    Re: Rasky's Auto Detailing - High-End Auto Detailing and Premier Coating Installer, Minnesota Metro Area

    2010 Lexus RX450h in for a multi-step correction and CQuartz Finest coating application. This vehicle has seen 5 years of regular full service tunnel wash abuse and the owner wanted to get it dialed in after I did his new BMW this spring. No more tunnel washes either.

    Process:

    Wash - ONR Wash
    Wheels - Sonax Wheel Cleaner Plus & various brushes.
    Tires - Cleaned with Megs D143 and Tuf-Shine brush. Dressed with Megs Hyper Dressing
    Paint Prep - Nanos Skin Towel and Glide as lube
    Paint Correction - M100 on the rotary with a Solo wool pad. Groit`s Fast Correct Cream on the G21 with Griot`s MF BOSS pads followed by HD Polish+ on the G21 with yellow BOSS pads. Tight areas done with Rupes LHR75e
    Coating Prep - Eraser wipe-down followed by IPA
    Coating - 2 Coats of Finest applied to paint, trim coated with Opti-Lens

    Before pics

    Not bad, right???


    Wrong!










    50/50`s






    After














    Thanks for looking,

    Re: Rasky's Auto Detailing - High-End Auto Detailing and Premier Coating Installer, Minnesota Metro Area

    E46 M3 in for a 1-step "plus" correction and PPF removal. The "plus" part is because I wanted to try the new CarPro Essence sample so I step up my correction step and used Essence as a finishing polish to refine the paint and amp up the gloss.

    When I finished working late last Saturday night on this car I still had to do the windows, exhaust, and a few other misc items and planned to take full car after pics when I was done. Unfortunately delivery of the car was pushed out to 4 days later and I had forgotten to take after pics with my SLR, so all I have is a few with my iPhone after I was done polishing.

    Process:

    Wash - ONR
    Wheels - Sonax Wheel Cleaner Plus & various brushes.
    Tires - Cleaned with Megs D143 and Tuf-Shine brush. Dressed with Megs Hyper Dressing
    Tar Removal - Tarminator
    Paint Prep - Nanos Skin Towel and Glide as lube
    Paint Correction - Groit`s Fast Correct Cream on the G21 with Griot`s MF BOSS pads followed by Essence on the G21 with yellow BOSS pads. Tight areas done with Rupes LHR75e
    Exhaust - Optimum Metal Polish
    LSP - Decided to top Essence with 22ple VS1 at the last minute.

    PPF FUN!


    NOT!


    A little over an hour later...


    50/50`s after Fast Correct

    Swirling wasn`t too bad, but the paint had lots of staining and water spots










    Holograms on the drivers side...

    Nice, Love the gloss but now with Essence I am sure everyone will be getting these results right? LOL NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


    Great job, How much filling are you seeing? Do you still 3 step a car like this or is it 2 plus essence?

    I`ll need to play with it more to test how much filling it`s capable of. My intended use for this product is mainly just as a Primer prior to coating. That way I don`t have to wipe the car down with Eraser/IPA, which I`ve never been a fan of. Essence does have abrasives in it so I believe it`s more than capable of refining the paint after the compounding step, as long as it`s only light marring/DA haze. Griot`s new Fast Correct Cream finishes down so well on these paints that any finishing polish should have no trouble removing any left over marring/DA haze.

    Excellent work as always! Keep us updated with your findings with Essence. I think we are all intrigued by it, but on the fence with what it promises.

    No, he just moved up to MN from Texas and purchased the car just before he left.

    He was previously going to Detail Werkz for his detailing needs and was well educated on everything.
