First shot at the Volvo

[skadet]

Hi all,



Thanks for your help in selecting products & tecnique, it`s been really helpful.



Here`s my Volvo, It started out with some baby scratches and a semi-dull finish (I think it hadn`t been waxed in some time), and of course it was a little dirty.



Before:

Afters & gratuitous beauty shots... it was dusk so I couldn`t get too many killer reflections:











The white spot is the moon, not a bird poo...





















Hope you like it!

That driver`s door handle area looked incredibly nasty in the before shots, were you able to clean that up?

What products did you use?

Wash/dry:

Meg`s Deep Crystal

Wash mitt + 2 buckets

Dry with squeegee + chamois + WW



Clay

Meg`s #2 on fine/light scratches

Meg`s #7

Meg`s #26



Dressing:

Mother`s Billet metal polish

Meg`s Hot Shine

Mother`s Back to Black

Meg`s Quik Detailer on the Back to Black that ran onto the paint





I don`t have a PC yet, so I didn`t want to try and tackle the 2-3 deeper scratches or the rock dings on the leading edge of the hood, but #2 worked by hand on the finer scratches (like near the gas cap)

Not often that I see someone apply #2 by hand.

#7 and #26 is a nice combo. Your paint looks really deep and black now. Awesome glow with the lighting from the sunset too.

Very nice job, especially working by hand-believe me, I know how much work that is!

Thanks for the props guys, it means a lot considering the work I`ve seen you all do.
