    The Worst Car on AG - Trashed and Neglected, Washed 2 Years Ago - V7 Hybrid, Collinite Marque D'Elegance, Collinite 845 (Many Pics)

    This car is owned by a friend and it was last washed about 2 years ago . Unfortunately, he doesn't care about his car whatsoever, and it's obviously a daily driver. The Toyota was covered with grime, salt, sand, bird droppings, water stains, scratches, and almost everything else you could imagine. I am definitely interested in reading your responses regarding experiences like these! I do this on weekends as a hobby, and this is the first time I've seen something like this.
    .
    .

    Anyways, he asked me to detail his car since he will be trading it in/selling it to buy a new car. The car has about 190,000 miles. Well, I got to work, and it took about 18 hours to complete This is a brief summary of what I did:

    -Griot's Garage 6" Orbital, Meg W-8006, Meg W-9006, GG Poilishing Pad, and GG Finishing Pad.

    1- Presoak and Full Pressure Wash
    2- 2 full washes using Meguiar's Gold Class and microfiber wash mitt
    3- Gold Class Clay Bar
    4- Compound @ 5,500 RPM
    5- Polish @ 5,000 RPM
    6- Collinite 915 Marque D'Elegance (what a beast!) @ 3,000 RPM
    7- Collinite 845 @ 2,000 RPM
    8- Another layer of Collinite 845 @ 2,000 RPM
    9- Sealant CG V7 Hybrid
    10- Dressing, tire shine, etc.
    11- Interior air blasted, vacuumed, foamed, dressed, etc.

    I'll let the pics speak for themselves!

    Before
























    After 2 full washes using Meguiar's Gold Class, Microfiber wash mitt etc, this is what the clay bar picked up!





    After



















    I would definitely appreciate your feedback!

    Awesome job. Yeah definitely one of the nastiest clay pics I've seen. I hope you get compensated for it well.

    Sweet. Great job. With all that collinite, it must be like being in an armored vault. How long did it take?
    Always keep the shine in your life.

    Thanks for the comments! It took about 18 hours to finish. It just started raining outside and I went out to snap some pics of the water beading!
