First Time Detailing

[sojusoulja]

This was my first attempt at detailing. This is also the first black car i've owned but I think the results are pretty descent.
I used a Porter Cable 7424
3M polish for dark vehicles with Edge Orange Pad
Finished with Klass AIO with edge black pad.

Overall it was pretty easy. From wash to wax it only took about 2.5-3 hours.

Very nice work. Did you find the PC easy to use? How long did it take you?

 

[sojusoulja]

The PC got some getting used to. But after a few minutes it became easy to use. Your forearm gets a workout but its a lot easier than by trying to polish the car by hand.

black cars look the best after a fresh detail, but not so good the next day :frown:

Looks good. Black is definitely the most rewarding color to clean.

A few wipes with this and you're as good as new :wink:

How does it look in direct reflecting sunlight from 3 feet to 3 inches on macro mode? That's the real test. Otherwise it looks clean!

looking good... how do you get on your driveway without scrapping the bottom ?

Looks good! Why does the wheel well gap look huge?

Looks good! Why does the wheel well gap look huge?

Probably due to the angle of the driveway vs. the sidewalk causing the suspension to load unevenly.

NSX at its purest, such arcane thoughts come to mind. :smile:

How do you like AIO? I've been stubborn on my OP w/ white pads then topped with PB's sealant and then Meg#22.

 

[sojusoulja]

first time using AIO...been a Zaino fan.

I really like Klass given the ease and amount of things that the AIO accomplishes.

Looks great. The PC is a good set up for a do it yourself. I use DuraGloss spray on synthetic wax for in between detail so it will have that wet look and protection. Carnuba shines better but synthetic last longer IMO.
