Paint Correction:



I was contacted through the forum to help improve the overall quality of this gorgeous machine required. Apparently, a local shop here somehow let the car sit outside during a summer monsoon, and resulting in deep etched water spots all over the car. This shop now had to fix an wanted mistake of theirs and their plan of action was to wet sand various sections of the car to remove these. Unfortunately I don’t possess the super expensive paint guage to correctly measure the depth I would be working with. So my plan of action was to use the least aggressive method I could, to better improve the quality of the paint without burning through the paint.



The combination that worked best for me was a white lake country pad with SIP with rpms of 1300 to 1500 and then following up with 106FF on a white pad to remove any hazing or marring SIP would leave behind. I also had to use a minimum of three IPA wipe downs before I declared the exterior fit for my LSPs. This drastically improved the finish and really shows that wet sanding is not always the answer. I’ll the photos do the talking, hope you enjoy!

Interior:



The interior was in beautiful shape and required the carpets and mats to be extracted and exterior surfaces to be treated with 303 to help protect the finish from our harsh environment. I also performed a Leatherique cleaning and conditioning for the leather seats.
