Ben. Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Oh, question. I often accidentally hit window sill trim as well as other places on my car that leaves nasty white swirls and won't come off. Any recommendations on what kind of product I should use to remove it? Water/Carwash solution/Elbow grease have failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compuvision02 Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Well Lina, in the domestic world, that style wheel is actually very popular. The big one is Torque Thrust II's. Ask any V8 domestic owner if they know what TTII's are and 10:1 they will know. Sick ass job man! Sucks that it will be back to the way it was in due time. It obviously got that way quickly, won't be long until it is back again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 I HAD Torque Thrust II's on my car.. They were one of the few things taken. bastard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It obviously got that way quickly, won't be long until it is back again. Yea, but that car is beautiful now. If that customer has a few bucks to spend he will be back for more on a regular basis. Taking someone elses f-ed up work where they dropped the ball and then correcting it for customer lightning quick creates lifetime customers.

Pyrorocketeer Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Orange Peely ass Ford paint. I hated the truck. um... what orange peel.... ^^ the only one where there is even a hint of peel ^^ EDIT: plus hung said it was repainted...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 The name of taking picture of a black vehicle's game is angles. Notice he didn't go head on with a lot of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted June 10, 2007 Author Share Posted June 10, 2007 First off I went head on with a couple sun pictures to show the lack of swirls. Second this car was almost completely orange peel free. The passenger side door was the worst as it was the only part not repainted. It took me about 10 hours, 8 hours of that was in the polishing and waxing. I personally love the wheels that are on the car. I love the shaker hood that the owner did too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS John Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 That is some nice detailing. What place did he go to for his body work that it took them three months and messed it up that bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90IntegraC1 Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 looks good mang...what pads did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted June 10, 2007 Author Share Posted June 10, 2007 I used Propel pads. I tried the mroe aggressive orange pad, but it marred the finish as much as it removed stuff. Super soft clear on this one. I ended up using the Propel Green Polishing pad and working down with a final polishing with a final finishing pad to keep from marring the paint. They are 7" pads which is a little big. Next time I order some pads I'll probably get 6" pads so I can get correction a little faster/easier.

I hated the initial de-swirling. f*cking de-swirler residue forming everywhere. He needs to get rid of those lame ass louvers on the rear glass.

CleanGSR Posted June 10, 2007 Author Share Posted June 10, 2007 Normally a job like this, I would charge 220. Since his interior was really clean, I charged him $200. He ended up paying me $225. It was kind of a father's day gift/birthday gift from his wife and 2 daughters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compuvision02 Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Not to bring up an old arguement, but that is the exact reason why dealerships and "real" detailing shops short cut quite a bit. You said that took you 8 to 10 hours and it had a decent interior. I've seen cars come in just as bad to our dealership, but with a matching interior. If they took 8 to 10 hours to do it, there would be little to no profit when all is said and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
