Sundog Detailing Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 This car was tougher than it looked. The swirls were deeper than appear in pics and couldn't gets shot of the scratches. This car had clear bra on the bumper, whole hood, front fenders, A pillars, 12inches of the roof, a small section of the rear doors and side skirts. I did a comparison on the wheels between Adam's Green Wheel Cleaner and P21s wheel gel. My pics turned out like crap and won't post them here, but I will say the Adam's perfomed slightly better and is Earth friendly so it comes out as a winner. It was more effective a t loosening baked on brake dust. Before: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitelord Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 nice job!....can i ask whats with the painters tape in the before pics?.... huge difference tho....yay! no more swirls! My guess, is to protect the plastics and/or clear bra, where the correction work was not needed or to keep those areas from being hit when using the pads. But, I could be mistaken.... BTW: Nice work...:thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loud Pedal Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Looks good Taig Did you use the clear polish this time with the machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundog Detailing Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 Looks good Taig Did you use the clear polish this time with the machine? yes I used the machine with the clear polish this time. I started with the flex turned way down until I got a feel for it and then went setting 3 and it worked well. I still need a little more practice at it though, I think I can still achieve better results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron_Von_Awesome Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 That's good to know about the wheel cleaner - I'm almost out of P21S, so I'll definately be picking up some Green Wheel Cleaner to try out! If it can clean those NASTY BBS's, it should have no trouble with mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Nice work Taig! I'd LOVE to see a 1/2 wheel with P21s, and 1/2 wheel with Green Wheel Cleaner comparison on your next detail. Thanks for testing goods for us my friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundog Detailing Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 I had to use a Lake Country green pad as both my Adam's white pads were dirty due to experimenting with some other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
