Detailed: 2005 Chrysler 300C

Been awhile since I've posted a full detail. I've mainly been doing wash/vacs and mini-details. I did 8 wash/vacs on Tuesday.....4 Denallis and 4 Escalades!
This one was a referral from my local Chrysler dealership. The owner had back surgery so the car went unwashed for 7 months. Being black and in the sun all day.....it was bad.....very bad.
Here's the regimen for this one:

Start time: 8:30AM
Finish time: 4:00PM

NXT Car Wash
(Clay barred entire car....wheels too.)

XMT #3
(EDGE2K Yellow cutting pad with a #5 setting followed by a #4 pass)
Hood, roof, and trunk took 2 passes. I did this in direct sunlight on a black car. No dusting and no pad clogging.

XMT #1
(EDGE2K Orange polishing pad at #5 setting)
Used this to polish out the paint. There was some minimal marring where I made 2 passed with #3 and this process took it right out. Once again in full sunlight. Not one problem.

DP's Max Wax
(Applied by hand....removed by hand)
I worked one panel at a time due to the heat. Went on and came off like butter. Left the surface feeling like silk. The hood, roof, and trunk revieved 2 coats.

Other Products used:
Purple Power Degreaser
(Wheel wells and tires)
Woolite 10:1
(All plastic, leather, and carpets)
Armor All Tire Foam
(Wheel wells)
Armor All Tire Gel
Stoner's Invisible Glass


I am very impressed with the XMT lineup. It's product do what they say they can. As for Max Wax, I believe this is still the best value out there.

Befores:







After one pass of XMT #3

Spectacular as always. I'm glad to hear that the XMT products worked as advertised. Since I generally end up working in full sun I'll have to give them a try.

EDIT: I just ordered some!

Justin, fabulous job. If you don't mind me asking, how much did you charge for that one?

Awesome, awesome work! When my Wolfgang pads are done and my Poorboys has run out, I'll be ordering the Edge 2K pads with some XMT! The results are amazing!
