The Taj Mahal 1 Series gift shattered and restored by KC

[kc's]

I have been head hunted by my old client to help him to get his new car corrected.....
he couldnt sleep upon taking back the car home for his beloved wife as an anniversary gift

I was blessed to be given this opportunity to witnes and correct this car......take a view




oppsssss....


why birds poo is so acidic to our clear coat?
It`s important that you remove a bird dropping off your car`s finish as fast as you can ... Birds pass their urine into a common chamber used for digestive and urinary wastes. ... So, when a bird lets go with a "bomb" it contains white uric acid crystals ... This type of etching can be removed using a clear coat safe ...
stone chips



swirls.....minor on the hood



UFO landed on the side panel...marring the paint and causing a deep stains...



more RIDs have been found


deep scuffels



Begin with wash - Optimum car shampoo, assisted by OPC
Clay with ONR as lube
Compound Meguairs M101 with Meguairs cutting Foam pad
finish with polish M205 with Meguairs polish foam pads
IPA
Opti coat - body & plastic panel
Opti glass for windscreen
Opti Lense for head lamp

when you shine your Halogen lamp ontoyour paints you will always see what beyond yourbare naked eyes can see

light is themost vital tools of correction beside your rotary/DA/Correction tools

finally I managed to scooped up some pictures i had in the other camera

i had this ride for almost 36 hours to get her corrected

always begin from wheels
