2006 Sierra. I did this customers Yukon last year as well. This time he wanted his Sierra buttered up. Its his daily driver so as you could imagine there was quite a bit of contaminants and some refinery fall out from around the area. This truck already came in great shape so there wasnt a huge correction to be had. Thus why we went with one step this time, worked perfectly and corrected back to 75-80%. This turned out great and its really tough to show the pop of white but this really did look dripping. Hope you enjoy. Another water free detail, clocked myself at 4:56 duration on this one.Pictures are before/during/after:

good video, ive been destroying foam blocks using them on the sidewalls.

thats odd, i've had mine for a year or so and hadnt had that issue yet. I wonder if your knobs adjust when you put them away? Do you get any change if you adjust as you shoot?
-
nice turn around! Interior looks close to new now. He must drive down dirt roads with the windows down often.

I only use rinsless wash now. Once a week and it takes less time than a full wash. Theres really no need to do a full wash unless its past the point of being able to be rinseless washed. Plus CA drought hit and i still want to keep it clean.

thanks everyone! This was the biggest one i've ever done. ive always had to get a stool to sit on, this one i needed a step ladder! it was a lot of fun and the turn around was great.
heres a 50/50 on the gate to show how terrible the paint was.

This customer wanted me to polish his paint and get the most defects out as i could as he was putting an exo-cage on this coming week. I honestly have never seen paint as hammered as this. There were tons of trail rash as you can see in the pictures. Lots of deep scratches with a lot of thin ones as well. He also just ran the Rubicon so i was up to a pretty heavy task. Owner did not want to have me touch the windows because he honestly didnt care. He didnt want me to touch the undercarriage nor the tires but i couldnt resist. I had to go through a few different products and pads before i finally found one that worked for this paint and situation. This was also the first detail ive done while "mobile". What a pain, i dont know how others can do it, i much prefer home field advantage. This one took roughly 5 hours to complete.Pics:

I liked the wedge a lot. Very light and it cleaned really good. I felt like it would break on me quickly though. Hopefully that's not the case because I enjoyed using it.

It was a nice turn around. I fixed my SLR so these were all from my phone because my battery is dead on the camera. No interior shots as it was just a typical vacuum and wipe down.

Would be great to see a review from some of the people who got to use it a bit already!
its easy, impressive and durable.

Had someone who wanted to strip whatever they put on at the dealership and clay, seal and clean the interior as they have a baby and it was pretty dirty.I didn't have any before pics because he showed up a little late and its a year old so it wasn't in terrible shape to begin with. He washes it himself and has decent OTC stuff. I started off with a strip wash, leading to the tires and wheels being APC cleaned and scrubbed. Moved on the the paint with a standard 2 bucket wash with strip wash soap. Surprisingly this thing was pretty dirty and the water was very dark afterwords. The customer didn't want a polish nor cared about correction so i clayed the paint and wheels along with the windows. Once cleaned off the paint i threw on a sealant and topped that with a glaze/wax. Left a very nice finish even though i was fighting with pollen all day long. The tree out front was dropping pollen balls and blowing it all over the car every time i wiped it off. The small blower was my friends today.I moved on to the inside, vacuuming and then dressing the dash, seats and then door panels. Finished it off with cleaning the glass. once the interior was tip top i moved to dress the tires trim and grille plastics.
Nothing crazy, nor a huge turn around. Cleaned and protected. Customer was very happy and lined up his wife's car for a future date.

The whole passenger side was heavily coated with hard water stains. I got them off but the rear panel was a real pain. So were the windows. MF and Severe polish didnt even touch it.
-
it was definitely pretty haggard. Thanks guys!

Finally got my hands on a friends Scion tC. Its quite haggard as you can see in the before photos. Water stains all over, never washed and just overall neglected. So i went and fixed that. He was going for 60-70% correction and I exceeded that. Im really happy with how this turned out and think it came out amazing.

this has been a long time coming, nice to see it finally adapting into this market. I have no complaints.

Just used this for the first time. I didn't think anything would beat Megs QID. This is a winner. Not sure how this could be improved - maybe a more masculine scent ?
i like the baby powder clean fresh scent a lot. Sticks around for awhile and gives you the smell of "clean"

That's an excellent option too. Just need to warm the tin slowly till liquid then pour into the billet pot.
or melt it out enough to pop it out and rub it like a bar of soap onto your applicator of choice. ive done this with paste waxes that ive applied by machine.
-
Size is a good size. Lots of other companies use similar sizes for their elite waxes and LSPs. With the amount of applicators available in the open market, it's quite ridiculous to complain about such a minuscule thing. Go have a beer dude, chill a minute.

shockingly simple enough to wonder why i never thought of this before.
