Detail Addict: SLK350 Silver Addict Package

SLK350 Silver Addict Package!

Detail Addict Silver Addict Package + Trunk Spot Polish

Customer bought the car recently and wanted to get it cleaned up. There were many severe swirls and scratches. Good thing our G-2500 can correct majority of it! G-2500 is a paint cleaner that removes light swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation while leaving a high-gloss finish.

There were many water spots that came from sprinklers and rain. Bay Area's water has heavy minerals that could stain your vehicles paint. It's best to immediately wash the car or touch-up the areas that are affected.

Product Used:

- Detail Addict Car Soap
- Detail Addict Carnauba Wax
- Detail Addict G-3500 Polish
- Detail Addict G-2500 Polish
- Detail Addict G-1500 Polish
- Detail Addict Medium Grade Clay Bar
- Detail Addict Detail Spray
- Detail Addict Engine + Wheel Cleaner
- Detail Addict Glass Cleaner
- Detail Addict Rub & Shine
- Detail Addict Sealant Wax
Tools Used:

- Detail Addict Backing Plate

- Camspray Foamer Attachment
- Gilmour Foamaster II (If DO NOT have pressure washer.)
- Detail Addict Grit Guard Bucket Insert
- Detail Addict Water Softening System
- Gilmour Zinc Fireman's Power Flow Nozzle
- Porter Cable 7424XP
- Detail Addict Applicator Grip Dressing
- Detail Addict Microfiber Auto Wash Mitt
- Detail Addict Glass Towel
- Detail Addict Microfiber Polishing Towel

Before:

You can see the amount of swirls, scratches, and water spots this car has!





















Here's a 50/50 shot of just one pass with our G-2500 with our Tangerine Hydro Foam Pad! Look at how much it cleans up! The paint was soft so it allowed the G-2500 to correct more of the imperfections.


After:

Here's what it looked like after the Silver Addict Package!




We did a spot polish on the truck. The swirls and scratches were more severe on the trunk than the rest of the car. We used our G-1500 with our Cyan Foam Pad then used our G-2500 with our Tangerine Foam Pad. You can see that there are still scratches left, but overall the look of it is amazing!














Hope you enjoyed this write-up! Let me know if you guys have any questions! Thanks!
