911Fanatic vs Ford Edge
 
A while ago a friend called me and asked if I would be interested in testing a new product beta(tester) from Duragloss called Enviroshield. I agreed and after one kit was lost in the mail and 4 months of below zero temps we finally got our chance. My friend Chad brought out his wife's new Ford Edge. After our winter did it ever need it.

All jambs and engine cleaned with AG Powermax3
Engine was sprayed down with AG Vinyl and Rubber Care and left to dry
Truck was foamed with AG Powermax3 and rinsed
Washed with PB Super Slick'n Suds
Inner fenders cleaned with AG Powermax3
Tires and wheels cleaned with AG Custom Wheel Cleaner
Clayed with BH reg Clay
Polished with Gloss-it pad/polish combo and LC CCS/Menz combo
LSP was Duragloss Enviroshield
Wheels sealed with Enviroshield as well
Tires dressed with Gloss-it Tire Dressing
All trim dressed with Gloss-it TRV dressing
Exhaust tips sealed with Blackfire All Metal Sealant
Leather conditioned with Duragloss Leather Conditioner

Total time - 13 hours over two days

The pillars were polished with Menz Power Finish and 85RD and Autoglym Vinyl & Rubber Care was used on the motor. And I have both in stock. Lucky you!

so how much would something like this cost? i might not need this level of cleaning in the interior, but im mostly interested in gettin rid of swirl marks, and is there anyway to fix clear coat damage from bird shit?

911fanatic 05-23-2009 05:48 AM

It all depends on how badly swirled the car is. Not so much how mucch swirling there is, but how deep. The deeper the swirls, the more polishing steps, the more money it costs. This truck only had to be gone over once to achieve over 90% correction which the owner was happy with. Came out to around $395 for the exterior portion of the job.
