Todays Escalade detail.

As mentioned in a previous thread, heres an example of what Duragloss Pink Buffing Gel can do. Well, let me rephrase, do to early morning weather, I couldnt get any good before shots. So, I'll spill some beans about this detail. This client calls every 4-6 months for a detail on her Escalade. It gets taken to the scratch and dash quite frequently, so believe me, its dinged and tattered and swirled and pretty beaten up. I dont even try to get it pristine, just cleaned up as best I can without compromising whats left of the clear. It has a couple panels that have been repainted, as evident with the drips. The interior usually has coffee stains, the cup holders usually gooey with sugar laced coffee. A perfect candidate for the Sonic Pro Detailer. I took pics with my dauhters camera, but I was lucky the following pics even came out. Out of 52 pics (Between the Escalade and the Porsche), I think 30 came out.
So here it is, the best I can do under the circumstances.
DG PBG/#111/P2 Green

DG PBG/#111/P2 Green Dispensed (and too much I might add!)

1st pass

2nd pass

3rd pass, coming alive!

Wallah!

Heres some other photos I though worthy of sharing....
The wheels had water spots due to the NRWS, as well as some general cleaning needs. I thought this would be a good time to share with you the versatility of Freedom Original cleaner, and One Grand ERV. Better pics under the Porsche detail thread (coming soon)
Heres a shot of the wheels before

Now after Freedom Original and One Grand ERV.

I also have devised a new and safer method for NRWS (which I have pics for, but cant share at the moment until some things are finalized!) I'll keep you posted though, its nothing mind blowing, just a little creative, and I have found its really improves the safety margin for using Optimum NRWS.

I'm likin' the ERV and Freedom . . . I think that would make one hell of a combo package. What ya' think? Now, I gotta see if I can get an advance on my "allowance". lol!

ok I am cornfused. You used pbg and the 111 on the same pad at the same time? Is that a pro short cut? I have been polishing then sealing 2 seperate steps. Or is this just a PBG and a 111 trick? Looks good.

Another good combo is OP & OSW. You gotta play around with the ratios to get the desired result. Use the 4 oz plastic sample bottles with the flip top caps like the one pictured below.
