Some of you may have saw my thread a few months ago when I posted pics of my swirls and was a complete NOOB when it came to detailing. Original owner must have washed it with SAND PAPER!!

After practicing and detailing for about 12-14 hours on and off I can now say I�m no longer a Noob. However still not an expert haha.

BIGGEST THANKS TO DETAILED IMAGE, WITHOUT THIS GUY I WOULD HAVE STILL BEEN CLUELESS AND WOULD OF STILL HAD SWIRLS AND SCRATCHES ON MY CAR. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!!!!!

I also got some interior products but haven�t had time to detail the interior yet, maybe next weekend.

Here�s what I used for the Exterior, all from Detailed Image.

Lake Country 4 Inch Blue Fine Finishing Pad - 4" 2
Lake Country 4 Inch Orange Light Cutting Pad - 4" 4
Lake Country 4 Inch White Polishing Pad - 4" 4
Lake Country 4 Inch Yellow Cutting Pad - 4" 1
Menzerna Power Gloss - 16 oz
Menzerna Final Polish II (FPII) - 16 oz
Menzerna Intensive Polish (IP) - 32 oz
Blackfire Wet Diamond with Polycharger - 16 oz
Porter Cable 7424XP Random Orbital Buffer

Intensive polish took out about 85 to 90% of the swirls. The power gloss on a yellow pad really helped taking out the deep swirls and scratches.

Here are the 6 steps I did:
1. Wash
2. Claybar (Mother�s Clay bar, didn�t order this I already had it)
3. Menzerna Power Gloss
4. Menzerna Intensive Polish (IP)
5. Menzerna Final Polish II (FPII)
6. Sealant - Blackfire Wet Diamond with Polycharger


HERE ARE THE PICS!! - IGNORE THE POLISH DUST IN SOME OF THE PICS

Doing the interior this weekend!!!

 

nice

 

Wow, that is amazing, very nice!!! I have black and it is so hard not to keep scratches off of it. Do mine, do mine!!!!

 

How much did he charge for the work? Looks great.

 

great work !

 

I know what you mean, it's hard to maintain black, but when it's clean it looks better then anything else!!

Not really looking to make a business out of it. Someone would have to pay me a gooodd amount to do that again. It was a **** load of work, because it was so bad. lol

 

I definately agree with you on the amount of work. I did a full detail on my car like 6 months ago. Takes a lot of time and effort, but it's worth it. Your results are awesome. Mine didn't turn out nearly as good, but I think you used better products.

And seeing the water bead up like that alone makes it all worth it, imo.

 

+1 on the work and on George at Detailed Image. The guy has helped me soooo much.

Did you post these in the detail section?

 

Look awesome but Im curious to know the status of your clear coats after something like that...doesnt it ware them down?

Figure thats how you get all those scratches out.

 

huge improvement bro. nice work. the guys at di are always willing to help.

 

ok, so when can you come to cocoa beach and do mine???

 

Thanks man! What's di?

Sorry man, not really trying to make a business out of it lol.

 

Looks great! No offense but those swirls were hoooooorible! Congrats on getting it to look the way it does, it really looks great!!

DI = Detailed Image, right?

 

ur cars before picture looks exactly like mine im trying to find somebody in the orlando area to take all those swirls out!!!
