I went to take care of one of my bi-weekly customers today and when I got there this was in his garage.
A Rolls Royce Phantom
Room enough for just about anybody back there. I think it was designed for famous basketball players.
Not a bad looking engine.
That is after I detailed it. I took some pics of some marring and swirls. The car was attacked by a bad detailer who not only swirled up the car but also left compound mess in the cracks.:huh:
Here are some befores:
Typical marring. Wish I had some of that acrylic conditioner stuff.
Notice the swirl lines running back and forth. This detailer had some fun. :dnaughty
Not what you would expect to see on a 475k close to new car. :wow:
Right after I took the before shots the sun went in the clouds so the after shots of those areas are gonna have to wait until I return in two weeks.
It's the first car that I had to use a ladder to buff the roof. These things are big.
It was an easy correction. No claying was necessary. I used Meguiar's 105 and a Four Star white polishing pad with my FLEX on speed 5 and light pressure. Turned out great. So easy a ... well you know.
I then applied Four Star UPP with a purple foamed wool pad on the FLEX at speed 6 using only the weight of the buffer. This is proving to be a super fast and efficient way to apply the UPP. You use very little product this way. A thin 3" line of product was enough to do each panel.
What I like about using the PFW pad is it's ability to coat all the intricate areas with no fear of harming the pad or getting product built up in the crevices. The trick to this is to buff the intricate areas after you have buffed a panel using just the residual sealant left in the pad. This method leaves very little if any residue to remove. If you think you have to use more product than what I just said to use then this method is not for you.
