Co-workers Kia Sorento. Full detail, 1-step buff with M205...nothing crazy. :rolleyes: Not a lot of afters either as the owner showed up just as I finished.

crazy oxidation on the rubber around the glass, probably from touchless washes.

I had a heck of a time capturing the paint condition, not sure if it was from the orange peel or what, but it was a real pain.

Actually the oxidation cleaned right up with a MF towel and some glass cleaner. :xyxthumbs

looks brand new again Rasky! I like some of those dark reds as much as black when it comes to after shots.

Great work, that red has come up really nice!



What was the product and process used on the black trim, i too have a Kia and its looking the same way. Have used APC to wash it then KAIO to clean it but it still there in place and comes back quite soon.



Thanks

Thanks bro, I`m a sucker for red metallics too ;)

Actually I tried KAIO on a spot too and it worked very well. When I was cleaning the windows I noticed the glass cleaner took the oxidation right off so I just went with that. ;)



Not sure if it will come back soon or not but I did mention to the owner what I used to remove it.

Looks great Rasky! M205 impresses me more and more every time I see someone use it.

Nice work. I love DD cleanups. What pad did you use with the M205?

Thanks Mike! M205 has yet to let me down! ;)

I don`t mind doing basic work at all. I LOVE full correction jobs, but these can be done in a day and don`t burn you out either. ;)





Meguiar`s W8207 polishing pad. I did spot hit a few RIDS/scuffs with M105 too.

White LC pad. ;)



That`s what I thought. Just wanted to make sure. Thanks.



Real shame that people forget about the engine compartment. Nice cleanup there as well.:2thumbs:

I offer it to my customers, and the VAST majority would rather have that time invested into the paint to make the paint look that much better, (especially since their hood stays closed most of the time).
