Ron and I detailed this Turbo this morning (along with the help of my brother who is visiting from CA.).
New client with 4 more cars lined up for us after this one. We have no BEFORE pictures as it was early when we started and the camera wouldn`t pick up the the halo scratches that covered the paint. It also had some tar and mild contamination on the paint as well. Had the typical "car wash" tire crud on the tires as well as all over the lower panels.
Clay took care of the tar and contamination. Ron then used the Cyclo with orange pads and Perfect-It III to level down the halo scratches.
White pads and FP was then used to smooth things over. Pizazz was layed down and then topped with an application of OCW.
Interior needed a general cleaning and then Leathermaster was applied to the seats.
Enjoy the pictures :)

What a glow :cool
Very nice work!
Oh, I know what you mean about the tire crud...My mom`s dealer prepped Silverado has it on the rims, paint, mirrors, windows, etc :(

Looks Great!!!
When using the PI III with the cyclo, do you leave a wet edge or do you buff until it is gone?
I used the PI III MG over the weekend for the first time and the parts that dried basically welded themselves to the finish. A bit of QD and some elbow grease with a MF removed it, but I switched half way through to #80. I also noticed a lot of dusting. It was very cold, but I was in a garage with the door down. I was using the cyclo with the green polishing pads. Any tips? Was this normal? TIA.

Nice work!!!!
Why do people with silver cars think they can let it go for so long-just because you can`t see it does not means it`s not there. LOL
Hmmm its official! Got my new combo built. EX-P x3, Pizzaz x 1, then Optimum!

The 3M product is a new and improved formula. I have only used it with the rotary and the cyclo. The old formula when used with a PC needs a lot of elbo grease to remove. Works great with the rotary and a white or black LC pad.
The pictures dont show it but this car was so bright when we finished it was almost blinding. It almost looked like we added a layer or two of clear to the finish.
Happpy Holidays.

What other colors do you use Pizazz with? I know people like it for Silver, but what else? Is it interchangeable with Trade Secret? I just ordered some and want to use it. Sure smells nice!

Anthony and Ron, great results again. Another testament of why I bought Pizzaz a year ago now.
TD, I`ll give you my imput on it so you can have another opinion. Pizzaz works really well on lighter colors. I have used it several times on a client`s Champagne colored Jag, as well as a more pewter colored Infinity, and plenty of silvers.
It is by no means a replacement for TS. TS looks better on darker colored cars, and Pizzaz on lighter ones. Hope that helps, and have fun with the new products.

I believe that Pizazz is to Signature the way TS is to Souveran. I have only tried Signature and with getting a 2nd jar thanks to the Autogeek giveaway I may not try it for quite some time.
