Got a chance to work on a gorgeous machine with David (weekendwarrior). Davis had corrected this vehicle about 1 year prior, so the paint wasn't in bad shape. Goal was to chase down the RIDS and wash induced swirls. After the paint was corrected, Opti-Guard was applied to all exterior surfaces, including the wheels.



Enjoy the pix!



Gave the car a wash with DAWN.

The RIDS cleaned up well, except for the deeper ones.

very cool car to work on! Looks like a job well done. One thing-i noticed you were squatting in the photo with the Flex. That is putting IMMENSE stress on your lower back. Consider putting on knee pads, and dropping to one knee, keeping the other foot flat on the ground. This will keep your spine straight and prevent fatique.

Thanks for the tip!
 
Nice job! I've worked with David too (he came out to Dallas a few years ago) I really enjoyed his company and his detailing skills.
