First picture post for me so hopefully I get it right.
I'm assamed to admit that I work for a dealership and they deserve the bad rep that they get. I think between the untrained workers and the everything has to be done yesterday mentality is why their cars look the way they do.
Its a small shop and I have more freedom to try and get the cars properly detailed. I went out on my own to learn more so that I wouldnt produce unproperly detailed vehicles. Seems like they are willing to pay techs to learn but not detailers.
That being said here is the Vette.
Story goes its the owners car and sits around in a garage with the tops out stuff all over the top of it and cats walking on it. The car was repainted but I'm not sure how long ago. I wasnt able to get any before shots but from the looks of the paint it was a bad buff job done at the body shop.(which they own)
Paint was really hazed and had lots of buffer trails.
Process was as follows:
Washed with PRO Cherry Suds
Rims PRO Non Acid
Clayed with Clay Magic
I started out with the rotary and a CAS polishing pad with M80 @1400rpms.
This took everything out but I had guess you could say "Dealer installed swirls"
Usually I dont have this problem and i think I worked the product alittle to long. Being that this was my project I went home and picked up my DA which was new and I never used. I only had one polishing pad and did not want to mix the products so I used M83 w/W-8006 @ 5.
Car looked awesome after that.
Finished up with NXT liquid on DA w/W-9006 and taken off by hand.
Interior was cleaned with PRO Franks Special Cleaner and the carpets were extracted with PRO Xtract.
Windows were done with AutoMagic Glass Cleaner.
Motor and tires dressed with SDI HI GLO
Here are the results

That is one nice ride

If that car doesn't sell after, then the people looking at are blind, and I don't mean by the shine.
