My Mitsu-SUV-green-kitchen-sponge-scratch detail got delayed until next weekend, so I did a black IS300 this weekend. It just plain sucked. :(
Yes, there is NO clearcoat. My yellow pad turned grey and I freaked out, "crap, I`m rubbing dirt into the paint". Put on a brand new white pad and it turned black.....ahhhhh, it`s just the stupid paint. Regardless, the condition of the exterior was total crap. Windshield had something baked onto it. The hood was and still is a mess. I don`t think any amount of washing (and definitely not claying) would have done any good.
I took some pics, but they don`t show how crappy of a job I did. Only had ~3 hrs to do a wash, interior clean & conditioning, polish and wax. Plus I was moving the car every so often to avoid the sun. My MW was baking onto the paint whenever I accidentally hit a hot spot, doh.
This is my first "arrrrggggh" detail ever out of 13-15 cars. Any advice? I want to clean up this customer`s hood pronto. btw, are there supposed to be white flakes in the paint for the black IS300s?
