Spring Buffing (2 vehicles)

2 of 3 vehicles clayed and buffed.

Clayed using Chemical Guys (CG) Clay pad (love this stuff) and ONR.
Lightly buffed using Flex VRG with LC Gray Pad, Menzerna Super Finish
Then Marilyn was topped with CG Blacklight
Then Tori was sealed with Blackfire Wet Diamond, then topped with CG 50/50

Enjoy.

Outstanding. I originally tried to pull this up on my phone and non of the pics showed.

Great examples of how blue and silver can/should look ladies and gentlemen.

Do either of those cars see rain/sprinklers? Just wondering as I'm detailing mine today, just getting ready to put on the second coat of sealant. We have hard water here, and I have to park where sprinklers get it a little wet. I'm hoping the sealant will keep the water from etching everything.

Yours do look fantastic. Can never get mine to look quite that good...

Marc, thanks sir! I was wondering if you got to see this thread yet or not!

But yes, another thing to point out for the novices out there, the heavy correction is only done once! Then you just maintain it. Then every spring I just do a very very light polish, essentially a finishing jeweling polish.

Joey, Tori is my dd... So she's been through 2 winters already, harsh ones too. They take their toll, but I manage. Sprinklers will etch. You'll need to use vinegar and then maybe even a light polish if the etching is really bad. We have hard water here too but I have my water softener tied into the outdoor faucets.
