Today I had the chance to pick up 5 more vehicles.....all from the same home. The customer is in Colorado hunting and told me to detail his truck when I go the time. Well today was it's day. I lost the last two days of work due to the flood that fell here. Now I'm covered up! This also let me test out another Collinite product.

Here's the truck's process....
Start Time:
7:00am
Finish Time:
3:00
Price:
350.00


Washed with Meguiar's NXT Car Wash
(Used EDGE Wash ShMitt and clayed during wash)

XMT#2

(Used EDGE2K Green Wave Pad at a #5 PC setting)
The paint was not in bad condition. I just wanted to remove some light tree branch scratches and car wash wax. I really love using this polish. It really cleans and you don't have to use alot of it.

Look.....I match!


Before and after with XMT#2....front door is done and the rear is not.


Collinite’s Marque D’Elegance Carnauba Paste Wax

(Applied by foam applicator and removed by PC with MF bonnet)
Wow. This wax is nice. Went on alot smoother than 845. Alot like Meg's #26 paste. Experiencing the removal of #845 by hand, I elected to do someting I haven't done it a while. I removed the wax with PC and bonnet on a #4 setting, flipping the bonnet over half way through removal. This made it so easy. Polished up to a remarkable shine! Even popped the flake.

awesome. ive been waiting for you to try the marque out! So what are your impressions of the wax? what kind of look does it tend to give? more of a reflective sealant look or a deap carnuba shine? mix of the two?


thanks for this. just trying to gather all the info i can before i invest in some.

That truck looks GREAT! Very nice job. It's awesome that you are constantly trying new products and reviewing them for us.

How long did this big truck take you?

I used NXT All Metal Polysh over the weekend on my dad's Colorado Z71. Seemed to work good.
