Yeah, I don't think I'll ever be getting an H2. There is more real estate in paint on that thing than both my vehicles combined. Waxing that roof is like waxing a basketball court. I'm glad I'm tall and have long arms or else I wouldn't be able to pull it off. I'm going to have to fashion some microfiber booties and knee pads if I ever have to do one of these suckers again. Blech!!! Alright, I'll just let the pictures do the talking. The process was a wash, clay, light polish, and the hardest wax to buff off known to man.
Ohh, I have to tell you about how I obtained this concrete they call wax. I was at my local Checker (Kragen to some people) and noticed that they had a clearance table way in the back corner of the store. That is a lousy place for a clearance table, but it probably worked out best for me. Everything on the table was marked $2 bucks. I picked up three bottles of Meguiar's Quick Wheel Detailer for less than what one bottle usually costs.
That was a good thing. They also had some of those DuPont "teflon" products that I figured for $2 bucks it was worth a shot. I got the spray wax and the liquid wax. The shine is really good on it, but it is ridiculously hard to buff off. I ended up having to put a white Edge pad on the PC, soaking the panel with QD, and then buffing with that. Then I wiped with a microfiber and went over it again with another microfiber. It was a pretty crappy process. It took an hour to buff this muck off. So that is a big NO to the DuPont teflon wax if speed is a concern.
The truck was dropped off at 4:00 and I finished it up at 9:00, so the sun was pretty much gone when I finished, but he was a good guy and brought it out to my office this morning so I could do a final detail on whatever I possibly missed last night and also get some pictures. It was a full interior, exterior, engine job because he is turning it back in from his lease on Saturday. This was a big (and I do mean BIG) project that probably didn't earn me nearly as much as it should, but he was a relative of a good client and I was cutting him a good deal in the hopes of future referals. So anyway, here you go...
Whew!!
