Raven wash/polish/wax
 
75 here in Oregon today so I dropped 50$ and 4 hours ok hand detailing my car.
First 86 raven black. Delivered may 8 th

Wash, dry, clay bar, polish, wax, vaccum, tire shine ect. I use a different sham wow on each pannel, 2 bucket system and I wash/wax door jams, trunk and engine bay where applicable. Got to put in work to keep a black car nice. But it's worth it!

Pre wash spray,

Not too bad for doing it all by hand. Never clay bared before and damn! It's amazing how much surface stuff it take off that u can't see till you look at the clay bar!

That's just the light btw not a scratch on my hood.

Looking good!! - yes, it's amazing how much crap is in the paint that you can't even see. I clay quickly several times a year - it lifts the crap right through (or out of) the wax, makes a big difference especially with dark colors.

I did the same last weekend, took about 5 hours. Well worth it.

Holy cow! How much soap do you fill your foam res with?! You're getting way more foam than me, even when I'm on the E setting! Maybe I need to cut down my water a little...

FRSfan111 07-12-2013 09:38 PM

That pic was with the b setting lol I'm just using the soap it came with. Citrus gloss something lol

FRSfan111 07-12-2013 09:39 PM

An I use maybe 1/4-1/2 an inch of soap each wash. Not much at all..
