Phil's Secret Wax... (I have 2 actually, one that is about 25-29% Carnauba content in paste form (which you can apply with an applicator) and the other about 41-49% Carnauba content (this one is similar to the Zymol Vintage which you have to apply with the warmth of your hands. Its just to hard to handle with an applicator pad)

Firehose Nozzle

Procedure:
1. Rinsed down the wheels (they were cool)
2. Sprayed down the wheels with some P21S Wheel Cleaner
3. Brush and cleaned the wheels with a Boar's Hair Brush
4. Rinsed down the wheels
5. Clayed the wheels (just the face/center, not a full wheel detail)
5. Rinsed down the car
6. Filled the buckets up with Adam's Car Wash
7. A great trick I use is to squeeze some Adam's car wash on the Shmitt giving it more suds as you clean. Going from top to bottom I typically go clean the roof then go to the bucket and rinse the Shmitt hitting the grit guard to make sure its clean for the next section (repeat this till the car is done) do this more frequently as you get to the bottom of the car and the back of the trunk/rear bumper.
8. Rinse car off throughly
9. Since there was no sun out and it was cool, I sprayed Adam's Detail Spray on the panels and proceeded to clay the car (Adam's Clay Bar) after each panel and each window was clayed I used the WW Drying Towel to wipe the excess detail spray off.
10. Car is clayed and dried.
11. Got out the Metabo with the green/orange pad and Menzerna IP
12. With a MF Towel I buffed off the Menzerna IP
13. Finished up polishing the car with Menzerna 85RD.
14. With a MF Towel I buffed off the Menzerna 85RD
16. Applied the Phil's secret wax to each panel and used a MF Towel with some 1Z Detail spray to wipe the excess off to a super wet/deep/shine....
17. Cleaned up the windows with Adam's Glass Cleaner (interior/exterior)
18. Dressed the tires with Adam's VRT (did one pass on the applicator and did a pass using the dry side as the customer prefers a matte finish)
19. Used 1Z Detail Spray to do a final wipe down on the wheels.
20. Used the 1Z Detail Spray for a final wipe down on the car.
21. Wiped down the door jambs with 1Z Detail Spray
22. Adam's Metal Polish 2 on the tips

Thanks again Tony for the garage!

 

Wow! The paint looks so much better.

 

Amazing results, how does Adam's polishes compare with other top brands like Zaino?

 

depends on what you really want out of the product, its a great to maintain your car with after a big job like this one. A coat of Buttery Wax etc.

As for the items I used above I use them pretty much on all the details. The VRT is great and finishes off matte with no slinging, the Adam's Car wash creates alot of suds, the Adam's Glass cleaner, and pretty much the whole line is great, but for paint correction I would sway to Menzerna.

E-mail me if you want more info.

 

Oh man i need a full detail like this, i try and keep it in tip top condition but as you mentioned, when you drive a car hard it cant stay clean forever

 

Phil's work is truly amazing, you guy's have to see it to understand how he brought this paint back to perfection. Sergio could not believe how his car looked when he picked it up from my house.

 

Damn Tony, too bad you are pretty far from me, would love for this guy Phil to detail my car!!

 

Thanks Tony I'm glad he loved the job.

illM3 where in LI are you I have a guy that's great on the island or maybe if it's not too far I can get over there. I'm about 15 minutes from the GWB.

Let me know.

 

came out great! car looks amazing.. very clean

 

Martin, you are welcome to use my garage and one of my car's to go kill time while Phil detail's your car. Just say the word man.

 

Like I said on all the other forums you are one great guy Tony! If the world had more people like you it would be a better place to live!

 

Thanks Phil, I really appreciate that.

 

Tony I cannot even express how nice of a person you are to give me, somewhat of a stranger an offer like that, unreal and I appreciate it! BUT it is just a little far and I have to get clear bra first according to Phil, but thankyou so much once again
