Paint correction
Bigdave_185:
This weeks correction was a Maserati of some type.
It had some really rough paint beyond what I have seen in a long time plus some major iron deposits (common term rail dust) and in general scratches and swirls from auto washes.
Simple Meguires iron remover
To remove the iron
Simply wet vehicle and spray on, watch it work it’s magic. I usually use a wash mit to apply some agitation. Then when it’s working the product turns purple!
Then the standard adams single step as the customer isn’t going to stop running it through auto washes and it’s not worth doin inch beyond that. He will be extra pleased with it. Iv learned to judge your client. If they are as picky as me then detail accordingly, if they just want a basic detail with some class added then do so. Many folks will pay for more and many will never recognize what you put into it and won’t pay for it. KNOW YOUR CUSTOMERS!!
So after that I rewashed and hand dried all the nooks and crannies, fixed a loose license plate and called it china!

Maserati quattroporte
Interesting they have a v6 now. When they first came out they only had the Ferrari V8 and they sounded amazing
Not sure what color interior that one has but in about 2013 when I looked they had a rich coffee colored leather that was amazing looking.

Dave,
Happy that you are sharing your process.
So the rail dust/iron remover is key then before starting?
What would be the (Negative?) effect of just buffing a car which had not been pretreated to the iron remover
I ask because the guy who detailed my Suburban said it was really loaded up with iron.

What color was the wife’s new suv?
If you look close at a light color car you will almost certainly find a portion of speckles that look like red dust/rust spots. Think glitter size.
It’s not a requirement and Iv never used the product in any car I own. Bet this car was in really rough shape
I’ll send you a video tomorrow. Via text

Dave, is ceramic coating a good investment, or is it modern-day snake oil? Would you recommend one brand over the other? We just picked up a new black yukon and plan on keeping for many years.
