    This vehicle was full of rids, holograms and swirls. The owner said it looked great when he first purchased it and then thought his washing technique was bad since he kept seeing more and more swirls and scratches. Well after looking at the vehicle it was obvious that someone did a nice glaze job for the sale of the vehicle. After a few days of paint correction it was brought back to the way it should look.

    I used the following products during the detail. Fein rotary, Kompressor and ccs pads, Megs 105 and 205, Ultrafina, Blackfire Wet Diamond, various wheel brushes, P21s wheel gel, P21s TAW, Solvent, Riccardo clay, PakShak WW's and microfibers.

    Note: You will notice the that the wheel barrels have spots in them, they are stained from whomever detailed the vehicle the first time. I went as far as soaking the spots with solvent and it would not remove them.

    Here are is what I started with.

    After washing the wheels there was some pretty bad brake dust etching for a vehicle with only 8500 miles on it.

    finally its been a while since you post up a detail. I think a steamer can knock those spots in wheels out??

    I rarely take pics of my details, been way too busy, i have 5 more of this things to do. I tried steam first then soaked it with solvent. So they are not coming out. The solvent I use is beyond strong and it normally gets rid of 99% of the things I apply it to, so if it doesn't get this out, it won't come out.
