  • Detailed my friends car (pics)

    I forgot to take any before pictures, but it was in pretty bad shape. Let me know what you think.

    My process:
    Wash
    Clay
    Mequiar's Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner
    Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover
    Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant

      Looks great.. did you wash it after you clayed it? I always just thought it was good habit to wash it again and get all the lubricant off the paint before polishing.

      Very nice though, i use the same megs paint cleaner and love it. How do you like the other products you used?

        You're suppose to wash it after, but I was using quick detail and drying the sections with a microfiber cloth as I went so I didn't bother.

        The wolfgang polish was alright at taking out light swirls, but I needed to use something more aggressive if I wanted to get this car perfect. I left behind some defects just because he doesn't care about the car being perfect.

        I was pretty happy with the wolfgang sealant. It has a nice sharp shine and seems to bead up well in the rain. I only used one layer on this car, but next time I detail my car I'm going to use 2-3 layers then top it with some S100 and see how that looks. I can't say how well it will hold up over time as this is the first time I have used it but, it does go on and wipe off very easily.

            I just did it as a favor. Plus, I wanted to try my new wolfgang stuff and didn't want to use it on my car yet.

                Wash:
                NXT car wash - $8.99
                Microfiber wash mitt - $6.99
                Two buckets - ?
                Two grit guards - $9.99 x 2

                Clay:
                Clay bar - $12.99
                Mequiars Quick Detail spray - $6.99 (I ran out of the lubricant that came with the bar when I originally bought it)

                Cleaner:
                Mequiar's Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner - $5.99

                Polish:

                Sealant

                Plus various other microfiber/waffle weave towels. It adds up quick, but the only things I didn't have before this detail were the wolfgang polish and sealant and I got those at 25% off because of a dicount from another forum.
