Welcome everyone. My name is Mike and i work as a driver and detailing is my passion and my side job. I've been detailing cars for family and friends for couple of years and now i'm starting to turn my passion into my profession. I've heard a lot of good things about gloss-it products and i saw a lot of great details done using them. I hope to learn some new techniques here and meet new friends with passion for cars and detailing.

Actually i have a detail scheduled for next weekend. It's old mercedez convertible and the paint finish is very neglected. Lot of rds, swirls, oxidation, and some damage on the hood from bird drops. Car is green and i think it's 98. Interior needs a good cleaning to. What would be your recommendation for full correction, if want to use gloss-it products??

Sounds like she needs some serious attention. Okay answer the following questions for me to recommend some products.

1. Polisher being used for correction? Rotary, PC or cyclo?
2. Single stage paint or base coat / clear?

I would start out with the following if your going after full correction.

Polishes:
Extreme cut
Evolution cut
Evolution polish
One Step Machine Polish
EVP Pad Prime

Pads:
Grey wool
Heavy cut orange foam
Fast cut white foam
Green polishing foam
Blue finishing foam

LSP:

This will provide more then enough product for both cars! Remember with gloss-it a little goes a far way. Buzz me when you receive your product and also post pic on the forum so we can all see the progress before and after.
