Mike at G-Force's FRC Detailed
 
After seeing the work I had done on Adam's car, Mike wanted me to take a shot at his personal car. I gladly accepted :nod:

I have no full-body shots of the car prior to my detailing, but I do have a couple of the hood. This was what was ALL OVER THE CAR. It was EVERYWHERE! I still think it's leftover compound that was waxed over... Very ugly.

While the paint was NOT perfect after I was done. It sure had it's depth and a majority of the swirls removed. Thank you Mike for allowing me to work on your car and for the hospitality. Thanks also go out to the employees of G-Force who kept telling me how much they admired my work.

What he said lol.

My CTS-V is black and I want to order some pads/polish/wax to get rid of the swirls. I had to wash it at a carwash with................ the brush.......... a few times in Florida and it got a little jacked. I had to use the brush, which I washed out thoroughly, because the hotel sprinklers went off on it douching it with what looked like nasty salt water. Did it two times before I realized where that shit was coming from and parked somewhere else lol.

What kind of pads/polish/wax would you recommend? I've got a Porter Cable and plenty of free time. :)

Oops. I totally did not see this post. My apologies.

I have had lots of success with various Menzerna and Tropicare compounds/polishes. I use CCS pads (Yellow, Orange, Green, and Blue) coupled to my PC 7424.

Be prepared to spend that free time :nod: It goes quickly when you get into the polishing.

Cheers,
Michael

good work, if youre going to be doing some real serious detailing id invest in a rotory... then you can get those swirls out a lot faster than with a PC.

Looks good tho......cough cough i have an 849 sitting here at the house if you need one. Also FWIW i find that those CCS pads are crap compared to the older version of the CMA regular 6" pads. the newer pads are too thich and are harder to get in tight places.

ex-SS-ve Feb 2, 2009 08:20 PM

really good work Mike. looks like i need to buy a new rotary as my old b&d is starting to give up on me. 6][9 whats your price on this one w/pads and cutting compounds?
