Man that polishing looked absolutely miserable in the video. Have you considered using a PC for a job like this? Although, I'm not too sure that it would be *that* much better on the paint than the rotary.

BTW, I find the Meg's tire brush is much more ergonomic/confortable when you take the handle off and hold it by it's head when you scrub the tires. Just a suggestion.

Oh yeah, the car looks great.

So nice Nica, it's always amazing that when you see the before pictures and it looks good, to then see the afters and look twice as good!

Looks like you had your work cut out for you on this one.... glad you were finally able to show the CC who is boss and get it to acceptable levels...

do u think maybe adding some sort of oil, or like some clearkote glaze would of helped the polish from drying out as fast??? or maybe preping the pad with some sort of QD?

You said it sneek, nothing like a good challenge to test the detailing skills These vehicles are gorgeous, inside and out...I really like the front of this vehicle as it has wicked curves...kinda reminds me of a Porche...kinda

Oh there vehicles are fun to detail, challenging but remember what dosen't kill you only makes you stronger

Nica, where did you get woolies brush. cant find it in website

Glad you enjoyed the write up and videos...as for the wool brushes, these things are extremely rare, if you ever find them jump on them. I was fortunet enough to get my hands on two sets of these brushes and that was all I could order, they wouldn't let me order the dozen of each I wanted. Any who, due to a patent (like the Riccardo issue) these wool brushes can't be manufactured shame because these brushes work extremely well.

PC, no...there is no way I'm ever going back to the PC, the vibration is extremely bad and don't want nothing to do with a PC..dont' get me wrong it the tool that got me started but that only lasted for a month...I also have the Flex DA but even that I find vibrates too much for my taste. As for the Meg's tire brush, I personaly prefer it with the handle because I always hit my knucles on the floor and that's why I prefer the handle but it really is personal preference

Thank ou Deep Gloss, I had fun with this vehicle....but I'm fortunet to be able to take my time with these details as I honestly dont know how I would do it if I had a limited time. Respect to those that detail so fast

Um..not sure to be honest as for the glaze, well see (this is just my opinion) but by adding a glaze there is a chance of just filling the imperfections but like I said that's just me, I could be out to lunch on this so I stay away from products that have fillers. As for preping the pad with QD, I didn't use this method on this vehicle but I have used it in the past and I din't really like it. I know prime my pads with the polish and it has performed well...well till this vehicle came along that is

Thank you DLR very much appreciated my friend, as for the pictures. I drilled my co-worker prior to this detail and finally I was able to capture the difference I was making...still took me a bit of time and many pictures to capture the difference I was making but only a few turned out...but better some then none right

lol..I actually didn't use that much. I've been using Glasur for a bit as I like the glow it leave the vehicles with so this is a used container...but I'm sure I wasted a bit of it hahahahaha. I love applying it nice and thick Besides I have two more tubs of Glasur in my collection

[JLs Detailing]

Great job as usual Nica. I think Glasur is one of Zymol's most underrated waxes. I was blown away by how it performed when I used it. Man do these clients of yours know how much I like to see your interior details, LOL. They should consider my feelings when booking a detail with you, LOL!

Thank you JL ...as for Glasur oh yes, I agree. Glasur is one of those waxes that takes you by surprise, I enjoy using it...heck who am I kidding I enjoy using all waxes specially hand application ones As for the interior, oh I wish I could have detailed the interior as it wasent to my standart....ooh it still had the plastic covers on the GPS screen and on some of the wood trims panels too...but I have a feeling this vehicle will be back as I edumacated my fellow co-worker on how to properly care for his new pride and joy...ooh I can have fun in this interior too

Next vehicle I get when they request only an exterior I'll tell them that I have a friend that insists on me doing the interior I don't think they would mind lol.
