This... people always ask how much ill charge for wax and ask them if they want to pay to have it done correctly or not. prep is definitely key to a good foundation for the rest of the products applied after that

So I did some work this weekend and finally opened it and removed about 6" section of cord where the wires inside had basically kinked broken.
I take of it pretty well and do my best to keep the cord from twisting in the wrong way but I was able to put new ends on the wires and add a layer of heat shrink to prevent it
from moving or kinking in the future so hopefully that stays remedied

I never did get pictures of this one when I originally fixed it back in November but I did some touch for one of my customers and I absolutely love this car.
Was driven through some sprinklers so I had to remove some water spots from it yesterday.
PS.. That's my GTI in the background
 

Had the opportunity to clean up this Jeep for a friend of mine this weekend while the weather was nice. I'm still learning things as I go and do this in my free time so I'll use this thread to keep track on my progress, take in constructive criticism and help others along the way.
 
I know the fundamental basics of paint correction and protection as I've done a few vehicles and most of them being black.
Here is what it looked like before. It wasn't in bad shape but it did need a little TLC.
 

 
Started off with a soak, laid down the strip wash with the wash pad, tire and rubber cleaner, and brought it over to clay.
Here is after the clay.
 

 
 
Now that I had it clayed. Washed it with the car shampoo and scrubbed the engine bay with the Eco All Purpose Cleaner and a soft bristle brush.
After washing the engine bay I just let it sit to dry while the outside was dried with compressed air and the drying towel.
 
 
 

 
 
After this the engine was left alone and looked great!!
 
On to the scratches, spots and discoloration. Always look the vehicle over and notate or keep a mental picture of the imperfections to address on the next step.
 
 
 


 
 
Used the DA Polisher with the orange pad and the correcting polish to touch up those areas that need some attention. Although not very noticeable, I wanted to take that extra step for the wow factor upon delivery of the vehicle. Once those are gone, its time to add sealant, glaze and wax.
 
 

 
 
Put sealant on the entire vehicle including the windows. Applied the brilliant glaze and finally the Americana Paste wax which took forever to dry!!!! Didn't help that it was very humid that day.
 
 
 
 

 

 
 
Finished up with the interior being vacuumed, spot clean with the interior cleaner then added the interior detailer.
Exterior was wiped down, inspected and added a little amount of tire shine for the clean, not overdone, look.
 

 
REALLY enjoyed doing this one!!
This is my first vehicle of the year and hope for many more to come.
Until next time!!

That color is definitely sweet!!! Welcome!!

If/when you use it, make sure you apply sealant and/or wax to protect the finish. otherwise it will be bare clearcoat. if the car already has layers of wax/sealant then just use the car shampoo until you have time to do a proper detail. when its colder I don't wash my car as often and I just rinse it off with a wand until I can strip wash and reapply wax on a warmer day

Unfortunately I didn't get any pics of the damage that was left but it had some really bad water spots on the rear fenders by the doors, on the carbon spoiler (which I was nervous to touch)
and had lots of residue left over from the protective film for shipping. The hood had a scratch from who knows what and one of the guys tried to clean it up and made it worse. The owner is the service director for a buick/gmc dealer and let one of his detail guys try to buff it out.

update on this. kourtney reached out to me and shes got me taken care of.
 
shes super awesome btw. not just because of this but because she has a mk7 and supports the car community as a whole.
 
keep up the great work kourtney and all the Adams team

I don't have anything to trade for that wheel brush that you don't already have but seeing that it isn't a chemical I would send you some money for it.

Don't run out of product mid full-on paint correction job.. almost did that last week

yeah, I double checked on my profile for another tracking link and checked off the items on the packing list. Im not upset or anything about. I know for sure they must be hectic with the tons of orders coming in. Just wondered if they were sending the MB in a separate box since I didn't get it with my other items. I sent in an email to customer service so hopefully they get back with me sometime soon.

Always  nice to see a vehicle cleaned up better than when delivered. I recently cleaned up a brand new Jaguar F-Type SVR that was scratched all over and had residue from shipping wrap and the owner was stunned to see what a difference there was 

Don't buy mystery boxes or buckets if you're going to complain about what you get.    

So I got some pictures of the car up. Had to watch the tutorial since im blind and cant see the "Attach files" button at the bottom haha.

I give my stuff to a friend before I run out... I don't want to see the sadness of an empty bottle
