    AC Detailing..

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Just wanted to show our work. So here is the final result with our trials and tribulations of super soft honda paint, and trying to get the most possible correction within a time/price limit. After the customer picked up the car, he was very pleased with the work, and we went over with him how the paint was going to look in the sun, and even showed him under different lights just what to expect (picked it up at night time). I was able to get about 95% corrected though..

    Exterior

    Rims/Tires/Wheel wells were pressure washed
    Dressed with Megs HD 2:1
    Pressure wash the entire car
    Wash with Megs Gold Class soap+Shmitt
    Dry with DD Uber Waffle Weave Towel
    Clay with Megs Mild Yellow+Megs QD
    Wash again
    Final combination:
    Menzerna SIP+CCS White at 1200-1400-1200 for 2 passes
    Menzerna PO106FA+CCS Black at 800-1200-800
    Menzerna PO85RD+CCS Blue at 800rpms
    Prepsol wipe down

    Re: AC Detailing..

    David whats up bro. I still didnt get the S4 back. The finally followed the directions of you guys. I think they are stalling. For going on 5 months now they had my car I have been very patient with them (its a family owned and operated biz) so I think they would work on cars before mine and then, when they got the noticed that they will be now VW's authorized service center my car got pushed to the back. Its biz cant really blame them, just hope he takes that into consideration. What if someone had to pay a car payment and insurance and have no car. I am lucky in my case so for me I just want it back. Suppose to be ready for pick up early next week. Thanks for all the help.

    And if you can get some guys together we could come out a do a weekend detail session. And you know prices can always be worked out. Just let me know. Ill be posting more work when I finally get off AZ.hahaha.

    Re: AC Detailing..

    I just posted pics in the detailing sub forum on the board of a ext/int detail with no paint correction done.

    I will keep this post in the Nor Cal section updated every time I put new work up in the detail sub forums incase you all are interested in checking it out. Take care and Aloha.
