Turd polishing

[Seer]

Customer's car (yes he knows I am making this thread with the title and he laughed)

Car was horrible with swirls and oxidation. It lives outside 24/7 and parked on a city street so plenty of people walk by it and rub up against it.

Not the best pictures since I'm a crap photographer but it came out to be a full correction.

Optimum Opti-Seal
Ultima Tire and Trim Guard on tires and trim

Wheels:
Cleaned with Sonax Wheel Cleaner
Washed with Seer's home made wheel wash (very simple to make)

I've had my black pickup for a month and already wish I had picked another color. They are nice clean, but damn near imposible to keep that way.

polish it, then put a coating on it.

This time of year with wind and harvesting the dust is non-stop. Then you get a cloud drop a few sprinkles. Bleah!

yes but a product such as a coating that has hydrophobic and anti static properties will keep it clean longer, and reduce swirling/scratching.

Haha, looks good Seer. I just did a 2011 SS last week that was covered in swirls. It was the dark blue so the before and after were amazing.

Can you explain more on this:

True that on the color of money! I have seen the damage a dealer can do just taking a new car "out of the box", so I'm glad you caught my joke about only a year old.

Oh tried out Poli-Seal from your advice on another thread. Shined up my wife's ten year old Lexus really nice. Did a good job of correcting/polishing in one step, though I still need to top if off with something, right now it just has Opti Instant Detailer and Gloss Enhancer on top. Wish I had some Opti-Seal, but it costs 5 times as much as the OID and according to autogeek, the OID has more shine and gloss, and goes on top of the Opti-Seal which is more for more protection.

But nice job on Chebby.
