Authentic Merino wool wash-mitt FTW, only the best for my clients

https://www.civicforumz.com/attachme...ine=1334147155

Using a deironizing gel, to remove the iron particles stuck on Justin’s car. Remember this statement I’ll bring it up again

I use a sponge to ------ it around, before that though. I use a box cutter to grit lines into it. So that dirt particles that may still be present can sucked into their instead of rubbing onto the paint. Detailing on the cheap 101

Deironized
https://www.civicforumz.com/attachme...ine=1334147155

Here I sprayed some tar remover, I mean industrial strength tar remover. So I wear a respiratory mask for safety.

https://www.civicforumz.com/attachme...ine=1334147155

After that I use clay and clay lube to do a final decontamination on the car for what ever is left.

https://www.civicforumz.com/attachme...ine=1334147155

You just have to gently glide it over the surface, GENTLY!

Trying to play doctor doctor (taking paint measurements of the car, you know how MUCH paint a Mazda has right)

Polishing prep finally!

https://www.civicforumz.com/attachme...ine=1334147155

https://www.civicforumz.com/attachme...ine=1334147155

https://www.civicforumz.com/attachme...ine=1334147155

Justin takes care of his car, so it was in good condition which means it’s very hard to take the pictures of defects.

https://www.civicforumz.com/attachme...ine=1334147155

Also it was impossible to get a 50:50 shot, here are a few attempts though.

https://www.civicforumz.com/attachme...ine=1334147155

This is the polish side, the right side

https://www.civicforumz.com/attachme...ine=1334147155

https://www.civicforumz.com/attachme...ine=1334147155

https://www.civicforumz.com/attachme...ine=1334147155

Un-polished side, do you guys notice the difference.

https://www.civicforumz.com/attachme...ine=1334147155

Here’s the polished side again

https://www.civicforumz.com/attachme...ine=1334147155

Ohh wait, here’s a good one.

https://www.civicforumz.com/attachme...ine=1334147155

Here’s the side of the hood, yes only a Mazda can we have a “side” of the hood. Damn sharp corners

https://www.civicforumz.com/attachme...ine=1334147155

The eyebrows, because the smiley face wasn’t enough

https://www.civicforumz.com/attachme...ine=1334147155

https://www.civicforumz.com/attachme...ine=1334147155

I took a break polishing, Loose Cannon wanted to rinse his car. Pfff Rinse, we detail here Bay Bee

Do you guys remember, the deironizing gel, well go back up if you don’t.

I asked Loose Cannon if I could use his car as a demo to show you guys what I was talking about

https://www.civicforumz.com/attachme...ine=1334147175

https://www.civicforumz.com/attachme...ine=1334147175

You, guys see those golden rust spots right. Watch this!

https://www.civicforumz.com/attachme...ine=1334147175

The deironizing gel is getting to work and reacting with those iron particles to fully remove them.

The hood was done, finally. N00bmeister testing the reflection

https://www.civicforumz.com/attachme...ine=1334147175

I think he said it passed

https://www.civicforumz.com/attachme...ine=1334147175

https://www.civicforumz.com/attachme...ine=1334147175

Meanwhile, Justin was talking pictures of the hood because he thought the reflection was crazy cool

https://www.civicforumz.com/attachme...ine=1334147175

https://www.civicforumz.com/attachme...ine=1334147175

I came back the next day to find some wax in s crevice under his wing mirror
https://www.civicforumz.com/attachme...ine=1334147175
That had to go, so I safely removed it a tooth pick wrapped in a MF

Left side polished

https://www.civicforumz.com/attachme...ine=1334147175

https://www.civicforumz.com/attachme...ine=1334147175



Here I’m inspecting my work by wiping away the polish residue

https://www.civicforumz.com/attachme...ine=1334147175

Weird thing here is I didn’t know I had a bald spot
