That's what I'm talkin about!! B-4 and After. You are still the MAN!!! What a turnaround! Was the owner impressed. I am!

[gb387]

Sure does look white again. Nice before and after!

[f1guy68]

Thanks Guys!

Yes..the owner was impressed! He thought it was hopeless!

And that's where the "It's All White" came into play!

That's what I said to him as he was paying the bill and crying about the price...hahahahahaha

There, There Now...It's All White...hahahahaha Show me the money...There, There Now...It's All White...

I only charged the guy $75.00 to do the whole exterior, and he got all the trim, tires, rubbers dressed! Windows Cleaned, and I gave a quick vacuum and wipe down of the interior!

Boohooo! Can't give the work away...lol

That seems fair. How long did the job take? About 2.5 hrs??

Good job! :xyxthumbs

Paint gets dirty below the surface. Cleaning the paint, not merely compound and scouring the finish removes the dirt that build up slowly over time thus revealing the true color of the paint.

What I tried to explain in the article "The Lesson White Paint Teaches Us", was this deterioration in paint while easily noticeable on white, is less noticeable on darker colors, but... it's takes place just the same.

That's why if you or our customer owns a daily driver constantly exposed to outdoor environments, or inclement weather, that it's important to clean the paint using a dedicated paint cleaner, cleaner/polish, or cleaner/wax.

scrub,

This job took 3.5 hours! It was hard to get it clean!

Maybe I should have used the Hi-Speed, but I wanted to see what the PC would do in this situation!

It faired well in my opinion!


Mike,

Thanks for the thumbs up!

White can be a very nasty color for dirt, but a dream when it comes to swirls...lol
