first time w/the pc 56k beware

boosteddsm · 02-05-05, 04:59

Used my pc for the first time today on my 13 y.o. Talon. Car has never seen more than a cleaner wax and had significant swirls. Started w/a wash, clay, wash. Then went to 80 w/a Propel yellow. Then AIO w/Propel Blue. Then topped it w/S100. No SG because this car literally doesn't see rain or many sun rays for that matter. What a difference. 80 worked great, but a few areas coulda used 83, but didn't have any and looked good enough for me. I have to say, AIO is fantastic, couldn't believe how easy it was to take off!

Before wash:

After washing, claying, washing:

After 80:

After AIO, S100

Sorry for the massive pics!

MANY thanks to Patrick (ExcelDetail) for the great products and advice!

Yikes!!! From reading your thread title, "first time w/the pc 56k beware" I thought you were a new user of a PC and had done $56,000 worth of damage to a custom airbrushed paint job.

Glad everything went ok, looks great!

That intercooler is peeerrrtty. I'm hoping to go twin Ts on my 2001 eclipse V6 in the near future. Great first go with the PC. It's safeproof and delievers great results. Wait till you get more experience. Your car will look more hot!

Awesome ... what a transformation, you must be pleased with how it turned out?

Also, many thanks for taking time to post pic's of you detail at every stage, from wash, to swirl city, to final LSP! I enjoyed looking at every pic you posted.
