Forza Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 My friend owns a black Lexus and I noticed how bad his swirls were. I asked him if he didn't mind if I tried to correct his paint. Here is my first detail using a Portal Cable and the normal suite if Adams products. I would love feedback on my results. I spent about 8 hours on the detail, is that a lot or normal? My hand is killing me I found it very difficult to get it 100% correct. My friend loves the results so that makes me happy. ***BEFORE PICS*** ***AFTER PICS*** Kimberly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marylander Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Very nice turnaround -- you're a good friend! For a first time with the PC, plus the interior and all the other stuff you did, that's a great result for 8 hours of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue04SSS Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 It looks really good. 8 hours looks to be about right. Ive spent more and ive spent less hours detailing. But the longer one was really bad and the less was my personal truck and a flex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjhpadi Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I agree with these guys, 8 hours is about right especially for a vehicle that looks like it has had the finish as abused as this one. You had a great turn around, the car looks great. You may have had better luck removing more of the swirls if you had some Severe Swirl & Haze Remover to apply. However, I'm surprised your hand is bothering you. You may have been applying more pressure then necessary. I have arthritis and normally don't have any pain after detailing unless I'm doing a bunch of steps by hand. I would suggest using a bit less pressure when applying and removing. All Adam's products work fine using just little pressure. Anyway, good job for your first time, you did great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forza Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 Wow thanks for all the compliments members! I didn't think I would be able to squeeze in this much work in one weekend, but a little bit each day from Friday-Sunday was enough. There were times when if felt like I would NEVER get done. All I kept thinking was "OMG I have so much more car to do. OMG I'm only on pass 1 of 3." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forza Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 I will let him know about the 2-bucket wash, and also to stay away from car washes that touch the paint. Kimberly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
