This one my friend came to me to knock down some oxidization and wanted just an exterior detail. The paint is quite faded and pink in some areas but its not a single stage so i did all i could. I think its a huge change. Hes picking it up soon so hopefully he agrees. This one was a quick one step detail.

Process:
Citrus/APC wash
Clay
Chemical Guys V36
Orange Hex Logic pad
Flex 3401
Glaze/Wax pad
Black Light
CG Natural Shine for trim/tires
Sonax Polynetshied for wheels
V32 on headlights with 4" pads sealed with netshield

i just use what i like and whats cheaper. This was a discounted detail because it was exterior only so i used what i could do and get the results the fastest and provide a nice outcome with protection for the summer.

Both brands have their positives and negatives, but i like CG over AP 90% of the time because its the same shit and 1/3 the price.
 
lol great job... now its shiny pink :rofl: but there is nothing you can do about that

how much do you charge for like a truck for a full paint correction ?
