| Pretty sure I mentioned to a few of you that I'm getting back in to detailing and might even posted pics of my daughters Compass and Tammy Cherokee as my test mules. Their cars werent that bad as I'm the one that takes care of them. So I was putting a aftermarket bumper and some retro fit lights on my buddy Eddie's Wrangler 2 weeks ago. I noticed how trashed his paint was, on top of that his Wrangler is black which made it all the more enticing. Figured this is the test of tests imo to gauge how good or bad my skills are. Well I got probably 80% of the scratches out and 95% of the swirls. Did it all with a Harbor Freight 6" DA polisher and a Griots 3" DA polisher. On my Harbor Freight polisher I have upgraded the backing plate and I use really good pads, not the shit pads from Harbor Freight. Started Friday night washing it and cleaning his motor that has 56,000 miles on it and had never been cleaned. Also clayed it, taped it off, pulled the mirrors and wiper arms off and a few other things to try and make it easier to work on. So I spent about 4 hours on it friday night doing all that shit, and then spent 9 hours polishing it yesterday. First pass was with a pretty aggressive cutting pad and cutting compound, 2nd pass was with a polishing pad and a fine polishing compound, 3rd pass was a sealant. That was my last freebie and test mule, because I'm now confident I can charge for my services and guarantee results! | |
