Good evening fellow detailers! After a weekend off, back at it again. This year seems to have been the "Year of the black Honda's"! This was my 6th one. Client has seen the work I have been doing and we set a date to take care of it. 125,000 miles and is in really good condition overall. Just needed a weekend of TLC. Client was out of town, so it was a pick up and bring back when done. Client has not seen vehicle in person yet. It will be SO cool when they do though! Arrival was the usual dirt and grime. Meguires Super Degreaser Sonax Total Effect Rim Cleaner Full Iron-X Paint Decontamination Heavy hitting prep combo... Heavy embedded brake dust... Time was against me as it was getting dark and a thunderstorm was coming in...finished final wash down in the rain.....Iron-X at work...a lot of paint contamination.. Paint defects.....seems like just the usual... Phone flash had this weird halo thing going on.. Front passenger side hood/fender.. Let's get it started..interior was normal dirt and stuff... Headliner was coming loose from gasket.. Better!! Decided to go with Z1 Deep Plastic cleaner...great stuff!! Light agitation... Make-up transfer... GONE!!! Fuzzy photos again... Results... Major transfer removal... Remember, we are never here to shame our clients!!! Years of normal use being removed...towels on right were same color as on the left..it was a great clean!! Onto exterior correction.. Major straight line scratches from car washes...this is what we love to correct!! A few mean scratches that were greatly reduced when done! Taped up and ready to go! Combo used....Believe it or not this ended up being a one step correction... Uber Orange and Yellow Foam Pads. Yes sir!! Getting clearer... Finding awesome flake! Done with correction...decided to go with Sonax Polymer Net Sheild Sealant and let it cure overnight..After removing sealant.. Net Shield was used on all paint, glass, chrome and some trim pieces. Adams VRT was used on tires, engine bay and bumpers/door/wheel well trim. Final step was a coat of Blackfire Midnight Sun Caranuba...stunning! Reveal time!! I say lets go another 125,000 and do it again!! Another great Honda turn around!! We dropped off this beautiful ride to clients home yesterday and I received this email from client today, used with permission of course...."I'm still in DC speaking to Marine Generals at Quantico but my husband tells me your detailing job on my car is the best we've ever had! Thank you for your hard work. Cleanliness makes me happy ". So there we go fellow detailers!! Client is satisfied!! Go live your dream and shine on!!!! Hoover
