Wow. Car looks brand new. Is the iron cut supposed to replace a clay bar?

DetailersDomain Jun 19, 2012 11:31 PM

iron cut is a step we use prior to claying to ease up the amount of claying.

the nano skin auto scrub is what we feel will replace the clay bar.

WhosRich Jun 20, 2012 01:46 AM

Wow. I havent been keeping up on the newest detailing products but that nano skin is incredible. Huge time saver.

Hotdawwgman Jun 20, 2012 03:05 AM

Wow! So sick!

DetailersDomain Jun 20, 2012 10:00 AM

thanks!

bkmitchy Jun 20, 2012 11:51 AM

Looks great! Kinda curious as to when you decide to wetsand as opposed to polishing?

DetailersDomain Jun 20, 2012 01:37 PM

when we tested the panels with all the acid rain etching we were not able to clean it up with our most aggressive set up. M105 and the surbuf pad.

We called up the customer and he gave us the go ahead to wetsand.

We try hard not to wetsand .

jomamahama Jun 20, 2012 03:26 PM

I would feel ashamed if I let my G get that bad

VQdriver Jun 30, 2012 01:41 AM

Wow. I must say that looks amazing! How many people tackled the job and how long did it take to do the entire detail job?

henry206 Jun 30, 2012 04:05 PM
