Poorboys Rules!
Phew...it's hot out there today...I'm still delirious from the heat.
assout:
Anyway...some time ago I asked for you guys' help on buffing out a long scratch on a car...well...this is it. I got the scratch out about a month ago. I was hoping the lady would go ahead and let me detail the whole car eventually as I couldn't stand having only buffed out the scratch and left the rest of the car filthy dirty so today I got to finish it.
Washing, claybarring, buffing, waxing and detailing it all out took me about 6 hours.
Here's what I did...
- washed with Megs soap
- claybarred entire car
- SSR1 over entire car
- SSR2.5 and 3 on a few heavy scratches
- PB EX over whole car
- Natty's blue over the 'top' of the car (I was running out of time)
- Stoners More Shine on the tires
- Stoners on the glass
- RIDGID vac on the interior
Overall I was really happy with the results. The paint wasn't in too bad of shape to start with other than a few scratches on the sides. The one side that I had done a few weeks ago was still smooth as glass so it went pretty fast.
The customer was ecstatic...said she had just paid it off and she was excited to have it 'revived' to a like-new state again.
I still think I need more practice as I could still see a few faint 'spider-webs' in some spots...after I was finished of course!
Sorry...no 'before' shots...I forgot.:crazy:
Anyway...what do you guys think?
:thanks
