HELLO Fellow Car enthusiasts.
I just finished up Detailing my Whip and would like to hear your comments. I started detailing cars about 5 years ago basically as a hobby and now it's turned into an obsession.
Products I used were the following.. If you think or KNOW of something better please feel free to critique or let me in on the club census. Thanks..
ONR as lube for Clay bar
Pinnacle XMT Polish No 2 on a L.C. Orange Foam pad
Pinnacle XMT Polish No 1 on a L.C. White Foam Pad
Pinnacle XMT Finishing Glaze on a L.C. Grey pad
Pinnacle Soveran Wax on a L.C. Blue Pad
Carrand Dual sided towels..
I live in an apartment complex so I do not have access to a hose. I have used touch less car washes since 05 on my car and finish it off with a IPA Wipedown and quick detailer spray.
Enjoy!
Before and Afters..
Wheels were removed and cleaned with Simple Green to start with, I then used wheel Cleaner and a clay bar to remove most of the contaminants on the wheels. I finished it up with a mothers ball and rubbing compound to remove the 50K miles of brake dust..{ they were bought second hand]
Finsihed in rear.
After Winter oh boy, that's bad
After one pass with No2 and
Once I was done with a pass of No2 the car had this haze to it . { must be the subara CC man that stuff is SOFT]
I then Followed it up with NO1
Short lil film showing what she looks like here.
Now that all that small Haze was removed it was time to make her shine!
Before the Glaze
After the Glaze
Then the Wax wow this is some great stuff , goes on easy. but the power residue is a little more than I am use to with Mequiar's No26
Thanks for looking at my thread..
