Well, just did an exterior detail for my friend. He had already cleaned his interior. Car looked decent just minor swirls and scratches. We used p21s gel on the wheels and that took care of alot of the dirt and dust.



CG CWG

Clay

CG CWG

SIP orange pad

FP Blue pad

High endurance on the wheels (owners)

Lusso Creame black pad

Lusso 2 by hand and applicator



The lusso2 sample I was given was extremely tough to work with. It was very brittle. I initially planned to warm it up and apply by hand, but the piece kept breaking. I then warmed up an applicator pad and that didnt work either. Finally, we put it in boiling water to melt it and let be useable.



The results were good. Nice optics and shine. Thought lusso 1 looked wetter, but 2 had better depth. I personally thought lusso 1 was better, well mainly due to ease of use.

I have been looking for these pics lance. This is my car and yes it was starting to look horrible but I have never seen the paint look as bad as those first pics right after we washed and clayed it.



And yes, they are volk CE28N`s
