Yet another 4th spent detailing. I detailed this car on the 4th, probably a good 7-8 years ago. It`s gotten pretty bad since then!
I did a couple of test spots with different pads and polishes, using the Flex. I ended up using a white Sonus polishing pad and PO106FF until I got fed up with the slow progress, then busted out the SIP and a burgundy Meguiar`s pad. It finished down with no hazing, LSP-ready. I`m guessing this is pretty hard clear :)
I also did about half the car in the sun. I don`t know why. :crazy:
So, the lineup:
Wash
RainX Foaming wash with ONR & foamer
PB`s Spray and Rinse on the driver`s side wheels
Sonax on the passenger side (testing these out)
Light claying, as needed
Meg`s APC 1:1 on lower parts
Polish
PO106FF
SIP
Flex w/polish and cutting pads
Rewashed with dawn, blown out with compressor
Seal
Opti-Coat 2.0 :clap1:
Opti-Seal on the tires
The pics
Hazy high clouds and cell phone camera....

I have NO IDEA what all these scratches are about...
