Had to make this 2008 Honda CRV Shine!

[Old Pirate]

Had this Honda for today. The owner wanted to clean it up and shine like hell. So my process was wash with 2 bucket method with Wolfgang Auto bathe and with my Ulti-mitt wash mitt. For rims i use P21S gel and with my EZ detail brush. Tires got roll-off and inner wells too. For drying i use a leaf blower and a new Cobra Guzzler HD WW drying towel i got from Meghan (works great). After claying with Meg's clay bar and #34, i then threw the 3M low tack tape and inspect the finish which only had a few swirls to my surprise. I use Zanio AIO and with a little of ZPC on a Cobra cross groove pads ( white and blue ) with a Makita rotary at 900 rpm's to 1500 rpms. It work great on removing those nasty little swirls and clean up the finish too. I also got to use the new Cobra Super Plush MF towel i got from Meghan and it works great! After that it was wipe down with prep-sol to inspect and everything look great. It got 2 coats of Z2 with Z8 as a final wipedown. Interior was vac and clean up with IZ einszett cockpit cleaner and glass with Stoner's. The tires got RL tire dressing and 303 for the lower black panels. Total time was under 7 hrs with the rain and storms today. The owner was very happy and i was too. I'm wipe out from the heat today!

Thanks everyone for looking............Angelo

Thank you Pats!, I'll try to get better at this picture taking with before & after ones. In 2 pic's one will notice the pic's look foggy because it was the humidity was so high and freaking lighting stuck a few times about 100 ft from me.........Angelo

Where did you get the aluminum bench step ladder?



That's perfect for cleaning SUV's and large vehicles.

I got it about 3 yrs ago at Lowes, using a gift card that i got for Xmas. I think it was on sale for 35.00 dollars, my cost was zero.

GREAT Gloss ZoomZoom! And, that's a tougher color to get "right" than black.



Looks superb and the Zaino will give the owner some nice protection.



Way-2-Go
