This is a daily drive 2002 Accent with 160k on it. It looked really good from a distance. Once you get up close you can see it was swirled like no other. In the last 3 years it has never been properly washed. Driven through car washes and the "wax" of choice was Meguiars Quick Detailer wiped off with a cotton towel. Well onto the pics. One day I promise guys I will learn to take pictures. Washed with ONR Clayed with Clay Magic Blue and ONR Tires, wheels and wheel wells cleaned with Zep Citrus and ONR Tires dressed with FK 350 Wheel wells Armor All spray Window cleaned with FK 228 window cleaner PC 4" Orange LC Flat pad speed 6 M105 PC 4" White LC Flat pad speed 5 3 passes speed 3 2 passes M205 PC 4" Black LC Flat pad speed 4 Prima Amigo Meg D151 on the plastic around mirror, wiper cowl, trim around windows and B pillar The cowl was real bad had bad water spots and very faded, used the 151 to clean it up then applied FK 350 Optimum Opti Seal Optimum Car Wax Lots of Vroom Drying towels Lots of Superfly and Shag Rag Microfiber towels from the Rag Shack Headlights polished with PC 3.5" PFW pad and 105 4" LC Oranage pad 105 4" LC white pad 205 FK1 1000p Before After wash and Clay After M105 Headlights Before Headlights After My Beautiful Fiance cleaning the windows Car After
WOW, You did a awesome job. It looks great...:thumb: Your pictures really aren't that bad. Keep up the good work...:thumb:
Very well done! Opti-Seal is a nice LSP, but it becomes even better after you coat your painwork 3 times with 12 hour curing time. And water will bead up and sheet it off amazingly with 3 coats of Opti-Seal.
Nice recovery on the red! The plate is just AWESOME..I LOVE IT!! (sick bastards of the world unite!) Your fine eye is not just limited to detailing either there, sal...pretty fiance!! My photos are not usually the greatest either (I usually rush them) but I have learned to use a tripod which DEFINITELY helps in low light and in general.
Nice turn around :thumb: I'm with richy the vehicle is not the only purty item, congrats with the fiance and best part she's helping you out on a detail..she's a keeper, good move :thumb: As for the pictures, don't sweat it, it will come with practice
She is a keeper for sure. We have been together since Dec 04, she has a 12 yr old son from her first marriage and we have a 3 yr old together. Seems the odler she gets the younger she looks lol
My fiance pointed out that the Van I did and the Accent I did still look great. The Accent has not been washed since May 25 when it was detailed. It is driven 60 miles a day 5-6 days a week just for work. Outside all day parked in the garge for a few hours at night. It has rained and been very hot, one week we had rain just about everyday.
