Good Evening,





These details have been accumulated and (hand) picked to be posted. They belong to fellow internet board members (you know who you are) and proved to be very kind and pleasant customers to deal with (thanks!)





First up, a Saab 9-5 Aero.



Generally speaking, the car was in nice shape. The owner picked it up used so there was some heavy swirling, but other than that, just normal soil levels. My finals were:



-Meguiar's Overspray Clay

-Hi-Temp Extreme Cut/OCP (50/50) via rotary and LC Cutting Pad @ 1500 rpm

-Blackfire Ceramiclear Polish via rotary and LC Polishing Pad @ 1200 rpm

-Z6 wipedown

-Z5 Pro (ZFX'd) by hand



-Z16 on tires/trim

-CD-2 Engine Detailer in wells

Next up, a Lexus RX330.





Relatively new and in very nice shape. I worked on the scratches (garage door mishap) for about an hour. With them, I sanded the rough edges, touched-up x 2, wetsanded, compounded, polished, and sealed. My finals on the rest were:



-Meguiar's Overspray Clay

-Hi-Temp Extreme Cut/OCP (50/50) via rotary and LC Cutting Pad @ 1500 rpm (spot buff)

-Blackfire Ceramiclear Polish via rotary and LC Polishing Pad @ 1200 rpm

-Z6 wipedown

-Z5 Pro (ZFX'd) by hand



-Z16 on tires/trim

-CD-2 Engine Detailer in wells

Yes, wow! I couldn't believe the flake!
 
Last up, same owner, Scion xB.





The vehicle is a project car (crazy setup inside) and is parked most of the time. It was recently clayed and waxed by the owner, which helped my work a little bit (thanks, Frank). My finals were:





-Meguiar's Overspray Clay

-Hi-Temp Extreme Cut/OCP (50/50) via rotary and LC Cutting Pad @ 1500 rpm

-Blackfire Ceramiclear Polish via rotary and LC Polishing Pad @ 1200 rpm

-Z6 wipedown

-Z5 Pro (ZFX'd) by hand



-Z16 on tires/trim

-CD-2 Engine Detailer in wells

I also want to thank Scottwax for the referral on the Lexus and Scion :D.







Questions/Comments/Advice, please feel free.
 
The scratches on the Lexus came out very well - you can tell you spent a lot of time on it. That xB is crazy, I *love* the closeup metallic shot! What else can I say, you do awesome work.
 
Wow that RX330 and the flakes it look pretty sweet. By any chance do you have any shots of the roof on that RX330? I have same one coming this Sunday(Farther's day).
 
Excellent work on all three, Sean. Glad the referral turned into some good business for you, I know he posted on OT about how thrilled he was with the work you did.



:)
 
Ken: Nope, sorry. It's not a bad one to tackle. If in bad shape, you might want to remove the racks. If you forget a step ladder, just stand in the door jams, but place an MF down first.



Scott: Thank you, again.







Thanks!
 
Great work as always man :bow I have a question for you.....when you use your Hi-temp/OCP mix, do you pre-mix it in a bottle or do you lay a line of each down on a panel? Also, what color cutting pad have you been using with that combo? Thanks.....
