My First Car Polish :)
Hey guys,
So today we got lucky and it hit about 13c So I took this opportunity to take what I have learned over the past month or so since I bought my first polisher, learned it all from this forum. So here are some pictures of 2 panels I did on my dads van with terrible paint. I have yet to buy better wax & may try the HD line of products so I just used what I had at home for now.
1991 GMC Safari. It was painted maybe around 10-12 years ago however it was not a very good job and sicne then it was not taken care of, no wax or anything. Maybe a wash here and there with dish soap
Products used in this order:
Griot's Garage 6" Polisher
Sonax Car Wash 2 in 1 (Just washed the panels I touched)
Riccardo Yellow Clay Bar
Sonax EX 04-06 (Orange Pad)
Chemical Guys Black Light Hybrid Radiant Finish (Black Pad)
Sonax Hybrid Liquid Wax (Black Pad)
SONAX Brilliant Shine Detailer
Here are the pictures, big difference for such bad paint. I plan to do the rest of the van in the spring once the temps are warmer since this week its going to drop down to around -13c at night and we are supposed to get snow. So this is a good chance for me to see how this stuff will hold up over the next month or two.
p.s. & yes I did it on purpose so my dad will be driving with only 2 areas of the van thats polished haha
