    The customer originally wanted a full bore correction, but he had to have the SUV back by 5 pm... and it was a real mess... so I could only do about a 80% corrections ( lots of scratches left on the truck.
    On the hood and front fenders, I started with Orange CCS and Intensive Polish. But then he called at 1 pm and the rest of the truck was cut with P85RD and a White CCS because I had to get my ass in gear. Tar, RIDS, Sap . Oh yeah.. this one had it all. US Vehicle imported to Canada. Clay sounded like Sand paper.

    Time : 8 hours
    Polishes used : Intensive Polish
    P85RD
    106FF
    Pads Used Orange CCS
    White CCS
    Blue CCS

    Wheel Cleaner P21S
    APC Production Slam ( Sucks balls )
    Wax Used Victoria Wax ( 2 coats )
    OPT Spray Wax ( on Roof )
    Clay Ricarrdo Clay

    Looks good. Did you notice any faint hologramming in the paint (did you do a prep sol wipe down prior to waxing)?

    I have done 5 Range Rover SC's in the last couple weeks and find that paint nearly impossible to finish down hologram free!

    Very nice work on what I have found to be very difficult paint to correct. Bravo.

    I have never had an issue since slowing down my passes... i keep the makita at 2 for final passes.. But I also wash out the pads every few panels. Or I find that I get chatter. I used Menzerna Top Inspection in the photos where im showing the finish with the light. Because I used a pre cleaner before the wax, that really insures that I get all the oils off from the 106ff. But.. because I was on a time crunch, I could not let the wax dry between coats ( did 2 in a row .. back to back ) and it was pretty warm and humid ( 27C ) so I did get a bit of oily streaks outside. A bit of Victoria QD cleared it up well.. That wax needs about 40 min cure time before another wipe, but I didnt have the tme.

    I love it.. I use it every day and its edging out my Dodo Use... :)
    It sets well, and it cures fast. The soap and QD and fantastic. Made in Canada! Yay!! LOL

    Wow man you guys are fast 8hrs wow that's not much time on a large size SUV and they are large.

    I agree the paint on these vehicles, I found to be on the soft side and can put up a fight but you guys did a great job.

    I love Victoria, such a great wax :worship2: :worship2:
