Skinner Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Ahh yes another detailed thread. This was my first attempt at detailing a car. Now I have waxed cars in the past but never put this kinda effort into it. washed car with dawn mothers clay bar mothers cali gold carwash Meguiars deep crystal paint cleaner step 1 Meguiars deep crystal polish step 2 Meguiars deep crystal wax step3 mazda http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b180/smskinner/car1.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b180/smskinner/car3.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b180/smskinner/car2.jpg van http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b180/smskinner/van1.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b180/smskinner/van2.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b180/smskinner/van3.jpg the only things i noticed when doing the van since it was a darker color the polish and wax seemed to streak a little in spots. Also noticed how cleaning and prepping the paint brought out the orange peel in the paint a bit. Other than that I'm very happ with the results.

wnaplay1647545503 Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 I thought dishwashing detergent did more harm than good. It removes the wax I believe. Anyways, the pictures look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coty061885 Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 That's exactly the same process I used on my car last summer. That was the cleanest it ever was. Your car looks better, probably because it's newer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
