  • Late 50's Desoto 4 door sedan

    Hey gys, i have a friend who buys old/rare vehicles, fixes them up and resells them and he just recently hired me to buff out his vehicles for him as he doesnt enjoy buffing. He can and does do it but would rather have me do it for him and that way i an get money. Anyway, he cleaned the car and got it ready to buff so i showed up and began buffing it. He let me use his camera to take some befores and afters and i used my blackberry as well, only pics i have now are from blackberry so these will suffice until he e mails digital pics.

    The process was simple, G110 - M205 - W8205 polishing pad.

    Please excuse the pic quality as it was take with 3.2mp blackberry phone camera

    Car was only lightly to moderately oxidized, and i didnt have correct stuff to remove swirls, which he didnt care about, just as long as it shined.







    AND THEN i had a lil birdie up in a tree, decide he didnt like me and did this to me, 4 times throughout the day, on the windshields of the car.

    Nice work, the car looks great.

    What wax or paint sealant did you sue?

      none, he didnt want one as the car had a lot of chips and he was afraid itdfill hem with white residue....so it was only buffed. Didnt feel right, me buffing but not waxing but thats what he asked for.

        You should ask him if you could apply several coats of Ultimate Quik Wax, then maybe raise the price by $10.

        At least then it would have some form of protection.

        Still looks good though and its better than nothing.

          yeah thats a good thought, that wont leave white residue in the chips/cracks/scratches will it?

            I do not think it would. You could even spray it on your microfiber and not on the paint just to be safe.

            You could also use M135 or Ultimate Quik Detailer, they do not offer as much protection as UQW but they do have a small amount of protection as well as the Hydrophobic Polymer Technology.

                Looks like a cool project, and we like the idea of UQW to add some protection without causing wax-in-the-chips issues..... but we gotta ask about what we're seeing in this picture!!

                    Looks good. Never heard of a customer just asking to "buff" No wax.
