My $30.00 Dollar Detail Job
Actually NOT mine, But Mine to fix :cussing: I got the call from one of my closest friends, the phone call started with a "Boy are you going to be Mad" that alone was enough for me to get all worried, I went and picked the car up, It's a Jaguar, Black, one of the special edition 400hp bla bla bla, My good friend decided to have the car detailed by a so called "Pro Detailer" TOTAL COST $30.00, This is exactly what happens when someone without a clue uses a high speed buffing machine, and the guy is a "Pro Detailer"
The steps that I used were
Pre Wash
Car Shampoo/ Oxidation Block
I tried many combination of pads but settled for Orange Pad and Black Pad, at times a yellow pad using swirl remover
Pre Wax
Wax with Polycharger
Wash
One more coat of wax with Polycharger
Tire Gel

I don't see any evidence of buffing in the before pics, at least not a rotary buffer...
Was there wax on the car at all? Looks like a lack of maintenance on the owner's part, not a bad detail job. Probably paid $30 thinking he was getting a polish included. Why do a lot of people with nice cars refuse to spend money maintaining them? "Look at my Escalade on 22s that hasn't been washed in a year, its dirty but its an Esssssscalade" :facepalm:
Good job on the detail bro she looks better than new!
