Final Shot

 

amazing. I got into detailing by working on a neighbors car just like that one. Same condition too.

 

nice work and nice car :thumb:

 

that's it... I have to buy 1Z' Einszett Glanz Wax :thud: :worship2:

 

amazing

 

Looking good there Phil :applause: :applause:

 

Most excellent work, Phil.

 

that's an awesome job, Phil! Knowing how hard BMW paint is, I now ordered Power Gloss myself...Even with SIP/Flex it takes a while. Took me two day to polish out wife's BMW.

 

Great work! Man those swirls were bad.

 

yeah this one was great !

my neighbors told me before I got outside he looked like he was going to cry ahhahahahaaha

 

Great job Phil.

 

Phil what dilution do you use the Powerclean at? How do you apply it to the car?
Another great detail well done

 

I don't dilute it I put it in the foam canon and let it go the canon is set on half.

Thanks!

 

Great work there Phil! Were there still some defects that you just couldn't get out? It would be amazing if you actually got all those defects out with the products you used!

 

Phil may I sk about how much is used per car? I really want to try Power Clean but just trying to justify the higher then most APC price.

 

typically 50/50.

 

here is the best I can do for closer shots.

it was hot I had the car for 2 days and I was a bit tired ...sorry...
