  • What do you guys think about this one? (Results are in!)

    Hey guys! How is everybody doing today? Anyways, I'm detailing my friend's car today.. I already started yesterday night and washed the car with NXT Car wash and already clayed it.. I wasn't able to take pictures before doing this because it was already late at night.. Anyway, here are the pictures after washing and claying the car..











    And the most shocking pictures:







    Do you guys think this can be removed using the G-100? My plan for attack will be #83 DACP, then color X, then 2 coats of Gold Class.. The paint's finish is basically dried up.. But after claying the car, man, it was just so smooth..

    Thanks for your time.

    *edit*
    Products used were
    NXT Car Wash, Clay, #83 DACP, #81 Hand Polish, Gold Class Wax

    Hi Bri,

    This car just plain looks used and abused!

    #83, followed by ColorX and then Gold Class should transform this car from ugly to better than new!

        Mike,

        I don't know when the car has been waxed but it sure goes through car washes most of the time.. It take s a while before it goes through a bath again... What do you think might have caused the trunk to go like that? I thought that the clear coat was burned already.. hahaha!

        BTW, I have a surprise for you tomorrow Mike! I'll upload the pics tomorrow since my computer at home is slow and I'll upload more than 10 pics... hehehe! Stay tuned!

          BTW, I forgot to tell a story about what happened... halfway using #83, product build-up was becoming apparent so I decided to go out of the garage, set the PC to 6 and turn it on... You guys know what happened? The pad flew!!! I don't know why.. It should have been intact because I just used it.. I ended up washing it.. (First time) and I know that it's not recommended by Meguiar's... Do you think it is contaminated already?

            were not meant to wash the polishing, cuttting & buffing foam pads?
