Owner wants to trade in for a new car and wanted it to look good before she took it in. They dont have a garage so claying was a PITA. I did have one problem with the car and that was that I could not really clean the headliner very well. There were some strange stains and water/woolite, shout stain remover, and oxiclean did even touch. I also decided to give #16 a try on something other then my black tahoe and I couldnt really see that well and put on the coat to thick. Was a bare to get off, had to go back over the entire car with Final Inspection to make sure it all came off. But besides those things it went rather smoothly.

Very nice. That would almost make me reconsider trading it in. I don't know what the interior looked like before, but it looks amazing for light colored carpet.

She has 2 boys and 1 baby girl. Also 2 small dog that ride with her in the car. Sad thing is the second I dropped off the car she came out to inspect it with dog in hand. Opened door and sat down and let the dog loose. Jumped all over front seat, I just laughed. I tried to take before pictures but my battery was dead so I put it on the recharger while I worked.
 
Very nice glow for silver paint! Excellent job on the interior as well.



I hear ya' on using #16 on light colors. You have to look at each panel at an angle to make sure you aren't piling it on too thick. Oh well, the end results are worth it, IMO. :)

Lesson Learned on lighter colored cars. I just orderd some Souveran Paste and was wondering if application is the same.

Yes, same deal. It looks almost clear going on. Souveran wipes off more easily though.

You gave away about $150.00 doing it for a $100 + increased it's value - god knows how many thousands of $$$ m2c



BTW, excellent work and pictures.
 
First up...You are far underselling yourself. That car should be at least $150, but more like $200.





Second, awesome work :cool: . Everything looks top notch from here.
