So I figured it was time to show a little love to my daily driver. It's an '03 Pathfinder that has never really been cared for properly. I've done a few vehicles in the past with the Meg's 83/80 combo but this was my first time using the 105/205 twins. I have to say, I was very impressed. Work time was much shorter and I was very impressed with the outcome.
PROCESS
Wash/Clay/Wells:
Meg's NXT Car Wash
Lowes Grout Sponge
2 Buckets with grit guard in rinse bucket (because I only have one)
Griots Clay w/ Meg's Final Inspection as clay lube
Wheel wells - Megs APC 4 to 1 - Dressed with Armour All prior to polishing
Correction:
PC 7424
Meg's 105 on Orange Uber 5.5" pad
Meg's 205 on Green Under 5.5" pad
LSP:
RMG
Natty's RED
Trim/Tires/Wheels:
Trim got cleaned with GR-40 Trim Cleaner followed by PB's Trim Restorer
Tires got cleaned with Eagle One A2Z followed by Megs' All Season Dressing
Wheels got cleaned with Megs Wheel Brightener
Here's some befores so you know exactly what I was dealing with. Warning - it's not pretty...
Clay after 1/4 of the hood:
In the process of taping (PIA):
And some afters:
Like the bumper sticker says, My Other Car is a....
Most of my stash:
My next car will be Silver...
Hats off to you guys that do this for a living. I work out four days a week at a gym and all in all consider myself to be a pretty healthy guy. This project just wiped me out.
