    AIO on Nissan Altima

    So someone brought me a nasty Altima, when I say nasty I mean the car was dirty but when it came time to clay it that's when I had issues, not sure what was on it, could have been overspray so it took longer than normal.


    She first just wanted it washed, clayed and sealed but when we inspected it together I showed her just how bad her paint was, swirls galore.
    I tried selling her my two stepper but she wasn't ready for that bill right now. Lol
    So I told her about my All in One package, she wanted that one but I told her some of the swirls would still be present and she understood that, I always educate my customers, that way they won't come back and say why do I still see swirls, etc.

    Foamed it, the wheels, the barrels were horrible , thank God for the D-140 Wheel Brightener.

    Two bucket method using Chemical Guys Maxi-Suds
    Dried after using my leaf blower.
    Clayed using my Handy Prep towel, God sent
    Used my DA with the 5.5" Lake Country orange Flat pads with the Meguiar's D-151, worked OK but it really needed some Wolfgang Uber Compound, oh well.
    Did a DP Rinse-Less wash
    Coated the tires with the Turtle Wax Tire Coat Kit
    Duragloss 951 on the wheels

    Interior wasn't bad, didn't take before pics of it.

    Groit's Interior Cleaner for everything including the leather.
    Poorboys Leather Conditioner

    Total time, 6 hours....

    Before.........





















    OK so y'all get the idea what I was up against

    Afters ........

















    Three coats

















    Thanks for looking

    Kevin

    Not bad being I only used the D-151

    Looks good. Great work. Maybe next time you might want to take her plate off or white out the area on the computer before taking pictures. Just my 2 cents but excellent job again.
