eclipse

[CalgaryDetail]

So i havent posted in a while since i havent been able to detail due to moving. So today i finnaly got some time to work on a car, i scheduled the guy who did my web site 9 (i would do his car if he did my site.. i thought it was a good trade).
So its a perlecent orange eclipse, its a cool little car.

Proccess:

Spray down with p21 total auto wash
P21s wheel cleaner (left on while washed car, all the grime came right off)
Filled the bucket with water and added qew
QEW`d the whole car
QEW wheels and wells
Dried
Clayed using poli-clay, it wasnt strong enough so i moved onto VW clay (its not aggresive but a little more then poly clay).
Wipe off clay lube
Zymol HD-Cleanse the whole car (reminded me to do a review)
cleaned windows
applied VW concoours wax (man i love this wax)via foam appicator pad.

Then idid the inside, it was a basic detail, nothing special so i didint get any pics.

Here is the car before hand. it was nice and dirty, gota love calgary streets

Great job on that Eclipse! Maybe the owner will come back for another detail after he`s seen what his finish is supposed to look like. It`s a shame that he let that nice paint get so dirty.

Nice job Calgary, I`m sure that the owner is real happy with the way it come out, but from the looks of the snow and all, it don`t look like it`ll stay that way too long :wall

Side note:
Hope that you and your brother are all settled in in your new place.

Looks pretty good!

Blue Nitrile gloves from costco FTW.

Real nice..the 5th pic looks like the car is glowing..it wasn`t too dirty ;)

The whole process looks good. You sure have some shimmering pictures. The winter snow makes for some bright pictures.

I feel for the owner of that vehicle when he has to go to driving in Calgary streets. Within blocks it is polluted again. At least it is protected.

Haven`t seen(heard from) you in a bit! Very nice start. VW seems to have a competitive color range.

Excellent job. I love dramatic befores and afters.
