RSX Exterior

I have been working on 16 BBS wheels from a race team recently and was contacted for work on an RSX... Me and the fiance went Saturday to inspect the car and we discussed the job, exterior paint correction only, I got it dropped off today. I called my buddy whom I have been "training" to use a PC to follow me after I use the rotary.

The car had swirls all over and lots of rids...I Soaked the car with the gilmore foam gun and let it sit... I like toys













I dried it with some WW MF's and pulled it in the clay. Standard Dirty clay shot...And I am still working on my picture taking, I have been using no flash and a flash shot to try to capture swirls and what not...I am learning slowly













Taped it all up and did a 50/50 on the roof to see what sort of correction I could get esp with the time I had. I have to work on my pics I know

Re: RSX Exterior

Here is my little helper, following me on the DA...I went around with SIP on a wool pad, he followed with 203 on a white pad, I finished up with 106 on a white....After we were done polishing we brought it back out to wash off any dust. I followed up by Opti-seal and then Optimum car wax.





Here are the finals...Any trim was dressed with Opt Prtoection plus...

Nah, the customer only wanted the paint corrected, he didn't even want the wheels cleaned...
