04 Chevy Silverado Detail.......Finally!!!!

[Alby]

I had been reading the forum for a few months and joined in September. I placed two orders, why two, sometimes seem to forget something. LOL! I had been reading members reviews, How-to's and videos that are on here by Mike. I must say there is quite a bit of info and just as many or more products to choose from. After much reading and some help with one of the members on here I was able to come up with a plan. (Thank you for your help EJ, you know who you are. LOL).

This is my Daily Driver sits outside 24/7/365. Unless I go to a baseball game and park in a garage!!!!!!!

IronX LS Going to Work on the Hood. Great product didn't know that could be that much junk on or in the paint. Sprayed it on let it dwell for 5 minutes, misted with distilled water and agitated with a Microfiber applicator. "Cool Stuff"

50/50 shot of hood.
Left - Washed, IronX'd and Clayed only.
Right - Washed, IronX'd, Clayed, M105 and M205.
The bottom of the picture where there is less light really shows how dull that paint really was. Also, the reflection of the tree on the right looks crisper.

Finished Product, Hard to get a good reflection with white, but a good sun shot.

Nice job! Many, including myself, have difficulty working with M105. What was your technique when working with M105?

[HateSwirls]

I'd love to see what would come off using IronX on my 96' GMC pickup, always parked outside and has 230k on it.
The truck looks great but it seems I could improve it some.
Great job on your truck, looks nice:dblthumb2:
Thanks for posting.

Always liked white myself. Last three cars have been white.

Technique came from a member on here. I used a tangerine hydro-tech pad, primed it with M105 and a "little" of M205, work area smaller 20"x20", made 2 back & forth, up & down passes, misted with quick detailer and made 2 more passes. This helped extend the working time of the M105 longer for me. Then wiped of with MF towel, inspected and repeated if necessary. Hope this helps it definitely worked for me. Also, I would clean the pad on the fly periodically.
