Recent Details - v. Overcoming Arachnophobia x 2 and a Horse Trailer

Thanks all :).





Joe: Belongs to the Beetle owner. I have their Silverado, 4Runner, and Ferrari to do very soon.



X-trail: I've heard this one before :D...Maybe if someone brings a video camera to the PB meet it will happen.



Scott: Props to you...That horse trailer was a BIG job and not easy (staining was a PITA). I still remember the oxidized red one you did :).
 
Great work Sean. I can't believe the tranformation on the color of the Beatle. Its like a totally different car.



Why did you use Banana Wax and then Optimum Wax back to back on the Eclipse??? Are they both carnuabas??? Was the Banana wax from CG??
 
looks really good sean. My friend has a white eclipse like that and the clear is a big pita and its swirled to **** like that too. i did a fender for him for demo purposes and it took forever. you did a great job on all the vehilces. nice work.

Well I Have been using this for about 10 years now and I have been very happywith it my first gallon lasted a very long time and never seporated or went bad. I'll tell you what it says on the bottle..





""Banana wax provies the high gloss and durabllity of carauba wax in an easy to use liquid formulation. In one step it removes light oxidation with out scratching while producing an increadible depth of shine""



This is from a Chemical man out pf philly and it doen't have a web addie



aperance materials.
 
Great work as usual.



For those clay intensive works (even staining) I recommend GLARE liquiclay. Excellent first step.



I can send you a sample so you can try it in the next tough detail. For mild claying or paint in god condition it is not better than regular clay (similar performance but more expensive) However in these tough jobs it will really help (Eclipse and horse trailer)

You are the master! Very nice work as always.



That trailer is a beast. Did you say 'What the hell did I get myself into' 15 minutes into the job?



Scottwax's comments about the Eclipse owner had me blowing diet coke on my monitor.
 
Killer work Sean! Awesome transformations :xyxthumbs



Getting the rotary around that beetle must be nutty :eek:



A couple quick questions -



I understand #66 to be a one step that includes a wax. Why did you go from #66 to FPII (wax to polish)?



Isn't Liquid Souveran a little expensive to use on wheels?! Just curious.



I detailed a smaller trailer like that. I also detailed the same guy's riding mower collection. I don't know about you, but working on cars is a lot more enjoyable!
 
Great work. I've seen you mention the Eagle one wheel acid in most of your details but where do you get it? I checked Eagle one's site and every wheel cleaner I come across says acid free. I'm pulling my wheels off to clean the inside and wanted something to cut the grime and it sounded like something I could use.

:lol ...and if you also remember, I did it all by hand! :p
 
Pat: I used the Banana Wax then used the OCW to remove the haze.





AlexRuiz: I am interested, thank you. I will PM you for more info.





mgm: I was just like "damn this is a lot of work"...considering it was a full hour for just a wash.





Seth: Let's just say I have a new respect for Beetle's now. The curves certainly keep you on your feet.



The 66 is a cut of 4 where I'd say the FPII is a 2. I used the 66 and pulled the car into full sun. There was an ever so slight buffer haze that was only visible if you moved your eyes over the surface. I wanted to make it closer to perfect so FPII was necessary. The LS spread for ever for me so a touch extra was no biggie as the pad was already dampened with it. Yup, the trailer got boring quick :(.

Scott: I remember this! Insane.
