Well it all started with 2001 Ford F-150 green and swirled out, then I moved onto a Jeep Liberty decent shape, and finally moved onto a 2001 Lincoln LS again swirls everywhere. I didn't get everything out of the Lincoln, but for $80 she gotta great look and durability until I wash again. The total change made today $315.00

Here are some examples of my troubles allday !!

Marring I got to fix (This was there before I washed.... This is the rear door.

One pass with Orbital Magic.. This is the front door.

Washing
I used NXT and Wal-marts new Simple Green brand wash. The Simple Green had a jelly style liquid form like the NXT and seemed to work good. I've been mixing different washing to just see different results.


Swirl Removal
Since I still have a gallon of this stuff I just keep using it. Crystal Images "Orbital Magic." It works great with a polishing pad with high speed 6 setting on the PC. The swirls minimize and the paint is left super slick, but dusty :(
I continued on after re-rinsing the vehicle and drying.


Wax
I love the liquid Souveran. The one bottle I have has made $500 by itself!! Can't say enough about this wax.


Tire / Rubber Dressing
Armor-All Extreme Tire Gel (Orange Bottle). This stuff is great for a OTC at Wal-Mart. Goes on great and more coats means more gloss. No SLING 2 !!!

END RESULTS

wow...you are definitely much more generous than i am when it comes to an lsp for your customers....i usually only use top end products like souveran for an upcharge (or by request for my regulars)....great job on the f-150. "forest green" type colors are always my favorite to work on...even if there is still minor paint correction needed it still doesnt show like it would on a black car...and definitely still "pops" when you are done

I just started doing all my customers with liquid souveran because its so much easier by PC and the wet factor has so far worked on every color. I have Souveran paste, but I'm ike you only VIP or requests will get that. For $30 bucks a bottle it's worth topping any customer due for a wax. Oh yea I'm only half way through my first bottle and its produced $500 profit.
:awesome:

Very good work! Those pictures are impressive, especially the green F150. How many hours did you spend on each car/truck?
