The story of PB / VM and a Nissan Sentra

I have to open up by saying "thank you". Two weeks ago I posted up some pics on this same Nissan and asked for some help. I really appreciate everyone who shared their thoughts and ideas with me.

I thought I had an illness when it came to detailing and if that is true finding this site has made me incurable, but if that’s the case at least I’ve also found a great support group.

I’ve been turned on to Poorboy’s products. I have read so many great reviews. I had to pick some up. The anniversary sale only further added to my already growing collection of products.

I friend of mine unknowingly volunteered her neglected Nissan Sentra for my PB test. She has done VERY little to maintain this car. She may have waxed it once since she has had it. I previously had posted up some pictures of the hood and trunk. I was very concerned about a white haze which was all over the car but most noticeably on the trunk and hood. Some members even commented it may be clear coat failure. That really concerned me. Well the day finally came and out came the Poorboy’s.

I opened with SSR 2.5 with a polishing pad. I did a small section of the hood and was very pleased to find out it was not clear coat failure. I have to say SSR 2.5 is amazing the care looked great after just that step, but off course I could not stop there. I followed it up with SSR 1. Then I moved on to VM of course and used EX to seal it all in. The results are amazing. I know I’m “preaching to the choir” because many of you have used these same steps to achieve great results yourself but this was my first time. I have to say Poorboy’s is AWSOME. It will be a long time before I feel like I have to try anything else.

All products were applied using a PC. All products went on very easy and might have come off even easier. The end product speaks for itself.

These first two pics are the exterior before:

The next three pics show what a litte soap and water will do.

Attention to detail always have to pay attention to detail. Here is the engine compartment B4.

Here it is clean.

And here it is dressed. (sorry the pic is a litte dark it was at the end of a long day.)

And of course here for their standing ovation is the team that made it all possible.

Excellent :bigups

I had a feeling the paint wasn't dead yet, great work
 
Excellent job, both on the detail of the car and on documenting as you went along!

Thanks for sharing!

Thank for all the kind words.

Yes, the owner is very please. She said it looked better then when she purchased it.

Yes, you were right Don. The paint was not dead. Your comments to my previous post really helped me keep a positive attitude.

Hook: I had to document it. Both for all of you because I’ve received so much advise and direction here but also for myself. When you see the process happen right in front of your eyes it’s easy to forget what you started with.
