Only if I had a garage...

So anyways just picked up some products to work with since I just got a PC for xmas.

Menzerna SIP
Menzerna Final Polish
Menzerna Power Lock

LC CCS Orange, Gray, Blue pads

Autogym HD Wax to top it all off.

Hopefully I find a place to knock this out one of these weekends and post up some pictures.

 

You should add some Optimum No Rinse if you don't have a garage.

Find a friend/neighbor/family member that has a garage to complete the detail in. You don't want to polish in sunlight.

 

IYHO, are the products I have good? I'll have to look into ONR. I think the products I have will do a good bit of correction that is needed for my car.

 

Yeah, for a first timer you should be happy with those polish/sealant. Once you get some experience you'll know more of what you want/don't want in terms of products.

 

Awesome thread idea Jason!

Here is a 09 Titanium Grey R35 I did last weekend. The car had nearly 20k on the clock and had been to 30+ HDPE events so is was very brake dusty in the wheel wheels to say the least. Another note this particular car came with Nissan's "Hard Clear Coat" finish so it was in fantastic shape and only needed spot polishing.


Main products used:

-2 Bucket method Lusso Auto Bathe +2oz of Meg's APC
-Clayed with Uber Blue Clay/ONR Clay Lube
-Menzerna 106FA with Uber Blue pad
-Menzerna Power Lock with Microfiber Block
-Dodo Juice Supernatural with yellow foam hand applicator


On with the before pics...

Wheel well's need extra love.. Megs APC 4:1 and Sonax FE







Clay for the baked on stuff....


EZ Brush on the suspension bits..

Large fender brush on the inside..



OK here is a test to put to bed the Sonax FE VS. BMW private label stuff.

Looks good Nick. What shop is that? Have you opened your own detail shop yet?

I sent a Baltimore resident your way btw.

 

Thanks Jason! The shop is owned by a friend I usually do everything in my own garage but it was a little on the chilly/windy side so doing it inside that place was like a dream come true indoor hose hookup ,floor drains, heat, T5 lighting detailer HEAVEN!!
