Cavalier RS - No 56k

**GregCavi** · 08-14-2005, 03:51 PM

Hello Everyone! This one was the start to an exhausting week for me. It turned out pretty nicely. The interior wash trashed at best. Sorry I didnt post more pics but I have so many details to look through so I dont have the energy to resize all of the images. But here we go.

Interior

Vaccum
APC on everything to remove dusty buildup
OXY/APC/FOlex
Extract shop vac
VRT on vinyl

Exterior

Wash HT bubbling Suds
Clay PB
Optimum via white LC polishing pad @1250 RPM
SSR 2 via edge 2k pad
PwC via hand
TS spit shined with OCW (wouldnt do it again)

You can see what I was up against

I mentioned that the TS and OCW didnt work well together when spit shined. I think it was just to hot when I did it. It was pushing 95 with high humidity so it just didnt work.

This was taken on tuesday when bad storms rolled through our town. The tornado alarm were sounded. It had major winds and knocked down tons of trees in our city.

Thought someone would get a kick out of it haha.

Questions/Comments?

nice transformation, especially on the paint. those clouds look pretty bad. did they just blow over?

**GregCavi** · 08-14-2005, 05:05 PM

they blew over trees! IT was really bad wind. I thought the garage doors were going to blast right through. Thanks for the comment!

Its not my car. It belongs to a client. Use the oxy method on you carpets. I do it very rarely and my carpets stay black.

lol mine was trashed and theres a hole in it! i used the oxy method and a steamer did nothing at all!

nice! very thorough work! hey now that the rotory is up, is an extractor next on the list?

i have to get me some optimum polish!

great job.

at first i thought the sky was a reflection on the paint

Next on the list is to save some money! I am planning on buying a rigid shop vac and a small pressure washer for winter. I might also buy a small LGCM type extractor. But mostly save money.

What pad with the rotary and ssr2.5 did you use ?

**GregCavi** · 08-15-2005, 09:16 PM

optimum via white lake county 7.5" vc pad @1500 rpm

ssr2 via edge 2k orange light cut pad 6" (pc)

the orange edge 2k pad is new and is not released. It is the equalevant of a lake county orange light cut pad.

Very Nice work, but you need a extractor dearly.

**GregCavi** · 08-15-2005, 09:34 PM

I have no need for an extractor. You can check out what I can do by hand and a shop vac especially in the infinity j6 detail I posted a bit ago. I am 17 afterall and dont have the money for one.

Welcome to my situation

I`m gonna get the Bissel Little Green Machine to start out with, I`ve heard great things about it and it`s fairly cheap. I`m stuck with a Shop Vac for carpets for now, I`ll have to talk to you about your methods on AIM sometime...

Oh, and the car loks great
