Good evening. Client came to me looking to have vehicle cleaned up for either trade in or private sale. For 160,000 miles and 11 years old it is in really good shape and well taken care of. Had a lot of paint contamination to work thru and I swear the paint changed from like a sandstone to silver as I worked thru it. VERY cool indeed!! And on with the show. Interiorwas not too bad and Weather Tech floor mats rock!!! Upon arrival: Clients garage door got hungry!! Random paint condition pics: More jambs/engine pics: Paint heavily contaminated: Letting the Iron X go at it!! Onto the clay bar...the glass also had heavy fallout as well...maybe you can see bottom have rear window clayed, top not. Random clay pics... Onto compounding Meguires DA M/F Correction Compound W/ M/F Cutting Disc: Paint condition after prep. Color hard to capture defects. Headlights took a beating for sure!! Going after hood scratches....yeah buddy!! Removing years of defects...bringing a beautiful clarity back!!! Lovin this hood!! Somewhere in here I did an IPA wipe down and switched over to DA M/F Finishing wax W/M/F Finishing Disc. Great results! It's time to seal it up! AAAHHHHHH.... A much better lift gate! Sorry I did not get any rear lens pics before...but these are cool...can see house behind ours!! Headlights after...Much improved!! Jammin!! Lets roll it on out! Favorite shot!! BAMMM!! Darn towel!! Like I said, interior was not bad. Jambs much better! Almost forgot!! Remember that engine compartment?? SO needless to say client was very very happy and is now in a great position. Either get top dollar for trade or sale. Or Drive for another year or two and save money!! So cool we can be a part in peoples lives like this! I love what I do! Until next time fellow detailers!! Thanks for viewing and keep on detailing!! Hoover
I use Meguiar's Super Degreaser for all my prep work at a 50/50 ratio. Engine compartments,hood,door,trunk and gas cap jambs,tires,wheel wells,brand badges, all of it. Spray on, let sit for a few, agitate well with a good detail brush and rinse well. Dressing engine I use an older applicator pad that is loaded with Meguiar's Tire Gel. Apply, let sit, wipe off excess. Have a great evening! Hoover
