SpecC Detailed : Two black E92 335i's.. One with a twist
Car wasn't really bad. He asked for a one step, so I used 106FF and a green pad.
It was obviously babied! I took one piece of clay bar and hit everything with it. Scroll down and there's a picture of what one side looked like when I was done. I was pretty amazed! Everything was very clean about this car except the swirls which black cars are cursed with.  Materials Wash & Dry CG CWG Grit Guard Waffle weave drying towel Clay CG Clay Bar Clear Kote Quik Shine as lube All purpose microfiber towel Engine Bay CG Grime Reaper 5:1 dilution Costco MF Glass Stoner's invisible glass All purpose microfiber towels FK #425 - stoner's streaks a bit, so this cleans it up Paint correction Menzerna 106FF via Green Pad All purpose microfiber towel 50/50 Isopropyl/water mixture Finish Kare #425 quick detailer Tools Hitachi rotary polisher 3M backing plate - again, this thing kicks ass 250w something halogen light Protection & LSP CG Jetseal 109 CG 50/50 wax FK #425 All purpose microfiber towel Trim and exhaust CG metal polish Wheels and Tires EZ Detail brush Swissvax Wheel brush P21S wheel gel P21S total auto wash CG CWG (I'll explain the need for all these products later) Swissvax Pneu Jetseal 109 What I did to wash the wheels and tires first was soak them in P21S wheel gel, but that dried up pretty quickly. So as I was letting it soak, I'd mist it with water now and then, but after a while, I felt there wasn't enough product in there anymore. By that time, it had degreased enough that I could just wash the rest with CG CWG. P21S total auto wash was for the tires. I feel it does a better job degreasing later for tire shine. that is a really long write up... here's the pictures    Go wheel gel!  clean clay!      After polish, I realized this car had some awful orange peel...    I got bored.    Engine bay wasn't very dirty to begin with, so I cheated.. kind of.  All that, and I'm still not done with my collection! After LSP  Hello, FMINUS          Enjoy! I apologize for the blurry pictures. It was late, and he was picking up the car as I was snapping the last pictures. |
