Your Detailing Results - Picture Thread


Recommended Posts

Took some pics the other day with the phone after a polish, came up pretty well.

Washed, clay bar using a Bowden's Kit, and poslished with a Mother's Wax Attack kit I bought last year, using Mother's Cleaner Wax.

Does any other sealant need to go on over the cleaner wax? It says that its the only step required, and it has left a nice layer of wax on it.

Looking to try some differant waxes in the near future, as this was done in a bit of a rush after work one night

Did this on Saturday, the pics are MMS'd so a bit crappy in res. The paint was finished with Naviwax, after clay and one pass of polish. Didn't go crazy due to lack of time and just finished as we ran out of daylight

Claybar using mild nano wash solution for lubrication.

Bowdens paint cleanse and restore

Meguiars tech wax 2.0 applied with DA polisher

Finally got around to removing the nasty yellow haze of the daily 35's headlights. No befores (just imagine all 35's that live outside 24/7) but fairly simple process:

1. Wet sand with 1500 grit paper

2. Polished with Meguiars Ultimate Compound and medium cut pad

3. Sealed with a Dupli-Color UV Resistant Clear Coat, otherwise they will just go back to being yellow in a few weeks

Had the guys from schmicko do it at my house, really nice end result. A bit pricey, but definitely cheaper than the in store detailing centres. If only I took a before photo! Oh and they also applied ceramic coating yeaaaaah!

It was $790, which is actually a good price now that I think about it, especially when dealerships charge $1-$2k for something like this and they use half-ass products. Oh and I paid about $300 for the exterior detail prior to this, so paint correction, machine buffed, clay barred and all that. Doesn't look as good here because of my poor quality camera, looks so much better in real life, not sure where else they do, but i think the ycover mainly most of Sydney, can go here mobile car detailing . I did think about doing this myself or asking a mate/car enthusiast, but just wanted the extra peace of mind; but hey no complaints haha
