This sporty baby is around 1 year plus old and it has accumulated quite a bit of swirls on it. Beside this, there seems to have some stains (could be overspray) on the body too. Below are 2 pics showing the swirls and the stains I am referring to and the photos were taken after the wash and clay (looks like even the clay could not remove the stain)

The defect removing process,

1) PG + cutting pad + DA @ speed 5

2) IP + light cutting pad + DA @ speed 5

3) FP + polishing pad + DA @ speed 4



After

The finishing steps,

1) Prime + finishing pad + DA @ speed 3 (set in for 30 mins)

2) Acrylic Jett 1 coat by hand



And I am proud to present this fierce and sporty RX8,

Nice, looks like it should be on a track somewhere. One thing though, polish those exhaust tips!

Beautiful car and outstanding work on the paint! :drool:



I`m finding that if you want super clear paint and insane wetness, Menzerna and the Werkstatt twins are the way to go.

Excellent work! How long did it take and what camera do you use?
