PS Detailed Quickie writeup S65 AMG F430 LS460l and BMW 750li All black and one red.

I made a mistake by applying Pinnacle Vinyl Protectant on my convertible top. It looked fantastic, until I drove in the rain. Thats when it all dripped down everywhere!! I have used 303 in the past but was wondering if that is a good product for a top or if there is anything better??

The original solvent or carrier is water for the PDMS and therefore the rain desolved the dressing that was attached to the vinyl.



Here is a little trick to reduce that , keeping in mind that all dressings are just that, a dress you put on a material to make it look a little better for a short time.



Put on a light coat, let it almost dry and then buff it dry with a towel. This "sets" the resin, don't care what name is on the bottle, all the PDMS dressings are basic, just different resin content.

Bret and I put 23 manhours into this S65 a few weeks ago. I think it was near 9p by the time we left.

KBM via surbuf/M105, then M205/Black. Z5pro.

On Tuesday and Wednesday of last week, I drove down to Montgomery, AL to polish out this Lexus Ls460l. 20 hours over 2 days.

Surbuf/M105 followed by black /M205. Blackfire sealant.

Thursday the next day, Bret and I returned to the clients house with the S65 AMG and polished his 06 F430. Of course it was dark out when we got done.

Orange LC/M105 followed by black LC/M205. Z5pro.

Drove up to Columbus, OH w/ family and polished my brothers 2006 BMW 750li this past Monday and Tuesday. 18-20 hours over 3 days. Lots of wetsanding on previous paint touch up and deeper scratches. Surbuf/M105 followed by LC black/M205 via KBM. Z5pro.

Full writeups to come one day.

Bryan, you and Bret are the Detailing Masters !!!

Such beautiful, careful, work on those messed up rides !!!

I have never tried a L/C black pad with 205, but now you have me thinking I need to do that more often.

Congratulations on such beautiful work - the owners have to be just stunned!!!

Thanks for sharing !!

Hey Bryan/Bret, you've been busy! Here in the KC area, the detailing business has really slowed down... same story every year. April to October I can't keep up with it... November to March, I can't BUY a detail job!

Nice work!!!:clap::drool5:

Those 50/50 shots were amazing, nice work, very beautiful cars.

 

[imported_Auto Concierge]

The cars all came out great!!, the Lexus I am sure was really smooth as they have one of the best O.E. finishes imo.

Thanks Camo! I usually start out on a door for my test panel. Tape it off half way and polish it out. If the client is home, I try and show him how it will look.

nice turn arounds on those black beauties... now i don't feel so bad knowing that it does take many hours to do a full correction. with my old plumbers back i have to do my cars in sections... hood and front fenders one day, doors and top the next and finally trunk and rear fenders...whew... i be tired and sore too.

Thank you glfahlc! Real correction does take time.
