Today details, F150, Vw Toureg, 335i
Long day to say the least. I started out with the F 150, which hadn't seen a detailer as long as I have known these fine folks. About 3 years now! Ive only washed it a few times, but never taken a PC to it. Well today it met its match. BF paint wash (old formula), Optimum Medium grade grey clay, 1Z PP, an Orange pad, UPP with a grey pad, diluted Smart Dressing for tires, DG All Wheel Cleaner for wheels.

Next up, the Toureg, and some of the most beautiful paint I have ever had the pleasure of working on. Washed with BF paint wash (a real old formula), DG All Wheel Cleaner for the wheels, Sonus Ultra Light Clay, diluted Smart dressing for tires. DG 105 with a green pad for the paint. Interior leather treated with DG Leather conditioner.

And finally, what was to have just been a wash, ended up getting detailed. The rear deck was suffering from some water etching, so I broke out some Optimum Compound with a green pad. The used DG 105 over everything except the PPF on the front hood, and fron of the 1/4 panels. The owner was a little disturbed when I showed them the same etching under the PPF! I sealed that up with AW. Duragloss All Wheel Cleaner for the spokes, One Grand ERV for the tires. Beautiful twin turbo, and a very pleasing color. No befores as it was originaly destined for just a wash, and I forgot, plus I was a little pooped....lol
But here is a beautiful car for sure!

+2, I ordered my almost full artiliary (sp?) from Excel for the first detail of my ABP last week. I only hope it turns out half as good as Patrick gets the cars he works on.

I have just recently worked out the info with 1Z USA. Im working on the order as we speak, (Which should have been done last week, but ran out of time), i hope to carry a little bit of everything. I will more then likely start with the 3 polishes and wax/sealant to get it off the floor though.
