Good Morning D.C.!
I have been lurking, reading but not posting for the last several months. I am getting ready to jump back into detailing my personal cars for the season. I just moved my Polishes, waxes and sealants from the Laundry Room (inside the house) back to the garage. All MF got a fresh wash and are in their perspective bins!
I have not done anything more than a wash the cars in many, many months. All 3 sit out side 24X7 but thanks to some old kitchen cabinets I relocated to the garage for organizational purposes, I think I should be able to get at least 1 car in there. Not mine (READ the WIFE`s)!
Fine with me as I like mine as far away from the kids bikes anyhow!
So my car has absolutly no protection left on it whatsoever! I mean zero. Sheet city. Interestingly enough the AquaPel I applied the week I got the car in 2008 is still holding its own. I plan on adding another coat of that as well to boost it up for our last year together. (lease will be up). I have liked having a black car more than I expected. I traded in a white one for a black of the same model. Black has been frustrating but it cannot be beat when it is clean. If I cannot get the polishing thing down this season, I am out of the black car ownership deal. I can make any color lighter than Navy POP! I own enough equipment (Flex, PC, lots of pads all different colors, 20-Gal Wet Vac, Extractor, 2 sets halogen lights on stands, 100`s of MF towels) and product to run a friggin good size detailing business yet I still cant get the swirls out of my vehicle. I guess the only thing left to blame is ME! So at this point I am viewing this as a personal challenge. (By the way, if anyone know a goof proof product, I would still buy it! This is a sickness!)
I plan on polishing with PB SSR line (I own 3, 2.5, 1 and PP), depending on my results using Black Hole (My goal is to polish enough to avoid fillers but PBBH has saved my a$$, and time before big time) and applying a sealant. I am shooting for getting this done in 2 weeks if the weather cooperates. This weekend I plan on doing the interior and adressing some stone chips with Dr. Colorchip. If someone has a better system I would appreciate a name or link.
I will try to post before and after pictures unless the results are embarassing. Then I will just blame the camera! Dam technology!
Good to be back!
