Hi Guys! Have not posted in while now, Got a chance to detail a Porsche Cayenne a couple of weeks ago and I just thought of sharing some pictures and my process. The Cayenne was in pretty bad shape and was full of swirls and needed aggressive claying badly, the finish was just bad and the sad part of this is I forgot to take some before shots. :bash:
Started off with a Wash with DP Xtreme foam in an AG foam canon and citrus wash with the two bucket method and went on to clay the car with a Hi Tech Magna Sponge, I know some or most of you guys out there find this clay to be a little too aggressive, but used in the right way this clay really works well and saves time, and the finish of the car IMO really needed this clay.
After the wash I did some test spots (with no pics again :doh:) and decided to tackle the job with the Rotary/DA combo with an old school DAT compound/polish combo which has been overlooked since the emergence of the SMAT Megs 105/205 combo. Let me make this short, you might be getting bored by now. Started with Megs Compound Power Cleaner using the Makita rotary and the old school 8" Burgundy pad (just miss my old stuff). After compounding the whole vehicle the finish was in much better shape than when I first started but obviously had to be polished so I took out the good old Megs Speed glaze and started going to work with my Makita Bo6040 Forced DA with a 6.5" white polishing CCS pad (yes the Makita DA can handle those 6.5" pads). Finished off everything with a coat of Collinite 476 topped off with Souveran Paste.
Here are some of the Pictures!
