  • what I did Saturday (56k warning)

    a friend brought his car over Saturday and I couldn't take it any more. heres a shot of the wheel before.



    I used hot rims with both the Meguiar's new gold class wheel brush and the new GC wheel spoke brush. this brush is a must have tool! on the tire I used NXT tire cleaner and the new Gold Class tire brush. when finished I used endurance on the tires to get this.



    this car had a bra that never came off so this is what I started with.



    lots of stains in the paint.



    even after a good wash and clay there was still a stain.



    the inside before.



    than after APC on the carpets and areas of the dash, than #40 .



    I did all the plastic with PlastX.



    for the paint, I washed with Gold Class. Clayed with the detailer clay. polished with #83 on rotary for some trouble spots with polishing pad, than pc with polishing pad on whole vehicle followed with two coats of #21 applied with finishing pad on pc and removed with pc and ultimate bonnets. also used megs glass cleaner from the detailer line.






    sorry some of the pics aren't from the same angle. new to the whole photo documentation thing and didn't realize some of the missing angles until I was uploading.

        What a great friend you are!

        Looks good, nice work. I edited your post to make the photos and text lay-out a little more evenly. Remember to always hit the Enter key once or twice after typing words and before clicking on the IMG button to insert a picture.

              Great job! That paint was nasty! Good thing you're handy with a rotary.

                Wow, that's a huge improvement.

                I can't figure how people are able to live with a car that is such a mess like this one.
                As soon as mine is a little dirty inside, I have to vaccum it!

                  Hey, Great job 2000,
                  looks like you are getting quite good with the rotary. This car was good practice eh. When his friends see his car they will want to be your friend.
