Having attended several detailing clinics at Meguiars, I was inspired to hold my own for my MINI club, c3club.org.
But due to unforeseen circumstances, I was caught in a bind at the last minute but fortunately Mike Phillips and Richard Simmons came to my rescue, and ensured that nothing would stop our MINI event from happening!
A big thumbs up
of appreciation to you both for your support and incredible customer service!
Our garage clinic wasn't ordinary in any sense. We had homemade chicken enchiladas, a sushi platter, chinese chicken salad. and a bunch of amazing goodies, not to mention a fantastic fruit punch recipe that one of our members got off the internet!
We also had running a detailing DVD that I put together that helped several members learn how to use the PCDA correctly, even before they got their hands on the tool.
We used the typical Meguiars products including NXT Car Wash, Quik Detailer, NXT Tech Wax, and ScratchX, as well as Trim Detailer.
Several of the cars arrived needing a lot of tender care! The first car up was this black MCS. There were a lot of paint issues to deal with. First the car lives outdoors, uncovered, and with our recent rain, it was pretty dirty. Further, there are some pretty deep defects due to a wet bra that was on the car during a recent cross country road trip.
Here are the BEFORE pix:
A thorough wash with NXT Car Wash, was the first step.
Unfortunately due to space restrictions, we had to wash in the sun, so we quickly rinsed off the soap, and brought the car into the shade for final drying and Quik Detailing to remove water spots or anything we missed. Once this was done, we used the W-8006 Polishing Pad with NXT Tech Wax, on a PC DA set to speed 4. ScratchX, was used on several of the worse defects. I didn't have any Show Car Glaze available so we only used NXT Tech Wax and removed it by using the W-7006 cutting pad inside of a microfiber Ultimate Bonnet
Here are the AFTER pix:
Cobwebbing is gone!!! The metallic flakes are very visible.
For comparison, here is a composite of the two pictures.
Not that it's not already obvious, but the left side is the after and the right side is before.
As you can see the results were pretty dramatic with a deep, wet look!
