They weren't really paying me for swirl removal, they were selling the turck and just wanted it cleaned up a bit more then it was and so I figured what they heck, I need the practice on the Makita anyways.......truck was a 92-93 toyota tacoma with too many miles.



Here's the process:



ONR wash

Meg's Tire Foam

Claybar

Makita and Menzerna Power Gloss with LC orange pad at 1500 (2 passes slow and 2 passes fast, then turned down to 900 and 2 passses slow and 2 passes fast)

Makita and Menzerna IP with LC orange pad at 1500 (2 passes slow and two passes fast, then down 900 and 2 passes slow and 2 passes fast)

You are right, but they weren't paying for swirls, matter of fact they weren't paying for much more the single stage polish job, but once I saw the condition I had to knock it out.:waxing:



I only did enough to cut 90-95% of them out. I had 3 more cars to do after that truck and didn't plan on spending that much time on it, so it was only going to get so much TLC, but I just couldn't leave it looking the way it was with a coat of wax you know what I mean.....?:)
 
How long did your generousity take? :lol

Hopefully you didnt spend to much time on something you werent being paid for.

About 4 1/2 hours from start to finish on extior.

They always take good care of me, I've done about 6 of there cars now. That beater, an 04 Maxima, 04 Ram, Crotch rocket, 04 CE Z06 450RWHP LPE H/C track car, an old 93 Maxima and I think that's about it.......



I really did it for the car and new owners, but the current owners were blown away and very appreciative. My business stance is to always underpromise and overdeliver and do what's in the best interest of the car's long term condition.:usa

Huge improvement Josh. Looks 1000x better, even if it isn't 100% perfect. Really nice glow to the paint in the after shots too. :)

Yea, I wish I just had a full day to work on a car and completely recondition it top to bottom inside out and all around, but most won't pay what it's worth I think.

haaha nah, they still sold it and the new owner was extremely happy with it's condition.

The old owner was happy that the new owner felt like he got a better deal.
