Totally do it! Plan a little trip to montreal for 24-48 hours, you will like it haha! However, 2 other ontarians asked me, I might just end-up sleeping at a Motel in Toronto for 2-3 days and do all the request I had.

i dont have a machine but i see some at cdn tire every so often on sale for like 30 bucks the wax i have right now is the turtle wax ice liquid polish and i just use the tire foam the way i wash it is just at a coin wash but i hand wash it no brush for me and i have a microfiber cloth

[cobrAA]

i wanna get like the swirls out and a nice wet shine what do you have for sale that would be good i dont need to go nuts on products since i dont have tons of free cash right now

have a machine? if so, let me know your model so I can ''built'' you a kit.

But you will need a clay bar, clay lube, quality car soap, a great drying towel, then a mid polish to remove some swirls and scratches created by the clay bar. then you can hit it with a good glaze to fill the swirls and add tons of wetness to the paint and make it slicker. Finally, if your on a budget, you would love DP max wax for added protection and wet-shine.

Need wheel care?

Mazda 3 detailed.

After doing her interior this past spring, I decided to be nice again and do the best I could in one day.

Correction 3 step.

Defelsko Positest DFT Combo Paint meter
2 bucket wash method
Intensive polishing | orange pad CCS
Polishing | Pad blanc Sonus
Jeweling Menzerna | pad blue CCS
2 coat of DP Max-Wax
Plastic Polish
Glass Polish
Aquapel treatment
303 protectant sur rubber


Here's only a small panel. I don't think this car was clayed before.



Paint is so ''slim'' I won't be able to correct it like I would but I will try jeweling the paint instead to give better wetness so people would not spot the swirl.


Before: take a look at how fade the mirror and tires are.


After shot:







Before: Because of the sun, it was pretty hard to capture the swirls and overall condition of the paint.


But still, you can clearly see a difference after!



AFTER-SHOT: nice wetness.




















Miss expecting my work haha

[cobrAA]

Last year, I did a 1-step on this car and this year we decide to do the same to keep it in is ''almost brand new'' condition. It's cheap and correct all the mistake done by bad washing technique or winter brush.

Polishing on white pad
Autoglym protectant
Wheel scealant
Wax limited edition Natty's Red ( make metallic pop!)

Vulcain's GTR!

http://forums.gtrcanada.com/media/43009-vulcains-gtr-detailed-cobraa.html

[cobrAA]

This detail was done in such a rush, I was asked to do it in less than 48 hours because the car was going to a car show in NY and had to be detailed before the show. Knowing the paint was new not long ago, it still had some buffing marks that needed to be corrected and then the last step was a glave in order to achieve a wetter look for the look. No times for before/in between pictures. Sorry.


Detail:

Polishing | White pad
Malco Glaze | Blue finessing pad
WG Fuzion wax
Wheel sealant + metal polish for wheels.
Anti-static protectant for trim and rubber.



Samething for the amps ( polishing,glaze,wax)

Lancer Ralliart Protection detail.

This is the same detail I did on the Tucson 1 week ago. However, it was so hot outside, I got sick while doing the car, I was sweeting way too much and end up asking the owner to come back in a week to finish the job. So I felt bad for the owner to come back a second times so I did an extra step by glazing the car with a white pad and coat it with premium Wolfgang Fuzion wax.





Nice wheels!





Nice reflection for a white paint.



Reflection and wet-look.






Last one!
