My car detailed

[pushtiulk]

This is my car and it was polished by a friend of mine. It was not made 100% correction, only swirl marks. This detailing was made in October 2009. It was washed, clayed, polished, washed again, applied sealant and waxed. I don't have before pics, because the battery of my photo was de-charged at that moment. Products used:

Valet Pro Snow Foam PH Neutral
Bilberry Safe Wheel Cleaner
CG Citrus Wash
Menzerna Polish (P85 RD 3.02 & 106FA)
CG Jetseal 109
Colinite 476

Nice work, looks like pretty heavy applications of Jetseal and 476, I've never used either though. Are those LSPs just like that? Love the pic with the suds on it, beautiful car

So, what's the story with the repaints?

[pushtiulk]

Jetseal is great, colinite it was hard to buff it, i don't know why. i've wait 30 minutes after i've applied and it was very hard to buff it. I want to try Wolfgang Sealant in the near future.

i've repainted the car because it was very scratched. some stupid scratched my car with the key all around.

sorry to hear about getting keyed, I've suffered the same thing. Parking overnight in public lots is dangerous. Wolfgang DGPS is great stuff, I'm sure you'll feel the same.

From the 476 product description-

We recommend applying Super DoubleCoat Auto Wax #476 with a Porter Cable 7424XP to achieve the necessary thin coat. Applying the wax too thickly will result in difficult removal.

...Spread the wax over one panel at a speed of 4000 OPM on a Porter Cable 7424XP. For easiest removal, apply the wax and then remove it, panel by panel. We used a microfiber bonnet over a lambswool pad. Then we went back with a Cobra Super Plush Deluxe for a final hand-buffing.

"Thin is in" ^^Hope that helps next time you wax.^^

[pushtiulk]

Yes, will help. I will never used again ) . Anyway I want to try the pinnacle wax and wolfgang. Soon I will make an order to AG.

You need practice on applying LSP's. In both instances the two LSPs were applied extremely thick. Thats why you are having such a hard time during removal. Collinite paste waxes are recommended to be applied a small section or panel at a time and applied very sparingly.

EDIT:

Here is an example of a thin application and a heavy one.

thanks for info.

So if your never gonna use your 476 again you won't mind mailing it to me, right?

[pushtiulk]

It was not my wax, a friend of mine who polished the car had the wax. And you don't want to pay shipping from Romania to US (with the fees you will buy 2 colinite ) )
