300m + #21 =

This was the second detail I did today, a wash, polish and wax of 300 C. There was some bad swirling on the driverside of the hood that cleaned up with a little buffing.



Process....



Wash with NXT

Clay with Megs Blue Clay, Last Touch as lube

#83/8006 pad on rough areas, via rotary at 1500 rpm

#82/9006 pad on entire car, via rotary at 1100 rpm

Megs Hotshine on the tires

Megs Hyperdressing in the wheel wheels

Megs NXT window cleaner

Sealed with #21 on 9006 pad/PC



After washing with NXT, the surface felt very gritty. About 30 minutes of claying solved this. Here is a picture after half of the trunk...

Here is some of the heavy swirling on the hood. One pass of #83 cleared this up on the rotary. Here it is with the camera flash...

Same are using the Xenon (this may have been after the #82 also).

The owner didn't want a full buff, but I decieded to give the car a once of with #82 to lightly polish the surface (as the previous afters with the #83 where noticably darker then those with out) and insure uniformity. Then I applied #21 via PC (I wanted to go with a sealent to allow the flake to pop, even though I'm a carnuba guy at heart)



Afters...

Amazing work. I have been seeing more and more use of the #82 and 83 lately. Makes me want to go buy some.



The Vette does look familiar. Amazing how shiny the Vette looks in the reflection of another car still. :clap:

Nice detail and shine but... that's not a 300M

I was about to say the same thing, was kind of hoping to see a nicely detailed 300M. Excellent detail, not thrilled with the chrome B and C pillar add ons though.
 
Very nice! Clear, wet and swirl free! :)



Love that metallic black Chrysler/Dodge is using, detailed a Charger yesterday with the same color paint.

Gee thanks for pointing that out Sherlock. I kind of go by the titles when I go to read the post. Just pointing out the error, sheesh. :werd: to you
 
Fantastic job! I wish more detailers had such pride in the finished product.



Those wheels make me feel bad for the car. I sincerely wish soccer moms would stop watching Pimp My Ride.

Meguiars products

8006 is a polishing pad and 9006 is a finishing pad.

83= Meguairs dual action cleaner polish

82= Megauirs swirl free polish
 
Nice work :)



btw



I have one question that I wanted to ask a long time before, why does the clay get so dirty?



Is it beacuse no one uses a tar and glue remover or a proper TFR(trafic film remover)? I use this on all cars I polish and my clays picks up little to no contamitations.



Maybee beacuse the VOC regulations no one uses this products?



Sorry for the off-topic
