Default Past Due

I had let my ride get rough looking so it was major whammy time. After wash & dry the Cyclo was used to apply Wolfgang Polish to remove swirls. After that was removed with a microfiber towel Wet Paint was applied, also with the Cyclo. Removal with more MF towels. The last step was to hand apply/remove Finish Kare #425 spray. That helps to get any smidges of WP that were missed, gives a little more pop to the flake, and a dust repellent surface which is important here in South TX. Interior, wheels, wheel wells, engine, inside of trunk, hood, door jambs, all was done. Time was 6+ hours. The next day I took the car in for a four wheel allignment and got a detailing job!! A fellow customer in the waiting room commented on the car, I told him it was mine and that I detail cars......KA-CHING!

The pictures will upsize a little, I had to severely reduce them to fit.

Thanks, it was just a chance deal but it worked out. The fella has an Accord Hybrid that's graphite gray. It should really turn out well.
