This is a detail of my sister's 1999 VW Jetta that I did this past Memorial Day weekend at the beach. I like to call it the "Mercy Detail" because the car was trashed. But hey...What are big brothers for right?? Since my 1967 Nova is stored in her garage I guess I was obligated to take care of it I did tell her to invest in some new wheel covers as well Nothing spectacular...just alot of time and fighting the sun even with my EZ Up Canopy. Process: Day One (4 hours Interior) Clean entire interior with combo of Woolite 6:1 and APC 10:1 Steam Cleaned most fabric surfaces Dress interior with Sonus Total Eclipse Day Two (5 Hours-Exterior) Wheels cleaned with Megs All Wheel Cleaner Tires Dressed with Meguiars Hot Shine Tire Spray Polish hood and truck with 105 via Makita 9227 and foamed purple wool Polish with Optimum Polish via Makita 9227 and white Sonus SFX pad and 4 inch LC CCS pad LSP=Wolfgang 3.0 Sealant via UDM and Sonus Blue pad Glass cleaned with Eagle One 20/20 All exterior trim dressed with NXT Tech Protectorant This is the first time I had a chance to try the new Wolfgang 3.0 Sealant. I feel it is huge improvement over the original version. I applied it via the UDM and a Sonus Blue DAS pad. The Wolfgang applied very easy with no streaking. I allowed it to haze and buffed with a the new Cobra Miracle Towel. WOW..the flake really came out in the finish and it was so easy to remove. I am curious to see how it holds up durability wise compared to the older verison of Wolfgang. Pros: Easy to apply and remove Removal is a breeze Very crisp sealant look Cons: None. Pics:
Solid work as always Pat!! How did you like M105? What speed did you use it at and did you put it on the paint or the pad? So far I love M105 and have had no issues with it and I am just wondering your experience:thumb:
Well 105 definitely has a learning curve. I found the best way to work it was to put it on the paint and use it at about 1500 rpms. I would work it for about 15-20 seconds. Anymore and it would gum up and be like concrete to remove. If I used too much it would cause splatter...
Pat ..as always ..a great job....you do some great interior work also..as I always tell you...the paint looks like new....M105 is some nice stuff..has a learning curve to it to get the great results it can produce....I have tried a few so far and I am getting a system down now... I actually got some great results with the Flex the other day....low speed and white pad...on a rotary 1000 rpm with a purple foam wool...both worked great so far...using the pick up method... Al
Great work as usual Pat. Man that green looks soooo good and I'm not a real fan of green but that looks incredible. Nice job on everything! Oh and yeah the wheel covers need to go they look like Gorbachev's forehead!
Now THAT had me laughing!! Pat..great job on the paint and the interior..looks showroom new. I agree about the wheel covers.
(LOL at JL Gorbachev's forehead) As always you do awesome work....Love the way that green paint looks:applause:...I really like WG 3.0 sweet stuff...On the wheel covers auto Zone has spray paint just for wheel covers and it works great...
