Drove about an hour to get to this client.
Probably the smoothest job iv'e had this month, he had everything set up when I got there (hose to driveway, radio blasting in the garage, & so on). Was a decent day :)
While I was finishing up on his Acura, his next door neighbor came over and asked prices and ended up giving him a Wash & wax on his Nissan Sentra. Didn't have to go far to have my day filled :xyxthumbs: Slipped my mind to take photos of the Sentra but I won't forget from now on :Picture:

And to Top it off, I found a $20.00 Dollar bill on the ground in a puddle of water while walking back to my truck (which was parked next to a mailbox hub) all in all it was a good/interesting day :buffing:

IPA wiped xmt360 because of personal opinion of it, so went with something else. This car really needs a full compound & polish, has RIDS/Swirls/PT galore. Had to give the client what he wanted and could afford, he thought wax would remove all the scratches :doh: He was satisfied with service but kinda bum'ed. I'm all about If the customers not happy then i'm not happy and got into a conversation about it. Figures, over the years he was lead to believe somehow wax cures all..

He said he will be calling me soon for a full compound & polish :D, I threw in a free headlight restoration If he did schedule an appointment so he knew I care about my customers. Well
on with the pics..

I am not sure what corrective polish you did use. If I read the write up correctly, you started with XMT360 and then used 4500 (Menzerna PO85RD)? You apparently had M205 since you did the test spot.
 
Yes, I stated that I did test spots to show the customer what a full polish could achieve. Then went on with xmt360, didn't like it at all so IPA wiped it and just finished up with po85rd.
