    Scion brought back to life

    Knocked this one out of the ball park today. Client could absolutely not believe how good it looked. I was really impressed, and honestly pretty proud of myself to not only get a result like this, but two in the same day!

    I:

    Washed-Gold Class
    Dried-Elbow Grease
    Clayed-Pinnacle
    Polished-M105/205
    Sealed-Griots one step sealant
    Waxed-#26

    Before:






    After:




    Thoughts?

    Looks incredible, you should be proud. Great job. As a newbie with a black car can I ask what Pads you used? Thanks, Spiney-Dave

    The car looks very nice! Lots of gloss as well.

    Results speak for themselves right there, finished up with "old school" Megs too, haven't used that stuff in 15 years but back then I applied it by hand, so with you using a wheel I bet the removal was a bit easier due to applying less.

    Keep up the good work!

    Yea #26 is definately one of my "go to" waxes. I really love the way it looks on just about every color. And on top of that it is cheap! Gotta make money somewhere right? YOur right it is definately easier to remove after applying by machine. Also having a clean working surface makes worlds of difference with that stuff.
