Today's detail - ALL Meguiar's

[Thomas Dekany]

This was a free detail for my Accountant who has been very good to me and looks out for me. The paint was in terrible shape and looked more gray in some places than white. Unfortunately I still haven't figured out my camera to show dirt on white although the firs picture shows it somewhat in the front fender and rear door.

The inside was a mess and all I did was vacuum and wipe the dash and clean the windows. It would need half a day to get it look presentable, but looks much better now.

Looks good, but you bent the Mercadies emblem :O

 

[MongooseGA]

Look at thos reflections!



Why did you choose a polishing pad over a cutting pad?

 

[Thomas Dekany]

because the paint wasn't damaged. It was only dirty and oxidized. No need for cutting.



Thanks!!

 

[Scottwax]

Wow! Real nice improvement! Good thing those single stage white Mercedes paint jobs are pretty thick because everyone who has one seems to let it go until it is badly oxidized.



Those hood shots are among the best I've seen of white paint! :bow

Great job! That white looks good. Not that it matters but they need new stickers on those tags.

That is amazing work! Superb!!! To bad you didnt do the interior, because that should be in the Xtreme detailing contest (Just not this months, LOL).

 

[Thomas Dekany]

LightngSVT - thanks!I don't think it was an Xtreme detail. Just dirt removal



vdog0531 - gracias!



General Lee - danke! I'll let him know... that would be weird if it is expired.



Scottwax - thanks for the kind words. I actually offered my cervices to him. He doesn't seem to care much about car care, although he did ask me how he should try to keep it clean. He was very pleased with his new finish.



Buick_guy1 - thanks! It is adjustable so it is all good. I am not in trouble.

 

[ScubaStevo]

lol. I knew it was. I was just pullin your chain

 

[Thomas Dekany]

Ohhhh... wise guy hah?

You're dealing with teens here, come on!



Does the guy have any plans to fix his head light?

 

[Thomas Dekany]

and I am a comedian!



I really doubt that he'll do anything with the car except drive it.

 

[Thomas Dekany]

just wasting time and noticed that I had another shot I wanted to post.

BEAUTIFUL job!! :xyxthumbs



I like your sign too...that is a great idea.

 

[Thomas Dekany]

thanks 1 Clean WS6 - whille I paid $140.00 from a shop, I found the sign itself on line for $40 - $55. It is called an #A FRAME#

 

[Spilchy]

Nice work! Great turn around.



What did you use on the wheels?



If you have a LC yellow pad, it would help with the DACP's cutting action in removing the defects / marring.

 

[Thomas Dekany]

thanks!



wheels - simple green 50/50



yellow pads - I have them, but there were no defects in the paint.
