After practicing on my 2004 Chevy TB, I decided to give my wife’s car a little attention. This car is only a few months old so not really fair to call this a detail. After a few months of snow, salt, rain, mud, etc., I thought all I would need to do was wash & wax.
Wrong!
I did the plastic bag clay test and was horrified at the results. So I decided to go ahead and clay, polish, seal, and then wax. There were only a very few small swirl marks so I decided not to use the SSHR and SHR. Not to mention, I was scared to death of ruining my wife's car!
Here is what I did on this 2nd detail using the PC 7424 XP :
Junkman 2 bucket wash
Claybar using DS
2nd Junkman 2 bucket wash
Complete DS wipedown and dry
White - FMP
Black - MSW 1 coat
Wait 24 hours
Complete DS wipedown
Brilliant Glaze
Americana - 1 coat
It was difficult to capture on camera just how bright this thing really was!
Here is a shot inside the garage. The Americana gave the color a rich and deep look. This stuff is awesome!
The polish with Adam's FMP, took out all small marks. This is the best looking hood I have ever owned.
So I learned that even a new car can be improved with good products and
a few Junkman videos.
This thing looked so good, I had a few neighbors call 911 and report a UFO in my driveway!
Bottom Line - my wife loved the job I did on her car and the products speak for themselves. I'm hooked!
