Had the opportunity to work on a friends company car today. 1.5 years old, and has already been resprayed 3 times because of some accidents.
now some kids had scratched it a bit, so he asked if I could help him.

Didn't take any before pics, as I was only going to do some spots correction.
But then he asked me about some window treatment. so I made him clean the windows and applied Wolf's Glass guard to the windscreen.
he was so pleased with the ease-of-use and the streak free cleaning of the Chemicals guys streak-free glass cleaner, he did all the windows, inside and out.
He then mentioned he had to go to his father-in-law, and that guy always said he had to clean his car better...

So this was the start of it all.

Did some spot corrections with a 4" orange cutting pad and wolf's WP-6G
Overall Polish with Wolf's WP-3G and white polishing pad
Gave the car a coat of Carpro Reload
Windows Cleaned with Chemical guys Streak-free glass cleaner
Wolf's Glass guard applied to windscreen
Rain X on side glass
Wolf's Blackout on the tyres
Megs Gold Class Quick detailer for doorsills,etc

Gave the car a quick vaccuum
interior quick clean with AF Spritz

( Interior pics will follow as I forgot to take some, but my friend will do it and send them to me)

Maintaining a car from it's "birth" is the best way to keep it looking good for years to come. Too often, I see so many cars on the road that are old before their time and simply because they're not or poorly maintained..

This Opel is a great example of what a car "can" look like with a little time and effort..... :props:

By the way...Wolf's make some great products and a favorite of mine is their Wolf's Hard Body Clear Sealant....:props:
