Now that the chance of daily scattered showers that plagued the first 7-10 days of October have passed into non stop sunshine, I have been swamped lately. Should be that way all the way through Christmas, weather permitting. The rush is on!
Here are a couple more pics of that Acura MDX I posted last time (Optimum/Glanz Wax):
================
2003 Dodge Ram with a HEMI! Some mostly light spider swirling but heavy, heavy water spots on the passenger side. I asked him if he parks near any sprinklers and he says since garage space is limited, he parks the truck out on the street and guesses when his sprinklers come on, they hit the truck. Gee, ya think?
I started off with Optimum Compound and a Meguiars cutting pad, which removed the water spots but left some light marring on the passenger side doors, but not the bed or front fender. That and the light overspray inside the passenger side door jams along the bottom of the cab lead me to believe the passenger doors have been repainted at some point, although the customer says he bought the truck new and never had any body damage repaired. Come to find out the truck was actually a demo, driven by the sale's manager. :hm
Anyway, I followed with Meguiars #83 DACP and a Meguiars polishing pad on the passenger side doors which removed the light marring and also on the hood to remove some spider swirls. I then went over the whole truck with Optimum Polish and a Meguiars polishing pad, then sealed with Poorboy's EX w/carnauba. This truck took a lot longer than I expected, I was there nearly 5 hours instead of the typical 2.5-3 an exterior detail on a truck that size takes me. The owner gave me a very generous tip since the water spotting took so long to correct.
By the time I finished, the sun was behind his house and I didn't have the keys to move it into a better place to take pics, so in the shot of the rear of the truck, the background, which was still fully in the sun, ended up over exposed. Shoot me. :nixweiss
===============
The next three are at an office I regularly do one step exterior details for their monthly top performers. Last time, I used Vanilla Moose since it was around 100 degrees and no shade anywhere. Luckily, this time it was mid October so it was only 92 that day!
Long Haul Polish/Wax with a Meguiars polishing pad on all three.
2001 BMW 325ci. I do this one practically every time I go out there. Apparently he is their top performer every month. BTW, the Vanilla Moose was still beading, 5 weeks after application.
