Hi everyone!! This is by far the worst detail I have done in my life exterior paint wise. I couldnt capture the severity of the paint. Think gsrstilez scotchbrite maxima. So the paint was scoured and oxidized. I think its a fairly new car but it had never seen wax and had been washed 1 or 2 times at best. It hads lot of rail dust too!! Had my buddie Mitch come up and help me with this one. had to finish up early so i coudl take my gf on a date.

Vaccum with use of heavy brushign to remove thick cat hair.

Looks good. Hard to tell the transormation but with the time constraints I can imagine how bad the before shots were. The hood shot does show the oxidation which is surprising for me for a car that new...but some people just don't care to have their car clean i guess. But for the interior judging by the amount of crap they have in there I bet that was really rough too. Anywho good job!

Greg,

FK stuff rocks huh?

What did the owner say?

 

[Mad iX]

That looks extremely clean now, better than new.
Can't wait to try #2180 and Pink Wax.

Awesome reflection on the hood! Great job & wish pictures were larger.

I just applied a coat of PW on our Sienna. Haven't used it in awhile (I was saving it) & don't know why. Looks excellent.
