    First Real Detail

    Hey Guys,

    Just finished my first real detail on my 2010 Maxima. I started with a DP Rinseless wash and then did the Wolfgang Claybar. I then polished with the Wolfgang Total Remover and Finishing Glaze.

    It took about 8 hours to do and I was able to get my car almost entirely swirl and scratch free. I took some pics, but I am not a great camera man.

    Big thanks to Mike Phillips for the videos and everyone who helped with my posts. I think Mike will enjoy my sky shot from my hood....talk about DOI! I saved the best for last.


    Enjoy!

    Excellent job my friend!

    The car is beautiful and it definitely does not look like your first detail, that means that you have learned a lot here at AG!

    Thanks Bro! The reason I said first real detail is because the one I did before this one was not a great job. Still had all the swirls and did zero correction. So this one is legit. AG is the bomb diggity deluxe with cheese!

    Very Nice Job!

    Thanks Man! I'm pretty proud! It wouldn't have come out as nice if it wasn't for AG! I think I have a disease now....every car I see....I want take swirls out of it! Is there any cure for it?

    I know exactly what you mean! Cure? Just close your eyes and count to five (but not if you're driving...)

    Congratualtions... 8 hours is a pretty good benchmark for what you did with these kinds of results.

    I passed your kind words on to Yancy and Max as Max make the videos possible and Yancy is the "Man" when it comes to shooting and editing...

    Re: First Real Detail

    Hey Guys,

    So I forgot to post some shots of the car after applying the Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant and Fuzion Wax. My phone didn't like me today, so I only got 2 shots, but they look pretty good. How does everyone maintain this shine? I have a California car duster to wipe off occassional dust and I wash it weekly with the DP rinse and gloss. I use the dual bucket with grit guard method, but I am still worrying I am going to instill scratches and swirls. Whats the best way to prevent that stuff? Anyway...hope everyone enjoys....

    Thanks,
