Default Before and After



On Valentines day I decided to detail a car that needed it badly. This is my son's girlfriends car, this is what salt does to our finish around here. Last pic is 4 and half hours later. Steps used, were, wash, clay, wash again, Meguiars paint cleaner with the cyclo buffer, then Megauirs machine glaze with the cyclo again, (polishing pad) and finished up with my paint sealant. [^]

I like Meguiars stuff also but I am a little surprised here. I thought you would be using some of your stuff.[:I]

I used my sealant as the last step. The Meguiars cleaner is more aggesive than mine, and as you can tell, it needed more deep cleaning.

Say Gary,
Is that car Black or Blue (eyes are going)?
The reason I asked is because I will be working
on a well seasoned black finished car soon?
Thanks H.
