Washed and Waxed: '07 Tahoe and '06 VW Bug

Mobile Detailing Services
These are two of my first clients.

They both, once again, recieved the same process. I polished them both about a month ago so no aggressive polishing here. I did do something different this time. I had some Woolite mixed 2:1 and when I started on the Tahoe, I pre-soaked it entirely with the mix. I let it sit for 5 minutes and took my Karcher to it. Holy smokes! Bugs and road grime slid off! Couldn't believe it. Plus it did not remove any of my previous wax as it still beaded. Just wanted to let you know about this find.

Here's what else they got....



Meguiar's NXT

(Added 2 teaspoons of Dawn for extra cleaning power.)



FK1 #2180 Sealant

(Used Edge2K Blue Pad at #4. Let sit for 15 minutes and remove by PC and MF bonnet. Waited 1 hour before applying wax.)



Souveran Liquid Wax

(Used Edge2K White Pad at #3. Let haze and removed by hand.)





Other Products used:

FK1 Protectant

(Dash, leather, and all plastic.)

Woolite 8:1

(Used to clean all plastic and leather. Wiped down with clean, wet MF to remove any soap left. Also used to clean Bug's rag top.)



Woolite 2:1

(Used to presoak all exterior panels.....WORKED!)

Armor All Extreme Tire Gel

(Two coats. About 30 minutes between each)



Megs APC 4:1

(Used to remove bugs on front, windshield and mirrors. Also used on tires, wheels, and inner fenders.)



Stoners Invisible Glass



FK1 #425

(Used on LCD screens, instrument cluster, laminated plastic trim, and all exterior glass.)

I like the sealant due the short cure time. Not many people have a garage that they can stick their ride in for 24 hours. Was very slick with nice depth. Was very easy to apply and remove. Stains a white pad though. I have one dedicated for this product alone.

For 22.00 including shipping, it's the best deal out there!
 
Brilliant work on both these cars.



The Chevloret - the white is really wet and glossy looking, its supberb - white can be a difficult colour to get looking sweet, but you've done a cracking job of it there.



The bug - well, Ilove red cars when they've just been detailed, and its a super glossy finish you got on it!



Great work! :2thumbs:
 
awesome! (do you work in the canton/cumming area (where I live)?)



You used the 2:1 woolite on the outside of the car and let sit for 5 minutes? and sorry for the ignorence, but what is a Karcher?
