Detailed my EVO, full process, and pics.

My evo had some light swirls that XMT 360 could not get out. I have been using Menzerna 106ff on a bunch of cars recently. And, I figured I had enough practice to use it on my ride. I dont have any pics of the swirls since it was very cloudy on sat. But, oh well, the 106 did its job as usual. The only snag was using poorboys PP after using 106. I had to go back to the reliable pinn paint cleanse. I slept over am my GF's house the night before. One of the heads on the sprinklers came off and poured gallons of nasty water all over my car!!! I had water spots all over the car the next morning. After I washed the car I noticed that they had already damaged my clear coat. I couldnt get all of the marring out. I am sure that another round in 6 months will do it. I didnt dress the wheels or tires in the pics, too busy not enough time.

Hey EVOM This first posted on Autogeek.net. So, sorry about all the product mumbojumbo.

Process


Wash - Poorboys SSS, w/ microfiber mitt
Clay - DP, w/ ONR clay lube
Polish - Menzerna 106, w/ 5.5in white pad
Pre- wax cleaner - Poorboys PPP, w/ white pad by hand
Clean up mess from PPP - Pinnacle painwork cleanser, w/ white pad by hand
Trim - black again
Seal - Wolfgang, w/ blue pad by hand
QD - FK 425
Glass - stoners invisible glass spray bottle
Lights - plexus


Afters only.

All of those white pads are diffrent. I only use the PC for polishing, not applying pre-wax cleaners or sealant.
