So I completed my first ever full on exterior detail I've ever done. I'm pretty much a perfect example of an exterior detailing newb. And I seriouslly mean newb, like wash my cars with dish soap, stack shit on top of my cars, never seen a claybar in my life. That all changed a month ago, thanks to Aaron's detail day with Randy and Dan of Northstar Detail. So I picked up some new stuff from then, and this week decided to give it a go. Here's basically what I did.
1) NoRinse wash with MF wash mitts, and dried with MF towel.
2) Zaino Clay Bar using NoRinse as lube.
3) NoRinse wash and dry again.
4) Using Griots buffer and Orange pad, applied Meguiars M105 to entire car.
5) Wiped off with MF towel.
6) Spray/wipe car down with 50/50 water and isopropyl alchol mix and MF towel.
7) Using Griots buffer and White pad, applied Meguiars M205 to entire car.
8) Wiped off with MF towel.
9) Spray/wipe car down with 50/50 water and isopropyl alchol mix and MF towel.
10) Applied light coat of Zaino Z5 sealer using MF applicator.
11) Wiped off with MF towel.
12) Final wipe down using Zaino Z6 detail spray and MF towel.
Here's some pics of the results. Pretty much the best looking job I've ever done. Don't think Teh Bean has ever looked this good since I've owned it. It took me about 3 days, 2hrs per day, so 6hrs total. I learned a lot doing it, so I think next time I could probably do a better job, and do it faster. Key take away, if my newb ass can do it, anyone can do it!
Note: in the 2nd pic, that big white chip in the middle of my hood, that's not actually a chip, that's the mufukin reflection of the moon!!!
