i did two passes of iron removal on the roof and there was still junk leftover so i took ssw and my bug mesh micro and it took out most of the remaining junk

i probably should have used the mesh towel when the iron remover was dwelling but i covered it with ss+foam then bucket washed

a few of those spots were chips but some of that funk was still there

when i pulled the vehicle into garage i was greeted by this wonderful sight post red nanoskin clay sponge

hood

I called owner and advised how I could remedy the oxidation/soap stain buildup and advised I`d also throw in glass and headlight polishing for X price
game on, now this is a job I can really get into...

enter Poorboy`s Polish w Carnauba (pwc-regular)

this was the only pb polish i havent tried yet, so I chose it over pws which is running low

just like all the other pw products this one simply performs and is an absolute joy to work with and smells like tropical sun tan lotion :) pina colada i think but could be wrong

lhr 21 mk2 , rupes yellow pad, speed 4

thanks for viewing


edit: finish is pwc only, no nattys topper but i did use spray and gloss after each panel
 
thank you

well, rooster was pecking around in my wash buckets that i had placed on my front porch and ot knocked over my Iron Remover causing it to spray a little bit now I have red spots on my front porch

i heard a noise and then found that little booger fleeing the scene

i think it likes shine
 
as a side note i forgot to mention that while detailing I like to check out the buttons etc in all the vehicles just out of curiosity, plus we clean intricate areas, etc so it just happens that we look around and I`m naturally curious

anyways, there was a push button under the left drivers side dash for the auto doors, which was turned off

with the simple press of a button (which was deactivated previously) the doors opened/closed themselves, all you had to do was pull the handle

well the owner had never realized that, so I also was able to give the owner that benefit

That alone should be worth the price of the detail.

i had barely finished cleaning them when the customer arrived. didn`t get a chance to take a pic. some of the gunk required scrubbing, and they weren`t 100% but looked a lot better

i needed a more powerful steamer, my mculloch was gonna take a long time to do them so i opted for the rw, probably should have used a light apc (1:15 or 10) dilution ratio first
