This is the power of Woolite and water (6:1 ratio) on a dirty mat from a Sebring. Half cleaned then fully cleaned.

Next is a 1936 Studebaker street rod. Steel front end, the rest is fiberglass. Full leather interior. I used Woolite and water to clean the interior and on the exterior, Poorboy's Polish w/carnauba and a polishing pad and topped with Natty's Paste Wax. As you can see, even on light colors, Natty's looks very wet!

2003 Lexus ES 300. I used the Wolfgang twins on it in late May and did a QEW wash on it a couple days ago and topped with the Wolfgang QD. Prior to washing, there still was beading and surface slickness. Car is garaged at night and run through a conveyer style car wash once or twice a month.

2002 Yukon XL (yes, the one with the sap). Meguiars #80 Speed Glaze (mostly) and a cutting pad on the horizontal surfaces, then with a polishing pad over the whole vehicle. Finished with Poorboy's EX w/carnauba.

1999 Galant. Decent shape, so Poorboy's PwC with a polishing pad and EX-P by hand.

2004 Hummer H2. About 3 months old and in excellent shape. PwC with a polishing pad and EX w/carnauba. Meguiars Hyper Dressing (D-170, I think) cut 2:1 on the tires and fenderwells.

This one was fun[/sarcasm]. Owned by a chain smoker so the leather seats were pretty nasty. Interior pics came out too dark so they are pretty much worthless. :(



Anyway, used Meguiars #80 Speed Glaze and a polishing pad and NXT with a polishing pad. Pics are a touch dark, it was near dusk when I finished.

2003 Mercury Maruader. Regular weekly customer but it hadn't been waxed in about 6 months since he garages it about 95% of the time. Had some spider swirling since when he drives it to Jackson, he has it washed there at a conveyer style car wash. Meguiars #80 Speed Glaze with a polishing pad and NXT with a polishing pad.

You really love that #80.



Told ya! :o



Great work :xyxthumbs



Cool hot rod too :cool: How funny, I have my new issue of Hot Rod magazine sitting next to me!
 
Great job! All the cars look so wet! What I like about your posts is that you always do something different with something. For this post you tried the meguiars dressing cut 2:1 on the tires and fenderwells on that hummer. That Studebaker looks like a tough car to work on with a pc.
 
great work as usual Scott! :xyxthumbs



what did you use on the leather of that chain-smoker one? the woolite mix?

Yes. Sprayed it on, used a small plastic bristle scrub brush to deep clean the leather, then wiped off with a clean towel. Worked like a charm!



series1-there were more than a few areas I had to work by hand on that Studebaker.



It ended up being an 'emergency' detail. My customer called me that morning and asked if there was any way I could work the car in because he had a representative of a buyer coming to look at the car at 8 PM that night. He said he'd make it worth my while (and he did!). I was wrapping it up when the lady showed up to look at the car. She was talking to the buyer on the phone and mentioned to him the car was so freshly detailed the detailer was still there!



tdekany-I talked to my brother about it and he would see if he could set something up. Either that or a DVD. :nixweiss

Excellent!!!!



Please keep me/us posted and if it does happen, we should announce it so people can get an early Xmas feeling! Thanks.
 
Damn...All look great as usual.



Don't like the H2, but that one is pretty hot. I like the rims a lot.



How do you like Hyper Dressing? Looks a touch glossier than AA. How's it do with slinging? rain? browning?





Can you give any updates on EX/ EX-P durability?



:bounce
 
All your work looks excellent as usual :xyxthumbs



Why did you cut the tire dressing 2:1 and did you cut it with water??

Sean-I'm getting 4-5 months of beading and decent slickness using PwC/EX combo, not sure how long exactly I can get from EX-P since the longest I've gone before rewaxing (customer requests) after using it is about 3 months. Seems to be protecting fine at that point. Frankly, given some of the early reviews of EX, I wasn't sure what to expect but I'm pretty happy at this point.



At 2:1, Hyper Dressing is a bit glossier than AA, so I might try 2.5:1 or 3:1. You can cut it up to 4:1 for a matte finish. .



I really like that H2 too. First red one I have ever seen. They also have a red Lexus SC430 that I am sure Dean would

over. I've just QEW washed and QDed it, I'll take pics when I actually detail it. Garage queen, so Souveran will probably be involved. ;)



Option 13-Hyper Dressing is meant to be cut with water, the ratio depends on the level of shine you want. 1:1 is very glossy. 4:1 is a matte finish and you can try a range between the two to get the level of gloss you want.
