First detail of the year - 1/1/5

[Thomas Dekany]

Exterior only. Awhile ago she ran into another car and the bumper/hood got damaged. The shop buffed the whole car and introduced tons of swirls and holograms, but the paint job looked to be top notch.

[bunker]

Beautiful transformation. Nice work.

I`m not familiar with Edge pads.

[GoodnClean]

Nice work!



Thats a pretty good quality repaint on the hood...

[imported_Axe]

:xyxthumbs thats a real nice job

[Scottwax]

Excellent! Looks like #80 really cleaned up that hood. It is a shape some body shops can lay down a great paint job and then mess it up with the wetsand, cut and buff.



Looks like you`ve found a very wet and reflective combination to use. What kind of durability are you getting with the Amino UV Sealant?

[Hemi57]

tdekany, very inspirational. As Scottwax said, it is pretty typical that painters can give a great finish which is then set back by the body shop cleaner and, I use the term very loosely, "detailers".



Glad to see that you brought it back to life.

[tripper_11]

just another #80 miracle transformation...I believe so it`s still the prep that matters no matter what LSP...
