Big "A" Detailing Blk Boosted Civic Si Removing Heavy Water Stains + Ronnie C.

i was lucky to find these hard water stains all over the car from the customers house sprinklers. they werent mentioned to me until my eyes saw them. i do not like surprises at all but oh well.

she had a full respray about a year ago in a mercedes black. no pearl or flake, straight up black. the clear was a bit on the soft side. the hood & trunk were the worst areas so they were done under the halogens.

top of trunk.

i was low on Meguiars M105 Compound & M205 Polish so now was the time to give my HD products a try!

i started with the hood for my test spot & first 50/50 shot.

after HD Polish i wasnt happy with the finish it left. the color was a bit cloudy & would need another polishing step to bring the black back to its full potential. i thought, if i needed Menzerna SF4500 to clean that up, maybe i can get away with a 2 step on the rest of the car? i dont see why not so thats exactly what i did.
i applied 2 coats of HD Poxy sealant to finish off my hard work & she came out great!

Thanks for looking!

Hot damn!!!! What are the products used?

Very klean n nice

Very Very Clean. Love it.

Awesome write up Big A, and I told you I had water spots! Memory's slackin :giggle:

As you guys can tell, he did a purely amazing job and is a very stand up guy. I will indefinitely refer anyone I know to him. A good detailer is ridiculously hard to come by, and I'm very happy to have met with Big A. Aside from doing an amazing job, he made room in his schedule to make this all work out. And even told me to pick the car up from him at 5:45am the day of Honda Day so I would have the best chance at missing the rain - and it worked! I didn't get into the show because tickets were sold out 30 mins after gates opened, but it worked out in the end. My car got a lot of recognition and people were very interested in the car, the detail, and the forum.

Again, phenomenal job Big A, hope you'll be doing work on another BoostedK20 soon!!

so shinny! Black is a bitch to keep perfect....

:yeahthat: Great job Big A, looks great! You're lucky to have found such a good detailer man

Came out absolutely amazing! It's difficult to find detailers nearly as good as you are, and I hope all your customers appreciate your work and understand how lucky they are!

wow thats amazing! we need detailers like that around here. I bet hed do an amazing job on our black ridgeline haha

spring bump. dan is comming in soon. mb time to top his ride with a coating to help fight off the nasty sprinkler water by his house? hmmm..
