| Re: So I placed my first order... Alright. Got out there early this morning and got started. Did my windshield first with the polish kit. So-So results at first. Went over it with the clay afterwards ( shoulda done it before hand, I know) and I am happy with the results. The Toyota windshield in the FJ cruiser and the scion xB are known for getting sand blast speckles in them and the driver seeing " sparkles" when driving into the sunlight. This helped out alot.
I then clayed the entire truck, after taping it all off and getting everything ready. Used the Wolfgang swirl remover ,with a orange pad, And I could see big changes just after doing the hood. Still have a few water spots here and there that it would not pull out. Either way, Once again, big improvement.
Then i used the finishing glaze, with a white pad. I didn't like this stuff at all. I came off pretty easy on the blue paint, but it seemed like it dried into the white paint on the roof pretty quick. Even inside a garage. I had to use some detail spritz just to take the buffed in glaze off the truck.... I don't know maybe I was running the buffer too fast, or too slow, but I kinda thought I was wasting time using it. Any ideas...???
Then , And you guys are gonna love this. I started in with the Wolfgang sealant, and a gray pad. Was going along nicely, Had the hood covered, both front fenders, and half of my roof covered. I has getting along in my job and feeling good about my work at this point. So my cell phone rings. My girlfriend was rear ended in the rain, on the interstate, goin 60 m.p.h. in a very rain, in the next county. So I had to jump in the truck, taped up, with sealant on the damn thing, and take off to the hospital. So as it stands, It is 2:30 in the morning, I still have sealant on my truck, no rain x on my windshield, and all my detailing gear is still in my buddies garage, Pads are wet and all, although I had my buddy set them in water when He got home. I left there at 8:30 p.m. I am by no means mad a t my girl, but damn, I feel like my whole day was wasted, along with supplies. At least I didn't get into my jar of wax, and only had sealant on about half of the truck.
So, I will start over from the beginning the nest time I have a day off.
I will upload some pics tomorrow. |
