    Smith2287 Welcome to Detailing

    Well the other day my brother got in a minor accident in the parking lot of his school, no one was injured and in fact both jeeps only had some surface scratches. My brother has been driving now for almost about a year and he does not wash his truck at all, only after he goes in the mud at one of those do it yourself places so there are swirls everywhere. The only spot where he had any scratches from the accident was on the door and being a jeep I just took it off and set up shop in my house in the heat. Since I got my order from phil the other day I could not wait to try out my menzerna polishes and adams clay.

    So i brought the door inside proped it up and here was what it looked like:

    So I did a waterless wash it DP waterless wash and then proceded onto the adams clay with adams QD as the lube:

    Then I moved onto the menzerna IP with an orange pad, followed by the 106ff with a white pad. I was amazed on how much I was able to correct with only the P.C. I was not going to waste my brand new lusso on a jeep door that never gets cared for, so I pulled out my tub of natty's blue and gave it 2 coats. I shocked myself with the finished outcome because I never really corrected paint up till now, sorry I don't have a pic of the door back on the jeep in the sunlight but I saw it today and it looked great. I can't wait to get my flex and metabo for christmas, he already gave me permission to play with the rotary because he is getting the thing repainted in the spring. Sorry for getting carried away here are some pics:

    I will try to get a pic of the door on the truck tomorrow in the light, but they white mark that you see in a bunch of the pics is a deep dent that was there when he got the truck.

    Thanks guys for looking, feedback is good both +/-

    This was my first encounter with adams products and I think they did well. The adams QD seemed to work great and smelled like fruit. The clay smoothed the paint out perfectly and I used the under carriage spray today on my truck and it darkened my wheel wheels right up. In my next order from phil I am going to get a gallon of the QD and my try some of their other products. Maybe tomorrow I try the QD on my paint and see how it compares to CG synthetic QD, DP final gloss, and SC QD.

    great job, im sure your bro is happy you could do that.

    so does the rest of the car look funny now that it has one section that it swirl free?

    I saw the truck in the sun and it looks so funny. I just laugh thinking about it, his driver side door is swirl free and clean and the rest of the truck is covered in dirt and water marks. You know what this means now I am going to have to do the whole truck so it looks respectable.

    I will try to take a pic tomorrow
