2008 Toyota Camry XLE

It's been a while i had a detail to do and finally got one today. The owner got this one late last yr and never wash this poor thing. I started at 7:30 this morning and had to use P21S auto wash twice because it was so dirty and the dirt was not coming off easy and the rims were a pain in the neck too ( using P21s gel) with my EZ Detail brush too, for tires i use amazing roll off also. After using the 2 bucket method and then had to clay 2 times because of the fall out and rail dust this baby had i was starting to get a little piss off. My time for this was 3 hrs and the heat was starting to rise here. I started using the UDM with The Cobra Cross Groove pad's i got when i was at DF and put to the test using Optimum Polo-Seal x 2 and use the white cobra cross groove white pads. The pads are OK but it seems to flake little pieces of form out and i was wondering if any one had use these and had the same problems i have. Well after all of that i did a 80/20 wipe down and also a Z6 one too. It came out very nice and and then use ZCS on it for some good old protection. The interior i vac, and use 1Z Einszett Cockpit Premium with a MF pad and then clean the leather interior with Lexol Leather Cleaner and Lexol Leather Conditioner also. All glass by Stoners and rubber trim with 303. Tires got Optimum Tire Shine. Total time was 8 1/2 hrs. Thanks everyone for looking and my next one is a 2009 Toyota Matrix next week.

And yes i do need to learn to take better pic's....................

Zoom - nice work - Hopefully the owner will wash occasionally.

I have had the same issues with Cobra cross pads. I wanted to try them since they were new. I have the white polishing 6.5" pads, using a 6" BP and 5" counterweight on a PC. The edges on the polishing side started to come flake off. I was thinking this was me, the operator, but tried the 6.5" CCS Polising pad and no problems.

Thanks guy's, it means alot to me coming from you all!
And i did switch to LC CCS pads because of this Redwings97. But it is a good pad to use, it just glide over the surface with no problems at all except for the some flying pieces of form from the edges.
