    Dear friends,

    this is my first detail here. I am sorry, because I took only few photos (I do not have any 50/50 or pictures during the process) and the AFTER pictures were taken using my cell phone. I promise the next detail will be richer in details. I also did not have an inspection light.

    Special thanks to Billy, who introduced me to the beautiful world of detailing.

    SETUP:

    The car was already washed, which was good because I had to start late night and it saved some time. I also did not clay the car because I ran out of clay bar and I could not buy one at that time (8 PM). The car was almost brand new (5 K) and the paint was very smooth.

    MACHINE:
    Bosch GPO 14E

    PAINT CORRECTION:
    The car was almost new, but it had some swirls done by carwashers

    Products used:

    Malco Lite finish with yellow LC pad. Started at 800 RPM to spread the product and then 1200 and 1400 with medium pressure and then I came back to 1200 RMP

    Malco Swirl remover with white LC pad. Started at 800 RPM to spread the product and then 1200 with low pressure and came back to 800 RPM.

    LSP:

    Glaze: CG Ez Glaze
    Sealant: CG M-Seal
    Wax: Malco Banana Creme
    QD: Malco Showroom Shine

    Thank you all for looking! All comments are very wellcome!

    Thank you for viewing! It took me 15 hours. I took me a lot of time to find out the best combination of products and pads.

    Maybe after 50 cars I will be able to do a car in 14 hours instead of 15!
