I did this car for my Pastor's daughter, she has watched my kid on several occasions and has never asked for anything in return. So being that she's a teenage girl, her car care is not at the top of the list. So I helped her out.
Wash:
Rinsed, then proceeded to foam w/## Citrus wash and Gloss. In my bucket I had my mix of D2G soap and some various cleaning tools. Car was clayed with RL medium duty/Pinnacle poly mix (which totally marred the paint, but oh well). Rinsed off again, the dried with various towels.
Paint Correction: I decided to use a mix I got from AL-53 and Wolfpacker. A 75/25 mix of DG 501 and Menz. 106ff. And I tell you what this is a killer one step on paint that's in fairly good condition. Used the Flex on speed 6 all the way, then used a White 5.5in lo-pro pad.
Her boyfriend had helped me with a couple of details and I sold him my UDM, so I made him bust it out and follow up with ## ... he used speed speed 3.5 and a 6.5in black LC CCS.
LSP:
I just thought about this... and I did the whole process wrong. I should of did the DG 105, let it cure and did the glaze, but oh well... you learn from your mistakes.
LSP was DG 105 via flex and 5.5in Blue CCS pad
Kind of what i was up against:
