I've been searching for a way to do a quick detail with very little time needed. As many of you know by now, it stinks to spend 5+ hours with a stiff back included. Me personally, I have a 2+ year old with another on the way so time is VERY important (don't want to **** off the wifee) lol. So I tried something that works real well and very quick with 6 months or more protection for the paint! Once again, 90 minutes with 2 beer breaks..lol

I have only a few pics of car after wash (too long to upload everything and had to work) sorry.

All products are made by MENZERNA
These are the steps I did.

Wash (auto shampoo)
Inspect paint for scratches/swirls. I only found a few areas that needed love (Final Polish 2). Spent about 10 mins applying/buffing out areas.
Acrylic Jacket by HAND.

These pics after the wash.




Now after the detail.










Last step was a wipe down with High Gloss Acrylic Shield.
All material/towels were Micro Fiber.

Thanks bro for taking the pics! Love ya man...

 

damn pictures like these make me wanna wish i had gotten OB, but still, im happy with mine . Very nice detail job, big props

 

trust me, you don't want a black car lol

but the detail did come out good!

 

looks great now just get in the car drive down here to md and ill be waiting with the beer and food while you do mine lol.

 

You know I've seen allot of threads on a lot of different car forums where people have spent hours upon hours washing, claying, waxing and buffing their car. The final results look great, but IMHO I cannot tell the difference between all their pictures and yours (and some other quick detailing jobs that I've seen).

I think it looks great! I guess the only difference between your detailing job and someone who spent hours putting on 10-12 coats of wax is that their shine will probably last longer.

 

I've got a 4yr. old and an 8mo. old, so I completely understand the lack of time. That's one of the reasons I love Zaino so much. It's easy and fast enough that my G does actually get the care it deserves. I even did the wife's Pathfinder after the first Zaino session with the G.

 

Your car's filthy! I see trees, red flowers, and even grass all over it

 

^^^^^^^^+1 but i love it....

 

LMAO

Thanks! I'll have a 6 month protection and if I hit her after a wash with High Gloss A/S twice per month (15 mins each time) I can get over a year protection, not too shabby. Best thing is, that would take me about 35 mins start/finish

HAHAHAHA...Thats what my wife said

 

So you got 3 more yrs to go until you trust your oldest to wash the car

 

The reason some folks spend hours and BadBoy didn't have to is because he maintains his car correctly, so it doesn't have scratches, swirls, water spots, etc. For him, it's a wash, little hand polish, sealant, golden.

For folks who have marring you've gotta bust out the compounds, and that's what takes the time.

Badboy - car looks great. I wish everyone was as careful with their cars as you. Actually I lied, if they were I'd be out of business!

 

Most waxes will give you a great shin, that's not the problem as you said. What the problem is, is how long will that shine last. That's where Zaino comes in. In an unbiased study done a couple of years ago, Zaino outdid all of the waxes for length of protection.

 

Hmmm, maybe another 10 yrs..lol

Thanks! I too had a detail business for over 15 yrs. My big problem was I would give great tips on maintenance to my clients and would hardly see them again. But then again, I got tons of referrals.

Maybe time wise but compare to some others, no were near the clarity/depth/gloss. Sometime ago I used Zaino (polish/wax) on 1/2 of my wifes car hood and another brand polish wax. Hands down the cheaper brand out performed in clear/depth/wetness/gloss but FAILED 1 month sooner in protection. My findings proved to me, I would take the cheaper stuff with better looks but would have to do it all again in 5 months instead of 6. Her car was never garaged and washed 1 time per week - 10 days. Just thought I'd share..

 

Wifeee found this pic on her camera.

 

great job
