StormChaser Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 So a few months ago you guys and gals may remember I was helping a friend detail his G8. Well while we were at the car wash doing a 2nd coat of wax (on a dif weekend) this guy pulls up behind us in a Black SLK. Nice cars always turn heads...and this was no different. This guy gets out and pulls out his cleaning supplies. Then I see a sham wow or something of that nature. I had my friend walk over with me to talk to this guy. Introduced ourselves and began to show him what little product I had with me at the time & sent him to this forum. He signed up (NBarcelo) and is on here once in a while to read up on stuff. Before my Tail of the Dragon trip I met up with Nick and his SLK to do a full detail. I don't have many "before" shots but I do have some wicked after shots. We did used the following products I have: > Car Shampoo > Clay > DS > Swirl & Haze Remover > Revive Polish > Americana > VRT > Glass Cleaner > Leather Cleaner > Leather Conditioner It was about 38 degrees with the wind chill so that is why I don't have many pics of the process. The winds were up to 20 - 30 mph. I did get to introduce all of these products to Nick. I even made him smell each one too! I washed and dried my SUV with the waffle towel. It was soaking wet. I rang it out and checked on Nick. He was using cheap MF towels to dry his car. I immediately stopped him and told him to use the towel I had. He thought it was pointless because well it was soaking wet and yet so was his whole car. I just laid it on the hood and lightly dragged it down - it was bone dry! BOO YA. We did not do the Swirl & Haze on Nick's car because it was so windy it was a PITA to get it off. Ok so on to the pictures. :) Nick learning how to clean wheels REALLY ICKY My ride in process I saw this somewhere on here PB gets out the wax OOPS on trim. Nick showing me how to clean my exhaust (I don't have anything to use for that yet) I told you there weren't many "before" shots. On to the "after" shots. He brought along one of his BMW buddies with him. Playin with color swap on the camera My ride.... Just look at the frigging metallic in the paint!!!! Line up of Nicks SLK, a BMW, & my ride HOLY SHINE FROM THE SLK!!!!!! GAWD my blue is DEEP. I can't wait to do the Brilliant Glaze....oh baby! AND FOR GIGGLES....This guy was there too. LOL And....yes yes yes I know that I need the wheels and wheel wells done! MUAHAHAHA. I was exhausted and I knew it was going to be two weeks before I went to the dragon....Don't hurt me too much! HAHA. Also, Dylan, I did the clay and wax on my rims. HOLY SMOOTHNESS!!!! I am not kidding...my wheels felt A M A Z I N G!!! And I get to TN two weeks after that...and WIPED the brake dust off with water and MF towel....oh yea that is AMAZING! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can totally be demanding when needed. Once you said they were bugging ya...I give them a few minutes to drool over your ride then I yell "get back to work" hahahahaha I'm a slave driver. You better still be in town for when you get that PC!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
