Mobile Detailing Services
Been awhile since I've posted a full detail. I've mainly been doing wash/vacs and mini-details. I did 8 wash/vacs on Tuesday.....4 Denallis and 4 Escalades!

This one was a referral from my local Chrysler dealership. The owner had back surgery so the car went unwashed for 7 months. Being black and in the sun all day.....it was bad.....very bad.

Here's the regimen for this one:



Start time: 8:30AM

Finish time: 4:00PM



NXT Car Wash

(Clay barred entire car....wheels too.)



XMT #3

(EDGE2K Yellow cutting pad with a #5 setting followed by a #4 pass)

Hood, roof, and trunk took 2 passes. I did this in direct sunlight on a black car. No dusting and no pad clogging.



XMT #1

(EDGE2K Orange polishing pad at #5 setting)

Used this to polish out the paint. There was some minimal marring where I made 2 passed with #3 and this process took it right out. Once again in full sunlight. Not one problem.



DP's Max Wax

(Applied by hand....removed by hand)

I worked one panel at a time due to the heat. Went on and came off like butter. Left the surface feeling like silk. The hood, roof, and trunk revieved 2 coats.



Other Products used:

Purple Power Degreaser

(Wheel wells and tires)

Woolite 10:1

(All plastic, leather, and carpets)

Armor All Tire Foam

(Wheel wells)

Armor All Tire Gel

Stoner's Invisible Glass





I am very impressed with the XMT lineup. It's product do what they say they can. As for Max Wax, I believe this is still the best value out there.

Anything over #5 setting will break down the abrassives to quick and give you no work time. Time is the key to XMT and PC success. Takes about 5 minutes per panel.........20 for the roof X2.

No problem. It's all about learning techniques when it comes to the PC.

Great job as always.. :2thumbs:

have you compared XMT3 to other polishes and see how it performs? Have you had a chance to try the HTEC/OP 50/50 mix with PC?

I haven't tried tha mix but I have tried Optimums Hyper Compound. XMT3 is alot like it. No fillers and is pad dependant on cutting.
