First check out the wheels and tires


Not much to see on the paint since it was so dusty, can't tell until the wash. But we got some good bird droppings here and there

Start off with our Engine and Wheel Cleaner

You can see the brake dust already start running off of the wheel

Hit it with ACE TurboStick to get to the inside of the wheel


All CLEAN!



Off with the wash with pressure washer

We always pressure wash the wheels again after washing it

Get ready for our SUPER concentrated Detail Addict Car Soap!




Dual bucket with our Detail Addict Grit Guard is the key to a good wash

ALWAYS do bumpers last

Time to rinse off without pressure washer

This car has NO WAX

Blowing out all the water in the little gaps here and there



Just front part of the hood with our Detail Addict Medium Grade Clay Bar


Again, bumpers last!



This is why you NEVER scrape the bird dropping off!

And never leave it on the car for long

The hood need a bit more work, so we started with our Detail Addict G-1500 Polish. First prime the pad with our Detail Addict Detail Spray

Then prime the pad with the G-1500 Polish


Work on a small section at a time


After that, we have the finish it down with our Detail Addict G-2500 Polish to remove any possible hologram from the previous correction


Here is a cool trick combo we do for our Bronze package, Detail Addict G-3500 + Detail Addict Carnauba Wax + Detail Addict Liquid Wax

No need to prime the pad with Detail Spray, but do Prime with G-3500 and Carnauba Wax


Once again, small section at a time, but don't need to buff off between sections




While the wax is setting in, we work on interior. It's pretty new, but you never know how faded your leather is until you clean and condition it!

50/50





User our Detail Addict Glass Cleaner for a streak free finish. No alcohol and no ammonia

Clean with regular MF and finish with our Detail Addict Glass Towel


Our Detail Addict Rub & Shine is a water based product that doesn't sling onto the side of your car and give you a nice matted finish




All done!
