Cayenne, Volvo, Camaro

[LX1]

Here are just a couple of details I did last week. Sorry there was no sun out in most of the pics so the halogens is all I have.



Porsche Cayenne



Process



Wash=Megs Gold

Tires/Fenderwells=Megs All Wheel Cleaner/Black Magic

Clay=Meguires Clay Bar

Correction=M105 with LC Orange, M205 with LC White 5.5" via PC

Megs QD







Ill skip the washing/clay bar pictures and start with the swirls

Rear Passenger tested with M105 and a LC Orange Pad. Wasn’t enough so I had to make multiple passes. (My rotary took a crap and I have to buy a new one)

Front Passenger door about 85% corrected. Still some moderate scratches(not pictured). But the goal was swirl removal only.

Some 50/50 shots of the drivers door. Had to make 5 passes with M105 to get the scratches down a little. Since this door was the worst I spent some extra time on it so it wouldn’t stand out.

A Volvo for a friends dad.



This one needed some lovin. Took the better part of almost 7 hours. Paint was in horrible shape. Scratching everywhere. And most of the scratching was down to the paint. The hood had also been worked on before and the clear was so thin I was not willing to compound on it at all, so it got a polish and that was it.



And I will apologize in advance, I don`t have any shots in the sun to show my work. I tend to forget to put together a photo shoot plan before detailing so most of the time these are just random shots.





The Beginning

Getting washed (Wheels and fender wells already done)

Just the top of the trunk

Just the door(Yep this is a dirty car)

Ready to get worked on.

Some of the scratching. Here are 2 shots Before and after with just compounding.

After shot. It is rotated 90 degrees for some reason. (notice the scratching is gone but the pad left some marring. Polishing was necessary to take car of that)

And the finished shots. Notice the trim is still discolored. The trim was so dry it absorbed the dressing I used. I had to go back with Armorall to darkin it up a bit.

This is a 95 Z28. 6-Speed. Day 1, due to time constraints, the owner needing to go to work, and my shipment of product not showing up, this will be finished tomorrow.



Car needed some swirl removal but will probably hit these pages again this winter to get wet-sanded for orange peel removal.

Putting the owner to work (Don`t plan on coming over and hanging out on my couch) Ill gladly teach some detailing tips.

Close up of the hood. Notice the difference from the Porsche/Marauder roof shots in my other Click and Brag posts. That`s orange peel. Not too noticeable from 3-4 feet away but up close it really blurs the reflection. The car had also not been washed yet so don`t mind the compound dust.

Wow so many black cars! I would have gone insaneee! Nice work!



Isn’t the volvo paint a joy to work with? It corrects and finishes down sooo easy.

To be honest, I hated it lol.



I don`t know if you were being sarcastic or not. But this car definitely tested me a little. Maybe it was because there were so many deep scratches, I was afraid the owner would be able to see them more easily.



Plus, even though I charged for a swirl removal I took the extra time to make it as perfect as I could because I know I will get good referrals from this person. And he is doing the marketing materials for me when my car wash gets the go ahead from the alderman. Chicago aldermen are not fun to deal with.

for the trim on the volvo, i have had really good results with a dye called "showroom new" it costs like $10 for 4oz, but its really worth picking up and using on black trim. It made a world of difference on my car.
