    My first detail on the new lift! :)

    This car was recently purchased used by a good friend of mine. It was in pretty good shape overall but he wanted to get it looking like new again and well protected for the harsh MN weather.

    Process:

    Wash - Foamed with OPC/CGCW followed by 2BM wash and CGCW
    Wheels - P21S Gel and various brushes
    Tires - OPC, dressed with Hyper Dressing 3:1
    Clay - Blackfire Clay and M34 as lube
    Initial correction step - D300/M105 mix on the GG6 with Megs MF cutting pads
    Finishing Step - Optimum Hyper polish on crimson LC pads
    Protection - Optimum Opti-Guard


    Before pics

    Hard to capture good shots with the metallic but you can still see the difference after D300

    Beautiful job! Those flakes sure do pop there!

    Any other information on that lift? Looks very nice and a good solution for me.

    Thanks!

    Fantastic work. That lift is awesome. Do you keep it there, or do you move it out of the way?

    Thank you. I will move the lift back against the wall when I'm not working right now but once I have my ramp set up built I will likely keep it where it is. It's easy enough to pull around but can be difficult to push...unless you're the size of Bob Willis that is. :nod:
