The car was a good customers personal daily driver. Not having it parked in a garage, and lots of trees meant it was dirty and contaminated. Also, most likely brush washes and improper wash techniques were used. Paint was corrected about 75%.

Thanks for looking!

 

Looks great

 

looks good!

Could you explain how the peanut butter thing works? It's the first time I've heard of this method.

 

I know, you might be thinking wow this guys out of his mind. But peanut butter actually comes from a zymol rep I heard from. Peanut butter is strong in natural oils- good solvent. When you have a white wax stain on rubber or plastic, (before washing, just in case you get a small amount on paint) dab your microfiber towel and then rub it into the surface until you see all wax residue gone. Afterwards, wipe off any excess with a cleaner, and dress the trim for a dark look.

 

^^ Never heard of it being used like that before. Interesting.

 

Very nice. Always nice to correct the black vehicles. Job well done.
