Todays deep red looking 2001 beauty came in with overspray all over the rear right quarter panel! Good thing Arnold brought it to me promptly after finding out that his Audi caught some overspray from the painters next door. The paint was still fairly fresh from the day before so no baked on paint to remove! A lot of clay was used, and a lot of overspray was removed. The entire car got a full 2-step polish treatment followed by the clay, and topped with Four Star Ultimate Paint Protection.

Yes, that foam cannon is as fun as it looks! Haha!

The paint condition was pretty good considering the last time I did polishing on it was almost a year ago. Since then, it’s been on many road trips and parked outside most of the time. Scratches were minimal (wash technique!) but it definitely needed a good claying, and a fresh coat of LSP. I went with a slightly more abrasive polish to rid the few swirls and scratches in certain areas, followed by a finishing polish throughout the car. Topped with a layer of all natural brazilian carnuba wax, and an hour after that, a layer of synthetic polymer sealant.

Excuse the delayed post, been busy the past few days.

The day after doing Thanh’s GF’s civic, he brought in his toy TSX. He was nice enough to bring it in nice and dirty back from a LA trip he took a few weeks ago. A lot of grime was built up on the paint – I had to switch out my soap bucket in the middle of the wash. The car didn’t seem like it has been clay bar’d before as that took most of the time. I’ve done so many TSX’s now that it’s almost systematic what I do, I practically do not even test the product, I already know what combo is needed. As such:

I definitely did not expect to spend 7 hours on this car. O well – Thanh has been a supporter even before he got his own detailed, so I didn’t mind the extra work. Swirls were abundant and many light-medium scratches as well. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves. I’m exhausted. Tomorrow I will be doing Thanh’s other car.

I love this Red/Gold color combo! Geoffrey took on my offer of which I would be donating 85% of the cost to the American Cancer Society. Boy, did he hop on that deal QUICK! I posted the deal on Facebook, and within 20 minutes, this man was all over it. I was only offering this deal to one person! This job was practically 0% profit, and all efforts were made to benefit ACS. I must say, that this car came out absolutely stunning. It must be the red, but I was super impressed with the outcome.
