Sonax Full Effect Wheel Cleaner on the wheels





Iron X Soap Gel used prior to claying


Drying the car down after the final rinse with the NEW Uber No Name Super Drying Towel....


We clayed the windows and the paint



Before debadge - dental floss and 3m adhesive remover were used to remove the emblem. Any hazing/marring was removed with polish


Debadged


Tires with Perls.



Paint Measurement


50/50
Here are a couple examples of what was all over the car, nothing crazy, but enough to annoy most customers that care about their cars.



After Polishing before Wax


Autoglym HD Wax


After Autoglym HD Wax - WOW

That has to be the smoothest paint I've seen from any of your threads, making the job you's guys do even more noticeable. Amazing job!
