An Ordinary White Car...

This lady brought me her '07 Impala. It was very clean with practically no swirls. She told me that she takes it through the high pressure coin-op wash once a week and doesn't dry it. Surprizingly little soap scum also.

She wanted it polished to make it a little "shinier" and 2 coats of sealant.

Not the greatest pics. White cars in sunlight aren't usually very dramatic!!!:D

Process:

1. Car was perfectly clean when I got it.
2. Meguiar's Claybar/Z6 Lube
3. M205/PC/LC White Pad
4. Blackfire WD/PC/3M Black Waffle x2
5. Z6 Final Wipedown

Not a Ferrari, but it does look like new....

Nice work Bill!

How did you like polishing white in the sun? Hope you had some dark glasses on! :D

Haha.... yeah, I usually work outside when the weather is nice because my eyes aren't the greatest and I just can't see as well indoors.

And, yes, I was wearing my super-dark-green POLARIZED Ray-Ban Clip-ons. I'd be lost without them! (Sensitive eyes) :D
 
I got a white car too, but it is pearl white nicer than that white. But same thing with the sunlight, kind of lame, but at dusk and at night time it looks nice! Nice work
 
I really like white cars, but then I'm a little biased. I am really impressed with your results! Working on white outdoors is really a challenge for me - I have trouble seeing what the polish is doing. I usually end up working in the garage or shade, then pulling the car into the sun to see how I'm doing.

Great work. :thumbup:

I always wanted a white Trans Am. I bought this 2000 T/A in 2004. It had 6,000 miles. (Still only around 12k).

Here's a nice shade shot! (I like Z2Pro on white)
