2011 Edge Spring time clean up
« on: April 12, 2015, 01:22:49 PM »
It was time for a bit of a clean up on the Edge.

This was from last weekend, took some time to get up pics!

Outside was the usual 2 bucket wash, followed up by DoDo Juice Ferrous material remover. Then a follow up re-wash and rinse.

The Edge is used everyday now, so I wasn't going for 100% correction. I wanted to clean up some overall light marring and get some protection back on it.

After a quick clay (the process is way faster after the Dodo Juice), I settled on Poor Boys Pro Polish 2 on a white LCC pad on the Rupes Bigfoot.
Overall, it came out nice, roughly 85-90% corrected. Still some RIDS, but the color hides them pretty well.

Finished it off with a coat of Menzerna Power Lock.

We also did the interior, but I didn't take any pics. It was just a vacuum, scrub of the weathertechs and MF wipedown followed by HD @4:1. Glass was cleaned with a glass MF and Perfect Glass.

Here are some pics

Lots of contaminates in the paint

Wow, that is sexy paint.  Nice work.

I am surprised at all the contamination.    I may need to check this stuff out.


Thanks for visiting the Cafe, come back often.  There's always something new!
