CG blacklight + Black wax 2013 Prius

[psynx]

So we ended up trading in our 2012 Fit for this plug in Prius, my gf drives 80 Miles One way every day and needs not just good MPG but also carpool access on her own.
So the car is new a ton of orange peel and feel like it needed some love and protection.
Here we go...

First i attacked the rims/tires, trim, and gas tank/ plug in port.

I was careful not to get water or spray anything in there so i sprayed it on the rag (APC+) and wipe it down

Decided to use a mixture of Meg's AWC and APC+ with various brushes

Next i took a look at the engine bay wasnt dirty but needed some dressing so i wiped it down with a MF towel and some APC+

Next I tried my new CG "foam lance" but not with a pressure washer, it the hose type. Wasnt as foamy but it got the job done. Also used citrus wash+gloss

Natural Sea Sponge!!!!! Straight from spongenon's neighborhood.

To dry I love my side kick air blaster with my meg's waffle MF towels

Next is claying, since the car is only couple days old i used GG fine clay and CG luber

I used some CG V38 since the car was free of swirls and scratches, also i was getting low readings on the hood for some weird reason. Maybe the hood has been worked on by the dealer??? hood was in the mid to low 3's mils and everywhere else was 5 and 6's. Sorry no pix of the polish before or after

Applied some Blacklight with my Meg's DA and a Black finishing pad

While i let the blacklight dry for 15 minutes I applied some wheel wax from CG and worked on the Interior and trim a bit

Finally it was time for some Black from CG, the only thing i didnt like about it (duh) that it stains your rag black... Go figure, i guess thats why they send you 2 Black MF towels

Ultimate Car Detailing OC!!!!!!!

Finally after my boring write up here are the afters

Overall I was impressed with black and the blacklight combo, and it uses very little to spread and nice thin coat it'll go a long way

i know it only gets like 20 m max of a full battery but it still allows her to go on the carpool which is the main selling point for us

Excellent work!

Nicely done! :bigups

I enjoy the before and after shots of everything but all the in between stuff makes a huge difference in understanding what products and accessories were used to complete the transformation...

If he is in Cali it is automatic carpool access if your in an electric.

Not all hybrids they were handing them out like flyers so there limited a year and specific hybrids like the nissan leaf, chevy volt, etc

Awesome Job!!!!! And gratz on the new car/

there limited even though its electric they only give out a certain number every year so the carpool doesnt get congested with single riders
