent depth and wetness on silver. Ultima Tire/Trim on the plastic trim around the wipers, Armor All on the tires and fenderwells.

2004 Rolls Royce Phantom. Normally I`d have washed a couple of his employees vehicles at their main office. I get there, they say the big boss has called and wants the Rolls waxed...and I have 3 hours total. :nervous2:



Not only did he want it washed and waxed, but the interior touched up too. MF wipedown, leather dressed with Meguiars Gold Class Leather Conditioner.

I`ve been taking care of this car since he got in April of 2004 and I always thought this was just a nav screen...turns out it is also a TV!

I used to wash it along with his employees cars but the past year, he has been dealing with a lot of knee and back pain and the car just isn`t there either often enough or long enough. Not sure where he gets it washed but they do a piss poor job, it really needs a good polishing. Not going to happen in 3 hours though, not sure it is worth it if he keeps taking it elsewhere for weekly washes. :nixweiss



Just gave it an ONR wash and a coat of NXT2.

2006 Dodge Ram 3500 Mega Cab. What a beast! Lots of tar or something on the passenger side, seemed to have a more plastic consistancy than tar though.

Trashed a clay bar!

After an ONR wash and Meguiars white clay:

Kind of hard to pick up the swirls (not too bad) on a day with hazy sunshine.

A few after shots (including the whole truck shot) using Meguiars #83 with a yellow Meguiars polishing pad at 1400 rpm, finishing at 1000 rpm.

Next step was 3M Ultrafina SE with a blue Ultrafina pad. Started off at 1200 rpm, up to 1800 rpm, finished out at 1000 rpm. Bed is polished, doors just the #83 step. My customer is next to me admiring the added wetness UF adds.

All polishing done:

I then waxed the truck with Clearkote`s Carnauba Moose:

Your eyes do not deceive you, those really are Hummer H2 wheels with Dodge center caps.

Good Lord that Rolls is SICK! I think that`s the first time you`ve posted pics of the interior too. It`s a damn shame he doesn`t let you take care of it.



Very nice wetness on the Dodge, too. :)

[nmxdaven]

Beautifully job on that Phantom!!

[Chris@Optimum]

Nice work Scott! I`ll bet that Ram took a couple minutes, huh? And the mats on the Phantom are the thickest I`ve seen, crazy! The porsche is my fav though very classy.



I recently got a 7428-how much time does it save you over your UDM or Cyclo on a typical job and would you want to sell your Cyclo?

[Kenney]

Does NXT 2.0 stain trim like the original?



Great work!

[Pats300zx]

Great work Scott. Did you end up picking up a Makita?? I wasn`t sure what rotary was sitting on the ground next to the truck.

[1 Clean WS6]

mmmm...silver Porsche!!! :drool:



Awesome as always Scott!!

Pat that looks like a Porter Cable rotary.

[gmblack3]

Great work Scott!



I know it would kill me knowing how well the RR would look after polishing it with UF. I hope you get to polish it one day again.



The truck and the porsche look great as well.

The Phantom mats are sheepskins. :eek:

With taping off and maybe needing an intermediate polishing step, I really don`t save all that much time. The real benefit is that I can remove deeper defects than I otherwise could.



I`d consider parting with the Cyclo since I have the rotary for heavy corrections and the UDM and PC for lighter work or finishing.



Pat-I have a Porter Cable 7428.



Bryan-I`d love to polish out the Rolls but I fear a couple tunnel washes or crappy hand washes or whatever he is having done with undo my work in a wash or two. :(

[Chris@Optimum]

Shoot me a PM or email me about the Cyclo: age, wear, accesories, $$$, etc.
