Default Wash Your Car With A Brillo Pad Anyone?
LOL, so this is a customer's vehicle that I had the fortunate opportunity of detailing. I swear this owner washed their vehicle with either a brillo pad or steel wool









A couple of after pics.

The guy across the street from me actually did this. He told me he'd gotten some house paint on the car by accident, and grabbed the first thing he found, which was a scotchbrite pad.

Impressive! What was your process here? Do you know how much thickness you took off?

One pass of Menzerna Power Gloss with a yellow pad and one pass with Menzerna Nano Polish 0106FA with a white pad. IIRC, 3 microns were removed.
