Silver 2004 Sonata: AIO/UPP

[White95Max]

wash

clay bottom half of doors (car was already clayed last year)

AIO by PC with green Propel pad on 5

UPP by hand

VM on glass

303 Wiper Conditioner on blades

WG gel on tires





Unfortunately there wasn't much light when I finished, but I'll get some better pics when I add another layer of UPP later this week.

Look at that shiny white car above the Sonata! I wonder what the owner uses on it...

wow! that is a truly shiny silver.

Great job. How many layers are you planning to do?

 

[White95Max]

I'll probably do 2 layers and then top with Paste Glaz x2.

One glowing silver there. Very nice work.

Excellent work Paul! Even in low light the silver has a great pop to it.

 

[LOTA OT]

Great work



I just used UPP over AIO for the first time on my silverstone (dark silver/gray metallic) passat and was definitely a winning combo. So easy to use too.

Nice job Paul! The silver really does have the flake reflecting. As for that white car... hmm... I'd say Nu Finish or maybe the old Turtle Wax Zipwax!



:shocked

Hopefully the paint will look better with each additional layer of UPP and Paste Glaz. Of course the owner is very happy already, but I always want the cars to look their absolute best.

Very reflective!

Today we added another coat of UPP. I also removed the wax stains on the splash guards for him. 303 Cleaner wouldn't do it, Meg's APC diluted 10:1 wouldn't do it, so I just pulled out the PB's Trim Restorer and it did the job well! :up



BTW the wheels got RainX Ultra Wax, because my neighbor wants to use it up.



And now for the pics...

Next week sometime, we'll add a coat of Paste Glaz.

Looks Great!!!! My wife has an 02 Sonata and we love it. What's your secret for getting into the little fins on the grillwork on the front end? I've tried several methods, the latest being swabs with tiefelphleger and working it into them. It's always a pain in the neck to get into.

 

[White95Max]

For grilles like that, I just use a MF applicator and 303. You can usually get all the way in between the fins. Then I use a MF towel to buff off. In cases where the fins are to close together to get my finger in there to buff it off, I use a cotton swab inside an MF. I've also used a tongue depresser inside an MF with some success.

That is one beautiful silver paint!

 

[White95Max]

OK the Paste Glaz is on...

For some reason the windows look tinted in this pic...looks good! :up
