2004 Ford Excursion, regular customer, last deep polished this winter. Paint still looked really good, just did an Optimum No Rinse wash and sealed with Optimum Car Wax.

How did you apply the opt wax? Just spray/wipe? I did a truck today I had a hard time spreading the wax (it was 90 degrees out with high humidity)





looks great
 
2000 Chevy Suburban, only 28,000 miles on it. Owned by a sorority's main office, mostly used to ferry people around town and pick-ups at the airport. Sits outside 24/7. Definitely took some heavy claying on all horizontal surfaces and even light claying on the sides. Swirls really weren't bad, probably just goes through the touchless at the car wash every so often. Went with Optimum Compound using a white LC polishing pad and buffed off with Optimum Car Wax and topped with Poorboy's EX-P.

Mist and wipe and it works best applied out of the sun. It was in the mid 90s with low humidity when I did that Excursion-right were it sits in the pics.
 
1998 Toyota Tacoma. My brother-in-Law just bought it to replace his Audi S4. He needed something bigger and so the Audi had to go. Just under 70k on this Tacoma, overall in decent shape but has single stage white paint. Pics really didn't turn out that good, cloudy day and white paint just doesn't work well with my camera, he's going to take a few with his and send them to me.



Anyway, here is a before shot-after washing and dressing the tires and fendwells but before any polishing steps:

After polishing with Meguiars DACP using a Meguiars polishing pad, Werkstatt's Prime with a white LC polishing pad and topped with Acrylic Jett. Vanilla Moose on all the trim and chrome. The difference in person was so much more noticable, just didn't translate well to film.

Excellent work on the Tacoma. I had a white Tacoma and I can totally relate to your experiences photographing that truck. The look in person never translated well through my camera.
 
that excursion is amazing!



I do one regularly, and man, it's not the easiest thing to wash or wax without a ladder. even standing on open door sills!



looks amazing!
 
scott, the "glassyness" of the paint on that excursion is freakin' nutz!! awesome work as always, and keep up the good work
