[Mike Phillips]

Thank you to everyone that welcomed Kristin to our forum... time to shut down the Autogeek Studio for the night but I'll post the process and after picture tomorrow... until then here's some shots of Kristin wiping off some smudges, inspecting our work and showcasing the Dodo Juice Orange Crush Wax.


I introduce to you our newest Swirl Girl... Kristin!

Kristin inspects our work and finds a few wax smudges here and there and gently removes them using a clean microfiber towel while wearing microfiber gloves...

Once again, another fun evening at AG. Good meeting Kristem, Kyle & PJ (alphabetical order - so nobody is offended-heehee). Adam & Mike, always a pleasure working & learning from you.

This was truly an extreme maker over. This car looked good from far, but far from good. But once done - Wow! Totally different vehicle!

[Pats300zx]

Great job everyone. Another winner for sure !!

[mclovin]

Man I'm upset I couldn't stay and help finish up that Bel Air. Turned out great. Next time though and hopefully a better car!

Yeah no picture of me :awman: There's always another day and I'll be willing to give a helping hand any time. Thanks for inviting me yesterday Mike.

Hey Mike I was just curious, did the whole car have single stage paint on it or was it just some sections. I remember you getting some red on the pad right before I left and PJ said he felt a difference between the paint in certain areas.

The entire car was single stage paint.

If you're a car enthusiast, especially someone into detailing, having the opportunity to buff out a classic car with single stage paint is a real treat.

I'm getting ready to post the process pictures followed by some after shots that will really show the full richness of color in the paint and the wet, glossy appearance.
