DETAILED: 2007 Acura TL



I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted any of my work, but believe me I’ve been very busy. As many of you know detailing is a part-time/full-time job for me until June when I can finally quit teaching. It’s not uncommon for me to do 6 to 8 wash and waxes and another 12 to 14 wash and vacs on Saturday and Sunday. This past weekend I worked 13 hours on each day. Money is good, but man I tired! The following is a detailed I did today after school. I hope you enjoy.

Process:



Wheels and Tires



Cleaned w/ Megs Wheel Brite and Zep Citrus Degreaser w/ black shmitt

Dressed w/ AA tire foam and Megs All Season Dressing



Paint and Glass



Washed w/ CG citrus via foam gun and white shmitt.

Polished w/ DG 101 via PC and blue Edge pad

Sealed w/ DG 105 via MF applicator



Befores

Just watch it with those shorts. You might just have your own "bumblebee tuna" syndrome to deal with!!!

Either that or an owner of a black, F-150 will come up to GA to see you!

(Inside Joke.........some may get it though!)

Thanks a lot! I really like using the DG stuff you turned me on to. It's easy to use and looks great. I don't know why I'm always looking for something else to use when the DG turns out so good.

Looks terrific Bradley. Those wheels look like they'd be a little tough to get as clean as you got them.

They were actually a piece of cake to clean. I just wet them and sprayed w/ Megs Wheel Brite and let set for about 30 seconds and then applied Zep Citrus Degreaser on top of the Megs via foam gun and used a brush to lightly clean in the tight spots.

The owner seems to have a nack for getting cars dirty, but she doesn't mind me cleaning them at least twice a week. She always drives black too.
