that was about the 4th clay bar that the rtuck killed, that was after a few passes. the whole passenger side was cover`d in some of the worst tar/over spray i have ever seen.
.








i thought the truck was black, and it was when i started, but it ended up being grey with a very deep metalic flake.....

I am really proud you taped off all the spots you wouldn't want the wax to discolor!

Here is a tip of my own, use tire shine cleaner under the wheel well to give a nice deep black shine.

Today i did a a 2001 SL500 with 26,000 miles on it.
the paint was in ok, shape.... lots of swirls but no real oxidization since it had been garage kept.
the owner paid to have it detailed befor i got to it....









the entire car was covered with bad swirl marks, as well as light scratches.

as the process moves along you can see that the paint can become like a mirrior.

not a great picture, but you get the idea.



no more swirl marks


inside came out great






wash with meguiares NXT crazy purple stuff
meguiares professinal mild clay
rewash
light swirl remover with semi agressive pad
custom blend of cleaner wax with a med pad
Menzerna finishing glaze
wolfgang paint sealant
with a few minor tricks in there to get it to pop.
