    Here’s another vehicle brought to Deep Gloss with hammered black paintwork.
    I found the clear to be rather hard.

    Products/Process

    Rinse
    Surf City Grime Destroyer – Pre treatment for all exterior – Applied via pesticide pump sprayer
    Chemical Guys Citrus Wash and Gloss – Applied via foam cannon
    While foam was dwelling wheels were cleansed with:
    Surf City Beyond Steel
    Laitner brush via drill
    Entire vehicle pressure washed

    Dwell
    Entire vehicle pressure washed
    Surf City Pacific Blue wash via two bucket wash method
    Pressure washed
    Water blown from vehicle surfaces and cracks/crevices via blower
    Paintwork was clayed to remove imbedded contaminants using Danase Medium Clay
    Meguiars 105 compound via Makita 9227 and 6.5” LC Purple foamed wool
    Started and maintained at 1200 RPM for approx 10-13 seconds
    I experimented with the 105 on the pad and on the paint – I found that it worked better on the paint.

    Very nice work! Black is beautiful when time is taken to do the prep work correctly. :applause: Thanks for sharing with us!

    Interesting choice using 845 to protect. Most only use it to "get them thru winter". IMO it is an underated LSP.

    Keep up the fantastic work.

    Damn, that is unbelievable. That is a little M105 you're using on that foamed wool pad, good to know.

    Thanks smith... What problems are you having with 105? You just have to hit it fast and quick meaning don't start slow spread it and speed up.. I simply start at 1200 and go over a 2x2 section for 10-13 seconds and that's it...

    Thank you, yes the owner was very pleased :cool:

    Thanks Brian

    Thanks Dave - I agree, black paintwork is either your best friend or worst enemy - no 2 ways about it

    I am a big fan of 845 and not just for winter because. As you said it really is under rated I think it's a great offering!

    Thanks Piet!! Yes I use very little M105 and like I said hit it fast and quick it is not a traditional diminishing abrasive. You mind will want to wkr it like a traditional diminishing abrasive but you just have to trust the product

    Thank you sparkie - jobs like this really kick my butt!!

    Nica... thank thank you for the kind words.. It is always hard for me to catch swirls with a camera on anything other than black paintwork so I figured that since this was black and hammered and also that I just got a new camera - well I figured I would capitolize on the opportunitty..
