This Buick Lucerne was a detail for a friend of a friend. I knew the paint was way contaminated, and wanted to try out the Valugard Decon Kit on it.

I knew the paint was rough to the touch with all that was imbedded in it, but I didn't expect what I saw when it was delivered to me.

This vehicle had tons of bird excriment on it, some light sap, and a little road tar as well.
The car received a decon and sealant and to clean the interior. No paint correction was done on this vehicle. That should hopefully be done in the spring.

This was the 1st time using the Valugard Decon Kit (parts A & B) and Autoglym products.

The products/process were as follows:

Wash:
Valugard Part A mixed with distilled water and applied with a sheepskin mitt.
Valugard Part B applied with a MF applicator.
Washed with Autoglym Bodywork Conditioning Shampoo and a Uber Sponge.
Thoroughly rinsed after each step.
No need for clay as this made the paint very clean and LSP ready.
Dried with Tropi-Care drying towel
Exterior Glass cleaned with SPrayway GC

Overall I was very happy with the results.

It was the first time using the decon kit, and I can happily say I was very impressed. I will defenitely keep this in my supplies for sure.

I was also pleased with the Autoglym products as well, especially the soap.

Thanks for taking the time to view this,
and hope you enjoyed it.
