    Didnt have access to pw so no foam job. Sprayed down with iron remover, bucket washed with carpro descale, then finished with fenlab pure rinsless.

    To my suprise, the paint felt smooth again, looked and felt like it was just polished. No signs of scratches/micro marring. He even mentioned how well it looked. So decided to not clay or anything.

    Can coat evo was up next. Then waited an hour or two, then wiped down with Amplify to protect it from the incoming rain so he could drive it home.

    This does sit outside all the time BUT it does get stored away for the winters so i imagine cancoat evo should last him quite a while

    I’ve contemplated accidentally getting sick to get out of this interior I have booked for Thursday. Great customer but the SUV formerly belonged to a couple with 4 kids. I”m seriously thinking about dropping interiors from the menu after this one.

    I hate doing the interiors of other people's vehicles, one of the reasons I don't do it for a job I guess. I have a rule for when I've done friends or relatives cars, you must remove all the rubbish before you give it to me, I'll clean the interior, but I won't pick up your rubbish. Empty lolly wrappers and soft drink containers, unfinished or dropped food, and worst of all, used tissues, will make me leave the interior alone.

    Temporary protection until a proper polish and coating.

    Glad you liked it, perfect for the job in question.

    Just a heads up, Guf tends to petrify the rubber pickup tube on those Kwazar sprayers. You may find that in time you will need to squeeze the trigger 20 to 30 times to get the thing to spray. Seems to be particular to Guf.

    Completely dry to touch and non slippery.

    I always used heavily diluted Perl for floor mats, just enough product to give them some richness without being a safety hazard.

    With Guf, you just spray liberally and then give the mat a generous rub with a towel or brush.
