    Cool Finally had some time to detail my own car! SON1C June 22nd 2013

    Short background, my last detail on it was ~2 months ago, (way too long imo!) My car was hit and ran, not long after I m205'd it leaving it swirl free, the body shop did an excellent job on the repair, the paint, minimal orange peel, however they did induce some swirling, nothing a one step shouldn't clean up however it was a bit disappointing
    I also believe they stripped a good bit of my Sherbet Fizz off
    http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/...zz-review.html
    as it kind of fell off after that

    However to begin this detail I strip washed with chemical guys wash and gloss (favorite soap)

    Then I went to work on the junk tire shine the body shop put onto my tires, took two applications to remove!






    SON1C Synopsis 1 - Mothers - Wheel and Tire Cleaner
    Mothers Tire+wheel Cleaner was used for the tires






    Microfiber dried

    -> Rubbish Boy's Original Edition applied -> the rest of the pictures will be ported from my SON1C Synopsis 45 which can be read here

    I don't see what was your one-step product, an AIO?

    Also, for rewaxing, do you wait till wax has worn off or what is your preferred method? Paint cleanser?

    Nicely done.

    Do you have a feel of the durability of the Rubbish Boys?

    Looking good SON1C. Love the sun shots infront of the store.

    Sorry to hear about the hit and run.
