Since we are on lockdown I’ve been tidying up the house and my old computers and hard drives. came across some photos of my first detail in 2007.
my trusty old DA the original porter cable that ran at 110v which was a pain. 3 stage Sonus polishes and some good old fashion poor boys wax along with some other stuff like clay bars etc.
The stuff
state of car at the start. Was like this all over. Bad judgement of using local cars washes back then.
decontamination
Mask
stage 1 polish
stage 2
stage 3 (I think)
after 2.5 days of polishing a quick coat of wax and tyres dressed.
Glad a lot of products have came a long way since. Some of the 1 stage polishes/compounds that’s breaks down to finer polishes/glazes are really good and saves so much time. Also taking better care of my cars now so not really necessary to machine polish cars.
need to find a new DA next. My porter cable has went missing after leaving in my mates garage.
