Dylan06SS Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 (edited) No before shots this time guys (sorry) you'll just have to take my word for it... it was shitty. 06 'hoe... 17k miles... waxed 2 times since new... not garaged... car wash visitor every couple of weeks. Weather was good as far as temps but theres a thunderstorm rolling into San Diego and I think the edge was making its way up here b/c I was contending with bad light all day... even rained for a couple of minutes. Did the best I could with the pics, but the sun kept ducking behind the clouds. Process: Adams car wash soap, 2 bucket method w/ grit guards, sheep skin mitMisted w/ Adams QD spray, dried w/ white waffle weave MF drying towels Clayed with Adams purple clay 1 pass w/ DER Tuff Stuff on Green Durafoam pad 1 pass w/ DER Real Stuff on White Durafoam pad Topped off with 2 coats of DER Shiney applied by hand Wheels & bumpers polished by hand with REJEX Adams VRT on all trim Adams Invisible Undercarriage spray inside fenders NOT SHOWN -Complete engine and interior detail Adams Invisible Undercarriage Spray is ****ing phenomenal IMO :worship:I more pics coming....

Spoolin Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Beautiful color I agree!! I love mine and love seeing it washed and waxed. Too bad It's starting to have some bad scratches on it from DD'ing! Beautiful truck bro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan06SS Posted August 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Thanks man! I love how a complete DER process really makes the metallic pop on this paint... by far my favorite treatment for this color... I am contemplating adding a layer of Adams MSW or Buttery wax before the Sealer just for some more depth next time I detail this color.

Dylan06SS Posted August 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 and this is why the 2 bucket method and grit guards are so damn important... can't wait to get the foam gun I ordered and try it out. This is the rinse bucket... I stirred it up a little just to show how much junk ends up in your water after washing... GRIT GUARDS FTMFW!! Bonus of the day was a dude rollin by with a fairly new 500 benz... stopped and started asking me some detailing questions. He parked and came in the garage... watched a few minutes of me getting the swirls out of the fenders and it blew his mind... decided he needed me to take care of his car!! *cha-ching* I'll be doing a full detail of it on the 22nd.

Grit guards is the red vent type thing to the right in the last pic. you put it at the bottom of the bucket so all the dirt, sand, whatever falls down beneth and you dont pic it back up with your wash mitt, sponge or whatever and you can also scrup you washing item on it to remove anything attached that shouldnt be there.

Yep... also helpful to use in a washboard type action to get the grit off the mit each time it goes into the bucket and the bottom of it is "finned" which keeps the grit from coming back to the surface via turbulence when you insert your mit into the bucket. They sell for $10 thru a number of detail places... cheap investment in keeping you paint as swirl free as possible. I use one in each of the 2 buckets for double protection. As a matter of fact you can get them thru this guy: http://www.glimmerglassdetailing.com/gritguard.html Edited August 27, 2007 by Dylan06SS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan06SS Posted September 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 I think a PM would've been a more effective way to go... but anyways... Shoot me an email ([email protected]) and we'll talk about it. I need to know mostly what you want done, paint correction, interior cleaning, engine bay, etc. Also, if you have factory paint. I'm located in Rancho Cucamonga (91730) where are you located? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
