Poorboys Rules!
Some of you may remember I just spent a whole day detailing my Mariner about 3 months ago and after I was done, was very unhappy with my results. So...I finally found a day to 'redo' it and WOW! I'm so glad I took more time and really worked it over. This baby looks like glass now...absolutely beautiful (in my opinion)!!!
For those who care, I'll walk you through the steps...otherwise, skip on down to the pics.
First up, I washed her down with 'Dawn' dish soap to remove all wax and any other grease and contaminants. Next, I claybarred just the top as the car was in perfect shape from the last detail. Then re-washed her to remove any clay residue. Then came the good stuff...I polished her with my PC7424 and Poorboy's SSR2 over the entire body using halogen lights to be sure I wasn't missing any spots or leaving behind any swirls. Then, I went over the whole truck with Poorboy's 'Black Hole' which is absolutely amazing in really bringing out the gloss and shine. For those of you who haven't tried it...I'd highly suggest it! Then the entire truck got a coat of Natty's blue paste wax. I'll be adding another couple coats over the coming week as I get some time. The tires were dressed with Poorboy's Bold n Brite, windows with Stoners and the interior got the once-over with my RIDGID WD4070 wet/dry vac.
The end results, I feel are absolutely stunning. A really deep, wet glossy look. Way too much work, but worth it in the end. Never again will I buy a 'black' vehicle as this one has really challenged me and my skills to keep her spotless and forced me to become addicted to detailing!
So, on with the pics...hope you all enjoy...
And if money were no object and I had another car I could drive, I'd love to 'bag' her so she looked like this...
Oh...it's fun to dream.
And if anyone is curious she rolls on 20 x 8.5" VCT Castellanos wrapped up in 255/45-20" Toyo Proxes 4's.
