Recent details V.very nasty interior + #80/EX w carnauba pics

[Scottwax]

Let`s get the disgusting stuff out of the way first!



1986 Toyota truck. It is at the deer lease most of the year and up at the owner`s roofing company during the summer. They mostly use it as a `gopher` vehicle so they wanted it cleaned up inside. No point in doing much to the exterior, the paint is way beyond anything but a repaint.



This is what I started with:

After about 2 hours with Woolite/water and pouring water into the carpeting and extracting it out:

BTW, yes, I know the images are reversed. That is how they are on the picture CD and I don`t feel like going back down and having them redo it this very instant! ;)



-----------------------------



1991 Lexus LS400. Not too bad of shape for its age. Meguiars #9 with a polishing pad and EX w/carnauba:

2003 Escalade ESV. Regular customer, last done with VM and EX-P about 4 months ago (March) and it was up to Colorado and back in June. Some light scratches, etc. #80 with a polishing pad and EX w/carnauba.

2003 Dodge Ram 1500. Regular customer, about twice a year for details. #80 by hand in his office`s parking garage (I took the pic when he got home while I was detailing his wife`s Suburban). Topped with EX w/carnauba.

2002 Toyota Sequoia, owned by a friend. Normally his daughter and wife wash it...with dish soap. http://www.scottwax.com/rice/videos/smilies/eek4.gif http://www.scottwax.com/rice/videos/smilies/nuts.gif http://www.scottwax.com/rice/videos/smilies/stickpoke.gif Definitely needed some polishing but otherwise in decent shape. #80 with a polishing pad and EX w/carnauba....notice the trend on black paint? As much as I like EX-P, I like the regular EX more on black.

And now for something completely different. 2002 Jaguar Type S. Weekly wash customer, waxed every 3 months. I used Vanilla Moose with a polishing pad and topped with Carnauba Moose. I have a full car shot, but with the way the shadows were that day, it came out too dark because of the sunlight behind the car.



Oh well, here is a hood shot:

Nice work Scott!!!

[stilez]

Damn...awesome as usual :D



I agree with you that EX is amazing on black. Just deep and wet! Have you tried Natty`s yet? Specifically over EX?



How long are you getting EX to last for where you are and how is the EX-P holding up as well?



I still love the VM/CMW combo...I topped EX-P with CMW on my girlfriend`s Imola Red Saab and Damn! :cool: instantly added more depth and wetness.

nice work! i especially like the jag, wow, beautiful.

[SpoiledMan]

Where did that picture of the Jag come from? It doesn`t even look real. Heck, it looks perfect!

[SilverLexus]

Excellent work as usual.

[BlueRanger]

That Jag`s hood is nuts! So #80 seems to be your new fav....can you compare a bit to VM? Im almost out of it (love it btw) but if 80 is a better mild polish I might go with that. Is it going to be discontinued because of the VOC Regulations?

[dcswd]

Nice work, whats up with the picture of the lexus though? its backwards! :confused:

[stilez]

I`ll give a quick synopsis on #80 for you BlueRanger.



It is slightly more agressive than SFP and a lil less than DACP. Use it with different pads/pressures/speeds for varying results. It cuts hard at first, then breaks down rather quickly to a very fine polish. It`s an excellent one-step polish that can be waxed/sealed right after words. I wouldn`t compare it to VM though as VM is a very light polish.



FWIW: It`s my go to polish :)

BlueRanger-#80 is more aggressive than VM, so I can use it to remove defects VM can`t. It also buffs down real nice. You don`t have to use a glaze prior to waxing with #80, you can go straight to wax. I use both #80 and VM (and at times together) since I don`t always need to go more aggressive than VM.



GSRstilez-I am getting 4-6 months of beading from the regular version of EX, which is more than I expected based on some reviews of the product (as usual, reviewer`s results varied) but pretty much all agreed EX w/carnauba lasts longer when you use Polish w/carnauba as a base. Seems to hold true when you use Vanilla Moose as well.



BTW, I am getting 4-6 months of beading and decent slickness with Carnauba Moose as well. Since you have it on your girlfriend`s car, please monitor the durability as I am really suprised at how long it has lasted for me. I am just curious if it is an abnormality based on the relatively wax friendly enviroment of Dallas and QEW as my primary wash, or other`s in different areas of the country (world?) get similar results.

[stilez]

Scott: Her fenders have nice lips to them leaving a noticeably more wetlook due to the reflection of the sky off them so that will help with how long it lasts. It is in a pretty rough environment here (either in direct sunlight or under trees) so I will monitor it. So far so good :D

I love right hand drive cars :D

Scottwax,
