Client tells dealership as always, "Don`t wash it!" They do.



So these pics are after the dealer "wash"

Dealership wants to use their local bodyshop to correct it.



Client agrees but only if they will pay his detailer (me) to fix it if they can`t.



So after the attempt at correction by the bodyshop, here is how the car arrived to me:

Process:



Initital wash w/ ValuGard paint Neutralization System. Used foam lance for final wash step.



Rinsed at safe distance w/ PW.



Clean wheels with Valugard Custom Wheel Cleaner-Has a nice foaming action that clings very well. Various brushes.



Tires/Wells cleaned with Eimann Fabrik Hi-Intensity Cleaner- Does a great job removing those nasty dealer applied tire dressings.

Refoamed car via lance/PW Zaino Z7 soap.

Checked thickness of paint with my PosiTest DFT PTG.



Paint correction-I went with the Kevin Brown Method using a PC6, orange pads and the latest M105 to remove the defects.



QEW wash to remove the polishing dust.



I followed with M205 using a white LC pad and PC set to 4.5.

I noticed the windscreen had some type of sap or something similiar. I attempted to remove this with straight IPA, but had no luck. So I polished the windscreen w/ Zaino Z-12 clear view glass polish using a white CCS pad on my PC at speed 4.5.



Car was rinsed at a safe distance with PW then foamed again via lance/PW using Zaino Z7 soap and washed via 2BM using a quality sheepshin mit. Rinsed again and dried with quality WW MFs.



Wiped down car w/ Zaino Z6.



Applied 2x of ZFX`d Zaino Z5pro.



Applied Zaino Z8 to paint and glass.



Zaino AIO applied to wheels.



Tires got Zaino Z-16.

Thanks Josh! This paint has the "hard clearcoat" sticker under the hood. Not hard like ceramiclear or vette, but still not soft like a lexus or porsche.
