Mobile Detailing Services
Well, after seeing my work yesterday, I several calls yesterday evening. This was one of three that I did again at the same location as the H2. This was the only full detail......the others were wash/waxes.



This car had some really apparent damage. Seems that the client was on an interstate when a blowout from an 18 wheeler sent some tire fragments flying her way. It had taken out her windshield (replaced) but left a huge mark on her hood. My job.......just make it look "better". I'll take that challenge any day! I mean, how could I make look worse? So off to work I went.



Here's the process:



Wash....

(NXT Tech Wash with Black ShMitt)



Yep, black ShMitt. I've now used it on over 100 cars and it has not induced anymore marring than any other wash device I've used. The benefit you ask? Larger pores me better cleaning and better releasing of dirt debris. Nothing cleans better than this mitt. I promise you that.



Wheels, Tires, and Wells....

(DP's Exterior cleaner for the tires and wells. DP's Gel Whee Cleaner with Black ShMitt. Pinnacle Black Onyx Tire Gel on the tires and No-Touch Wet'n Protect on the wells.)

After letting the tires and wells soak while I was cleaning the rims with the ShMitt, I blasted the areas with my pressure washer. The DP's Gel really cleaning the wheels.......with no harshness at all. DP's Exterior Cleaner handled it's task well. Even diluted at 1:1. Good combo here!



Interior

(DP's Total Interior Cleaner for cleaning. Pinnacle's Vinyl and Rubber Protectant for panels and dash. Pinnacle's Leather Cleaner/Condtioner for the seats.)

All cleaned up well with a damp MF towel. A wipe down on the dash, doors and seat went quick. I'm not used to doing cars! The client did not wish to have her mats or engine cleaned due to time restraints. The mats got a light wipe down and then quickly striped. I really liked the look of the Pinnacle products. Nice scent too.....light banana.



Exterior Paint Polish and Protection

(Pinnacle's Advanced Swirl remover followed by Pinnacle's Souveran Spray Wax. Used EDGE2K Green Polishing Pas at at #6 on the PC.)

ASR and the EDGE pad combo did an amazing job and cleaning up the damaged hood. This polish finished out so smooth. No marring at all. It really brought out the pearls in this paint. There were 4-5 deeper scratches that would not come out. I and the client were really pleased though. Souveran Spray Wax brought out the shine just as good as any paste or liquid wax could. The pearls were popping the depth was there......even on white!

Nice job! :)



The owner really lucked out that most of that was just rubber transfer. It could have been so much worse.
