This car is the latest one I have done. It looked OK outside but once cleaned, the swirls and effects of the car wash were evident. Just my usual arsenal of products on this one although I did try a mixture I had made up a while ago of 75/25 85rd/RMG. I'd like to try it with DWG/85rd too. All in all a 12 hour job. The Process: Wheels/Wells/Tires: Wheels got Megs WB Tires & Wells cleaned with Kleenol (10:1) Wheels subsequently polished with DG 501 then sealed with JS Tires subsequently treated with DP gel Wells treated with Adams Wash: 2 bucket method using DG soap and grout sponge Exhaust tips cleaned with Megs WB (thanks JL for that tip) Paint: Clayed with Riccardo blue and ONR lube Compounded using X3 or PG with a rotary and purple foamed wool at 1500 rpm Polished using a 75/25 mixture of 85rd/RMG using a rotary with a blue pad at 1000 rpm Cleaned using DG 501 with a UDM and a black pad at #2 DG 601 applied by hand DG 105 applied via UDM and small blue pad at #2 AW after curing period Chrome cleaned with DG 501 and sealed with 105 Head/Tail Lights: Head lights were compounded with X3 and small purple foamed wool pad using rotary at 1500 rpm then cleaned with DG 501 using rotary and small blue pad and sealed with DG 105 Tail lights polished with 85rd/RMG combo using rotary and small black pad then cleaned with DG 501 via rotary followed by DG 105 Interior/Glass: Glass cleaned with IG and 2 mf system Mats spot treated with Folex then steam cleaned Carpeting steam cleaned Leather surfaces steam cleaned then treated with DG Leather treatment Plastic surfaces cleaned with ONR then treated with 303 Jams cleaned with ONR and then treated with AW Wood treated with AW BEFORES: Riccardo at work: Mark in the hood: AFTERS: Daddy's Little Helper: Check out the jams:
richy, That thing looks great. It looked liked there was no hope for it but you saved it. Nice going. Whats your secret...:worship2:
Nice work richy..let me ask you ask you question did you have any trouble with the paint buffer trails etc..
Joe..it's funny you ask that..I had to re-do the rear passenger door. I hit it with 106 and a white pad then went back to the blue pad with the mixture. thanks Al!! yukon..thanks bud
Great work as always richy. Man I do love to see your show and shines. How anyone could look at your work and not make the DG 501/601/105 combo a staple in there supplies is beyond me. Heck you got me buying the 501 and 105 by the gallon! Oh and man does Megs WB do a phenomenal job on Caddy wheels or what!
AR..thank you so much. I was very proud of the end result! JL..thank you sir! I must admit you've got my attention with the BH line, but I have too many supplies as it is to try something new. Not to mention, I am still testing some stuff for Jerry..he's sending me a different one this week or next...a cool 3 part system..should be interesting.
I can't wait to hear about this new 3 part system. Sounds very interesting. Make sure to keep us updated on it. Oh and the BH line up is great!
