alright guys, i had some time after school today and the car needed a wash.. so i decided to give it what it wanted. It was my first time waxing the car, and i think it came out pretty good... I washed it using zymol auto bathe Clayed it using Meg's Clay Kit HD-Cleanse Zymol Titanium Wax ... it took like 4 hours :doh: , but im sure ill get better at it ---didnt get a chance to clean my moms car, ever since i started reading these forums, i took away here privilage to get the car washed at a drive-through:thumb: So i know its really dirty tell me what you think...
Vehicle looks great, 4hrs is quite reasonable, it sometimes takes me that long just for a simple wash
nice job. looks like youre off to a good start. did you use the two bucket method for your wash? if not, make sure to pick up yourself a second bucket and a pair of grit guards! oh and just curious, how did the clay look after you were finished with it? any contamination etc?
thanks i sorta used the two bucket method.. a bucket, and a bin ..haha i think im going to look for a grit guard and another bucket...but until then..this in fine. I also used a zymol sponge..and it worked really good And the clay was filthy( when i was done)..even when i was rubbing it on teh car..there was dirt present on the in the QD..almost like it lifted it out of the paint..
yeah do yourself a favor and pick up two five gallon buckets and a pair of grit guards. they're one of the most important aspects of detailing your car in order to minimize inducing swirls, defects, marring, etc. i was thinking you would say the clay was filthy. not surprising for a brand new car. those cars just sit on the lot and become quite contaminated in short periods of time. i would know, i detail at a bimmer dealership haha.
Nice job. That takes me up to 6 hours sometimes (without claying), but that's with ONR. Normal wash, I don't remember haha. I'll find out tomorrow though (First real wash in a long time ).
