hey guys!! heres the latest detail i did



this car had some SERIOUS SERIOUS swirling, and was generally filthy inside and out



the owner also dropped it off about 2 hours later than i wanted it and i finished at 1030 PM so the after pics aren't as good as they should be - i woulda done it at his house but he had no garage space and i wasn't about to detail in the dark



the fenderwells didnt really have anything in them except for body panelling that had been undercoated so my cleaning didn't do much there LOL



the owner was really happy with the car and it was a huge improvement over what it was before - i really wish i coulda done a 2 stage polish - it woulda gotten the car truly glasslike - the owner just wanted a 1 stage though



anyways heres the befores and the afters - the process was my favourite optimum combos

I'm in the same boat at that law firm I've been detailing a bunch of cars at. I'd much rather multi-step the paint but not for free. Good thing that Optimum Polish and the white Cyclo pads worked very well on a severely swirled Honda I did there on Monday, didn't get them all but the improvement was massive. Definitely got out all the body shop rotary holograms but only reduced the halo swirls about 85%. What are you going to do, right?



Looks like you made a considerable improvement in that Jag. What you might want to do is point out the remaining swirls and let him know that with a 2 step polishing process you can probably remove the vast majority of them. Then again, some people really don't care as long as the paint is shiny. :nixweiss

What optimum did you use? Also PC or Rotary? Looks great!

since he wanted a 1 step i used optimum compound but used a white lake country polishing pad, hoping the the more agressive combo would help get rid of more defects and it did



this was done via PC - i know im eventually going to have to start using the rotary for serious defects, but i need to practice more with it first
