Got this customer while I was doing my brother's truck on Saturday. The customer goes back and forth to Ohio about twice a month. Lot's of road grime and bugs. Did something a little different on this one.
You'll see what!

Here's what she got....

XMT Carnauba Glaze
(EDGE 2000 Orange Polishing Pad set at 5.5)
Here's what I did that was different...skip any aggressive cutting!
After washing, believe it or not there were just light swirls. So, I wanted to try out XMT's glaze since it says it can remove light imperfections. Boy did it! It, with the orang pad did a wonderful job of cleaning up the paint. Sap and a light stains came out as did any swirls. This is a must-have product.

Pinnacle Liquid Souveran
(EDGE 2000 White Finishing Pad set at 3.5)
Still one of the best. Made the pearl pop and left it looking wet and deep.

Also spent some extra time on the wheel wells and engine bay since I didn't have a swirl removal stage. Customer was so glad I did!

Befores....








Afters....

The compliments are well deserved honey. You used the carnauba finishing glaze on the headlights?? or something else? The car came out so beautiful. Like better than brand new. Do you use a brush or a dedicated MF for the wheel wells?
