GGEVOXFTMFW Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 This is the father's car of the detail job from a week ago or so with the girl's destroyed red Matrix. The dad called me Monday wanting his whole car done Friday. I asked today if he wanted two steps of polish or just one, and he went with just one. So that's all I had to work with on a severely swirled/scratched car. I took my time with lots of befores, and after I was done I was only able to snag a few afters before he pulled in the driveway. Enjoy! Befores: Afters: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Mark, just wish I had the time for afters. I backed it out of the garage, and he pulled up two minutes later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fit08 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Now that car needed some TLC for sure. Need some pics of the after such as door handle area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya I wish I wasnt in such a rush with the afters. I think thats the worst case of hand nail scratches Ive seen thus far, with it being on every door handle instead of just one. Usually it doesnt stand out that bad, or normally only on black cars. Normally its not on a mans car that much, and typically on a females ride which is what threw me. Also it looked like the hood, roof, and truck were cleaned off with a snow brush, and made all scratches everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGEVOXFTMFW Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 (edited) I do NOT understand how people let their cars get that bad.....just blows my mind. Being a school teacher you would think he would be on it. Only thing that really didnt need much help was the seats. I was shocked with them being almost 8 yr old leather, and the condition of the rest of the car. They were still kind of soft, and sort of supple, no cracks, no dry rotting. Also the tailpipes were all rusted out, and no means of treatment. The wheels had baked on brake dust, and rust that didnt come off, and the tires were pretty dry rotted. I started with the exterior first, and then was playing catch up with the inside after running into some claybar issues, and my garden hose decided not to work for me. My good clay was really shot so I was forced to use generic over the counter crap, and that REALLY slowed up my processs on the outside far as dirt, and bugs. So ended up needing every last second of time to the time I said it would be done. So not even two minutes later he pulled in, and I was mad at myself for not having the good clay before hand, being rushed, and having good afters to match all the torn up befores.
