This vehicle was scheduled for my new vehicle CQF package which includes a one step polish. This is the 3rd vehicle I have done for this family. The hood needed some work which actually took me over the time (by 2 hours) I had quoted but since they've been good to me, I did it anyway.


Here it is as it arrived:


























Some light swirling visible outside; wait till you see how it looked inside!











A pretty big chip on the driver's door:





OK, check out the hood inside:





I know I'm skipping ahead, but here it is after one stepping it with Megs mf + M205 + Rupes 21:







The process was as follows:


Wheel barrels were cleaned with Tarminator
Barrels then cleaned with Zep Citrus
Faces cleaned with Zep Citrus
Tires cleaned with Zep 505 until no longer brown
Wells cleaned with LATA

Barrels then coated with Permanon.

Vehicle hand washed with DG 901
Vehicle decontamination-removal wash with IronX paste
Vehicle decontamination with Speedy Prep towel

Vehicle blown off with Master Blaster


For the paint correction on the hood, I did the above steps with the Rupes. For the rest of the vehicle, including going back over the hood, I used my black TB wool + M205 + Flex 3401. That was followed by an Eraser wipe down.

The wheels, paint, head and tail lights as well as all glass except for the windshield were coated with CQF X 2. The windshield was coated with Fly By 30. The trim was coated with DLux. The tires were shot via air gun with Opti Bond @ 100%.


Here we are all done. Figures, another totally cloudy day!! At least it wasn't raining.





























Chip repaired:








Talk about a sharp reflection...it cut off my legs, hehehehe.




The owner will like this reflection :)









The only real sun shots I could get that day:











DLux looking amazing!








A "Flawless Refection"









This last shot is the reflection of the wheel from the RF door:




Thanks for looking!
