Default A CR-V I Did

It is my bosses CR-V i did. It was pretty rough i gotta say. Lots of scratches and swirls in it from improper washing and such. I used Megs 85 with a purple wool pad followed with megs. #2 and an orange than poorboys black hole and than Pinnacle XMT wax and this was the result.


SWIRLS!!!



Wheels before




After



after clay bar



All taped up and ready to buff



more swirls

scratches


You can faintly see the scratches from improper washing here


the roof


and now after. As you can see, its perfect.






now i didnt take more cuz the camera battery died but dont worry, ill have plenty more coming up. Got a few more cars to do

Tape it better and dress the plastics and your set.

Well you can and should get them off in the pretreatment and wash stages of the car. Dressing them is like a zit/crater faced girl putting makeup on. She looks good when shes out but eventually it comes off and the true ugliness shows. Why not just get it clean the first time around?
