gettin the CL professionaly detailed had to my black bitch was just pissin me off i coulndt get her to look the way she deserves

i'l post up some pics when finished

 

you doin it yourself or havin someone do it? What they charging you and what are they doing?


For some proper autocare afterwards

get some waffle weave microfiber towels to dry with www.properautocare.com has good big blue towels, but pricey, but definately worth it

then when you wax, go w/ the air. Go front to back on the hood, roof and trunk and up and down on the sides. Do not go in a circular motion. Also go buy some small microfiber towels to get the wax off with

 

Its worth it to buy an orbital buffer. You can get them preatty cheap ($30) and with a good cleaner wax, i use meguire's, it takes all the swirls and webbs out of the finish. I do it about once a month, my finish looks good besides all the fucking stone chips on the hood

 

microfiber towels is the only way to go when you wash your car, they will not leave marks or nothing, no lint or anything behind

i have a local distributor that sells them that i think are better prices that CLpower's website, ill get it from my buddy when i talk to him next

 

i got the microfiber towels and all it just needs buffing my friends dad is doing it in exchange for some meat ( im a butcher)

saw it yesterday he managed to get out most of the srcatches car looked brand new and he still had to wax it !!!

he said for the remaining sratches hes gunna talk to his friend at the dealership and get the right compound so he can wet sand it !!!!! sweeeeet

 

youre a butcher!!! wow, we've got everything on this board. thats sweet! maybe i can get some meat from one day *wink wink*


lol jk

 

that's fucking awesome that you are a butcher

 

 

wha? whats wrong with that its a hell of a job to have while im still at school i make good loot AND i get to play with knives all day

anyone need some steak ?

 

ill take a one and a half inch thick porterhouse please

 

 

Stop using wax and switch to a polish! Zaino works awesome. Especially on black.

What's wrong with both? I used hand glaze and then wax after as part of a four step process. I don't know how cleaner wax alone would have compared to all this stuff. Dark cars the gloss shows up more dramatically though, that's the thing.. my CL is light blue. Has anybody used the Zaino leather/vinyl treatment?

I was dead serious, that's a sick job

 

do you guys ship? I could definately go for some prime rip!

 

ha nah sorry i just chop up the fresh stuff that comes in


well on a car note its all done and im pickin it up tomarrow he managed to get out the stains in the ceiling that were there from when i bought it and got rid of all but like 2 of the scrathes that were in it car looks brand new i think i love her again

 

What products did you end up using to do this job?

Daniel

 

and ask him how he cleaned the ceiling

 

i'll find out what he used product wise and for the ceiling he used a type of steam washer i believe

 

Z-9 Leather Soft Spray Cleaner & Z-10 Leather in a Bottle work great. Ive tried all of the name brand leather products and like this best. It smells like a new leather coat inside my car after you use this stuff!

 

well i got the car back .i looks sick found out he used meguirs professional grade products ( tan bottle no fancy labels ) just said professional compound ..wax .. polish ect he endedup wet sanding the trunk and part of the roof

i already got him 2 more clients

 

sick, get some pics up!

 

i'll put some up tomarrow .. but being that the whip is fawkin black its already dirty i might just have to give her a wipe down

 

I used the professional grade (tan bottle) swirl mark remover and it worked on the really bad swirls. I usually use 3m cleaner wax with scratch remover and it remove's light swirls. I'm just too fucking lazy to do the whole daymn car, when the next day its dirty already.

 

www.autopia.org has more information on how to clean your car correctly than you'll ever need.

They sell a bunch of great stuff too

 

my exact promblem ... but it has gotten a real good polish and wax in a few years so i figured its time

i'll do a 1 step evry few months but it needed the werks

 

Autopia is great, but sometimes you have to read between the lines on peoples views

 

now you guys know why I repainted my car

 

well i was gunna go snap some pics but its cloudy here and theres already a fawkin layer of dust/pollen on the ride looks like im gunna have to post some up when i finally get my lip painted .. which is hopefully soon

 

Yup.. I've bought myself a California Car Duster.. too much work, eh?

Daniel

 

My friend hooked me up with some meguiars product that took out alllll the swirl marks on my black cl. I dont rememebr what its called but it comes in a light beige bottle (maybe all meguiars come in that color i dunno, but just in case).....well any ways i applied it like a wax and i put it everywhere but the roof cuz i was too lazy and sure enough you cant see them any more, except for the sides of the roof which i didnt touch....
