Just a quick before and after shot. I didn't take nearly enough after pics, so you will have to take my word that it was a major improvement.











Really thought I shot more after pics.

 

Major improvement! Looks clean man

 

Can you explain what you did to get rid of those scratches?

 

Here is a quick run down
Dawn wash
Clayed with Zaino Z-18 w/Z7 for lube
Meguiars M105 w/Flex 3401 Tangerine LC pad
Dawn Wash
Zaino Z-PC w/Flex Black LC pad
Zaino Z-5 by hand
Z-6 with Zaino Blonde towels

 

Nice man! Those little scratches can really spoil the shine. . .

 

any sun shots of the afters? j/w?

 

every single time I see pictures like these it makes me want to go buff my civic. lol

Nice work.

 

I didn't end up with any afters of the passenger side. I lack any real photography skills. It is my sister's car though so I might be able to get some still. She just bought it and it had def seen it share of gas station washes. I would say the correction was in the 90% range. The brother in law should be able to keep it up ok now.

 

2 pics go by.. "really though I shot more after pics" haha killed me man .

Looks clean!! You can clean my car when ever ya want.

 

How hard was the clearcoat on this navigator?

I have one to do on friday.

 

It was easy to work with. The Z-PC on a tangerine pad fared pretty well on the swirls that were on the whole vehicle. 105 wiped them out. I was fairly aggressive on some spots with a rotary. (This was actually an insurance job) There was plenty of clear to work with too that is for sure.

 

I know I was pissed. I am just not real good at write ups, and especially not as good as the regulars on here. I am always pressed for time, and once I get going I don't think to stop to take pictures. Another reason for quick pics is I am not supposed to be in the Sun at all myself lol. Much less in shorts and a t-shirt. So I hide out in the garage. I tried shots inside with a halogen lights on other cars, but they suck. I have a good camera, but no skills with it.

Next time I will try to get some quality pics.

 

Saw my sister today. Truck has been washed twice since, and not by me. It is also filthy in these iPhone pics.

 

looks like the black lexus i did last year. it was god awful but came out like a mirror
