    Another rapid flashfire detail

    A friend of mine got a new `12 civic today and the paint was pretty good, but no where near whiplash levels. So it was time to tweak it. The schedule:
    1. wash and soak with Dawn -then clay with ONR
    2. Green CCS pad on GG6 with BF TPnS - removed with poly spray and MF
    3. two coats crystal seal on entire car and wheels
    4. BFWD on Horizontal surfaces for sun protection

    the pic of the stool is amazing - esp for Honda Civic paint which was peeled a bit- (and I `m not correcting it). The funniest thing was my friend was new to detailing and he dropped his jaw as he watched the gloss grow over the few hours we worked on other things, while the CS cured..he just kept saying "wow - it`s getting even better" every 30 min….

    paint looked somewhat "jeweled" in the sun this morning after curing all night in the garage:

    Re: Another rapid flashfire detail-update

    Here`s an update 3 MONTHS later - my friend has done nothing but wash bi weekly with meiguires Gold class shampoo and spray with Meg`s quick detailer afterwards...the paint still looks like candy and the gloss is amazing. This car is not garage kept, sits outside an apt, in full s fla sun all day. This is about 2100 miles later.

    Very nice looking.

    It really shows why the wet the ground in television and movies. It really helps improve the classiness of the pcis.

    Yup....


    This schedule of products is perfect for new cars that are owned by non detail people, like my friend. If you hAve no correction to do like this one, the whole thing can be done without any machines and get great results. My friend is still raving about the whole process....
