R.A.D Detailed (oneshare325) 03' CLK 430

oneshare325 · 05-30-2008, 08:32 PM

Since these are (some) my first posted pictures on a forum. R.A.D Stands for Richard's Auto Detailing

The customer only had about 40k on the odometer, but the car was the victim of Automatic car washes and the owner admitted of once waxing the car without washing it first.

The car was not really all that bad, the swirls were there, but the color did a GREAT job of hiding them for some reason..

The owner only wanted a 1 step polish, so the results were surprisingly good for just one pass with 106FF and an orange pad.

ONR Pre spray
Steamed
Jetseal 109

Wheels
CG CWG+Meg's Hyperwash (foam)
CG Citrus wheel cleaner
Meg's Wheel Brightener

Body

Not as long as you would think...5 to 8 mins Max..(It stays on the horizontal surfaces for a bit longer)

J-Sud · 05-31-2008, 01:37 PM
