My first detail

[Chicagoareanew]

Ok - here`s the `Michael Jacksonmobile` - after detailing it, the color is paler than before and there`s no better way to describe it. It hasn`t been sunny the whole time since I finished, so there are some cloudy day shots and night shots. I welcome any feedback people have regarding why my car looks the way it does.



My lineup:

First wash - Ultima

Clay - Ultima`s elastofoam

Second wash: Zymol`s green car wash because I wasn`t sure if I liked Ultima`s car wash or not

Polish: Ultima`s paint prep

Sealent: Four Star

Detail spray: Zymol`s field glaze

Windows: Autosupermart`s no - name brand foam.

Wheels, undercarrage, lights...well, nothing

In the night, my camera is not so forgiving. You can see how many dings are on the front fender

The side at night

And the window. There are so many trees around, no matter how I would take pictures during the day, there were always trees reflecting on it, so I figured why not add one

P.S. I don`t have any DA, so I polished by hand, so I couldn`t correct anything. But with my paint, it`s extremely difficult to see any swirl marks.

Good job , Looks great

I think it looks excellent. Lighter colors aren`t going to shine as well or have the same gloss as a black, red or blue car will.
