Mirror Detailing

Went across the state today with Matt from Fast Eddy's Detailing (southnstyle) to work on a customers vehicle who has been trying for a month now to bring it to me...but just never had the time to get up my way. He had it detailed before by another company...which as you can tell did not fair well for him. The pass. door had 7 very large and VERY noticeable scuff marks from the detailer...looked like the guy tried buffing the car with a terry cloth and then one very large one on the pass. quarter.

Customer just wanted to get the vehicle fixed. Wanted to get all the holograms removed and the scuff marks removed. Then any correction that could happen at the same time was a big bonus. Since this was not his show car, I told him my "Mirror Package" should get all his needs and achieve around 70-80% correction. Well in this case it removed all holograms, the scuff marks and did about 85-90% correction.

Process:

Wash:
Foam Gun - Chemical Guys Citrous Wash
Wash TBM - Adam's Car Wash

Correction:
Makita - Orange LC Pad - SIP
GG DA - Orange LC Pad - M105 (certain panels)
GG DA - Gold LC Jeweling Pad - Super Finish

LSP:
Blackfire Wet Diamond
Natty's Blue

Rims/Tires:
Chemical Guys (?) Silk Dressing
Jetfire on Rims

I know I am leaving some things out as I have been working from 7am to 9pm. Not on this car though, had to head back across state to work on more vehicles which we will finish tomorrow and I will have more pics up then...an interesting mix of vehicles/box trucks they are. Anyways pictures...

Here are the befores....

Now the money shots...would have gotten other areas but not good angles and no other large surfaces to get a sun shot from...

Good Lord!! Some "detailers" need to be shot. Unbelievable someone would take the time to "detail" a car and leave it like that!

Nice save, by the way. The car looks gorgeous.

Looks very nice now. Great work!! It is a shame that the guy who did that car before you calls himself a detailer.
