I got to know him, through one of my public detailing session & he contacted me to him detail her.



Upon meeting up & viewing the car at night, without much street light....only with my little torch light, i discover patches of paint ..on the front engine hood. almost covered 1/3 of the right hood, only found out after his 1st wash & without realizing during the delivery time, he already complaint to the car sales man (of this defects) & he actually drove this to Megs detailing centre (they even did some wet sanding to demo to the owner) but not complete restore

what happen was ...the hood was repainted that quaterly & the car sales claims that it was some overspray......OVER SPRAY WHAT????? some paint flew from the car besides???? make no sense



so last sunday, he came over to my place & since another forumer called me ( i invited him along & gave both some private detailing lesson)

http://lh5.ggpht.com/_RsduO4BD4FA/TA7wFiDElfI/AAAAAAAAIl0/RMLmC83wG9M/s800/P1070089.JPG





Before wash – look carefully on the scratches, lines & stains



http://lh5.ggpht.com/_RsduO4BD4FA/TA7wGSkVy2I/AAAAAAAAIl4/jfXsxmPtQ5I/s800/P1070092.JPG



Agitate with Optimum power clean 50/50 % comparison area , as u can see the upper hood is sprayed and showing cleaner than the bottom hood

http://lh4.ggpht.com/_RsduO4BD4FA/TA7wHP2hBlI/AAAAAAAAIl8/38yzlWlenkA/s800/P1070094.JPG

Agitating with Power clean - most fine scratches & stain disappear but……………….not completely gone lesser effects



Although- most fine scratches & stain disappear but……………….

After wash look good but it resurfaces again

Remember the paint defects, 1/3 of the hood was resprayed before & the car salesman denied, where another detailing centre wet sanded on it….to my amazement, I discover that defect areas has stains & scratches too….

Simple test, use a damp cloth & wipe over, if it leave a film of stains & has no clarity…it will definite stains your vision while particularly driving in the rain & at night. Taping off all windows rubber seals & plastic trims …

Took some pics before & after

Truly it has been another great detailing day out for us , we had many questions asked & answered. Discovered many things along the way especially….the can of worns never expected to find on a brand new imported car – the single stage paint



Everyone was so intense & panic upon discovery, angry & yet peaceful



Marking over fellowship & detailing ship a meaningful ones



Thanks for viewing

[AlexRuiz]

Wow, wow, simply wow!

You did an amazing job, nice ride and what a shame on condition.



How long dig it take to get done?

[Scottwax]

Excellent job fixing the paint! :)



So sad that stuff like that is so common on new cars. I just detailed a black Cadillac for a law firm (owner was having it done for a key employee) that had water spots and rotary swirls on the tailgate and A pillar and over spray on the right rear C pillar. Caddy still has the dealer tags on it. :wall
