Did my soon to be father-in-law's old, beatup blazer. The thing has tons of paint chips, big ones, smashed rear fender, heavily oxidized, etc. But, I wanted to give it a go.
Used a combo of Simple gReen, cheap wheel cleaner, and PB wheel cleaner, had them take it to the regular old car wash and wash it, as it was way to bad to even attempt to wash myself.
I had to use a QD after the carwash to clean it even more!
Clay bar, many areas had to be ran over up to 8 times. So much crap pulled out I had to scrap the clay! Sounded like sandpaper!
Tried the 4* Paint cleaner, wow impressed me bigtime! It sure helped.
Alcohol/water quick spray to get any excess off. I later learned not necessary because I followed the UPC with Klass AIO. The AIO I used everywhere, jams, moldings, wheels, anything and everything got AIO, and it always works great for me.
Next I tried my newly acquired Klasse SG. I applied super thin and did a panel at a time. I see what everyone means, it can be tricky, and is a beech to get off. I actually use PB SW (figured this owuld be the least harmful to new sealant) on some spots to get it off. Not sure if this affects the sealant, but I didn't care, I was tired of rubbing the dang SG. I will most likely not use it again, my EX-P does great and is easy. We'll see how the SG wears though.
I let it cure in the sun for a few hours.
Used Stoner's Glass Invisible Glass, nice product. Also used Rain X on outside windows. Trying to use it up and get something better, but hey it works.
DP interior protectant. Love this stuff!
DP Spray Surface sealant over AIO on wheels.
Cheap, never ever to buy again, Black Magic tire gel, yuck I hate this stuff!
Three coats of DP Max Wax (just had to try it since it was new to me) on hood, one coat everywhere else. Easy on/off, smells nice. We'll see how it wears and looks tomorrow. Should have stuck with Natty Blue, but what the heck.
Anyway, I was happy and he was very grateful and excited as I turned hid dull beater into a shiny beater fully protected. I think:o
Let's try the pics...
The sun was different on the shots. I have a very old camera and the before nasty look didn't coem out in the pics, oh well!
