Well, I finally got around to doing a full exterior detail on my car. I have been compaining for months about the water spots on my paint, and i finally got the chance to have my way with them haha. I should have more pictures this afternoon but I couldn't wait to share these.
The Process:
- prewash with power washer w/ 45 degree nozzle
- wash with turlewax ice soap and low pressure nozzle on PW
- rinse with PW 45 degree nozzle
- clay with meguiars for the rear 3/4 of the car and mothers for the front 1/4 (i destroyed the meguiars because my car had so much crap in the paint)
- 3m Fine Cut Rubbing Compound - porter cable 7424, orange LC CCS pad, 5.5 speed, and some spots done by hand with as many coats as needed to get the spots
- Mothers Paste Carnuba wax - porter cable 7424/hand, speed 3.5
- Stoners Invisible Glass on the windows and mirrors
- TurtleWax f21 foaming tire shine
- water and rag on the wheels by hand (because NOTHING else does a better job)
Payment: a beer and some much needed experience for myself.
Time: i didnt really keep track closely but between friday and saturday probably about 6-8 hours total (im a slow worker)
onto the pix!
some of my arsenal haha (bunch-o-**** on the workbench)
polished up the Genome
shiney even with the lights in my face
quick one of the interior
and my new favorite picture of the car.
i dont have any before shots because the camera wouldnt pick up anything worthy of showing. like i said i should have more pictures today/this afternoon if it doesnt rain.
