My client left this car at my place over a week ago. With having gone to Beaver Creek for a client and the cold temps last week, I just had the chance to finish this car up today. I didn't get a lot of pics since I ways really trying to get this car out of my garage after 9 days!! This is by far my favorite sport SUV!! This car received the basic once over: Paint/Body - Pre-treat lower and front end with Enviro Gold Citrus Cleaner Foam with CG Citrus Wash/APC Mix Two Bucket Wash w/ Natural Sea Sponge and CG Extreme Suds II Dry w/DD Uber WW Drying Blankets Wheels - P21S 5 minute dwell Agi w/ RG, SV and EZ Detail brushes Sealed w/Jetseal 109 SV Pneu Clean up - Clay w/Pinnacle Ultra Ply and lube w/ONR Mix M-105 w/SM Arnold 70 ppi foam ( After giving PFW a shot) Scholls S30 on SM Arnold 80 ppi foam LSP - Two Layers BF Wet Diamond Trim/Glass - Black Wow Trim Dressing Stoners Glass Lots of Uber MF Towels!! The arsenal This car came pretty dirty and needed a bit of attention. First up; foam with CG Citrus Wash and APC mix This car has spent its entire life going thru the weekly tunnel wash so, the wheels have never received a thorough cleaning. Thought about taking them off and giving my new Griot's protective sockets a whirl. The the wheels are farily accessable and this client had me on a $1500 max budget so, no time for removing wheels. Working the P21s with $1.98 brush All agitated with RG, SV and EZ Detail brushes All cleaned up Plenty of swirls on the fenders 50/50 After two passes with 105 on 70 ppi SM Arnold foam Working the clear bra Tight spots Left C Pillar Before Left C Pillar cleaned up Right C Pillar Before Right C Pillar After
Hood before under the Surefire Centurion LED And, after two passes of 105 Hood under metal halite, before After 105 Driver's door under the Cent LED before And, after two passes of 105 Had to rush to get a few afters. Losing sun and customer wanted his car! Thanks for looking
my RG brushes have hollow plastic handles which kind of annoy me. I wouldn't mind the wood handle one even if it is from michaels. funny i was wondering about this myself when i saw the pic. thought i was taken for a second. lol. Nice job on the truck. Wheels looked aweful before too.
haha yeah I noticed that about my RG brush. I always keep my brushes in a bucket of water and carry it around to each wheel. Water fills up in mine but it doesn't bug me.
Yeah, I had it for over a week, thought he was gonna charge me!!?? The paint was really rough!! Thanks, Aaron!!! Get that job?? Yeah, I actually wrote that and thought it was for the SV brush until I saw the pic I posted. I LOVE the RG brush!!! I still use the EZ AFTER the Rg. But, I'm about over being spit on with P21s!!! Yeah, again, I had the car for a week in my garage!! And, don't let any of these guys on DB fool you. Most of them fetch a good $ for their work!!!
awesome work, I have to admit, I love X5. By the SUV of my dreams probably would be X5M or G55AMG. When I see that G-class, my blood starts circulationg through my body, and I feel so excited! I them even less often then I see Ferrari.
Very nice work sir. I thought I was doing good for a days work this past spring and pulling in 400..geesh! They got what they paid for though didn't they!
Thanks!! I just noticed between the pics of the foam and the end job, it's winter!!! - trees in the background are losing leaves fast!!! Time to pull out the John Deere to ride around the yard and suck up leaves!!:campfire:
Well done vehicle looks great :thumb: I'm curious, how are the Festool polishes working out? Any heating issues?
