well... after practicing on my dad`s corolla, i think i have a pretty good feel for my new PC and the LC pads that I bought last month. I`m at the end of spring break and this is the last weekend I think i`m ever going to find time to do a full detail on my car. Here`s some quick info on the paint:
-1996 superblack (8 yr old paint)
-the front driverside door was repainted last year when my neighbor backed into it so it is almost in perfect condition
-the entire front side of the car (front fenders, hood, bumper) is covered with tiny chipmarks from 160k miles of driving.
-the hood is in the worst condition... heavy swirls, chips, and now spiderwebbing.
- I did attempt klasse last year by hand but only good results were the side doors/panels
I just washed the car... it was high noon so there`s some waterspots on the car... hopefully the claybarring tonite will remove those.
Okay, here are some pics of what the car looks like right now... the BEFORE shots:
heavy swirls / chipmarks on hood:
spiderwebbing / swirls
overall hood condition... swirls !
side angle... hope to get more clarity/depth:
With that said/shown...
I am hoping to hit the car w/:
clay bar -> 1Z Ultra Polish -> 1Z Paint Polish -> Klasse AIO -> then what?
I could go klasse SG, Zaino, or 1Z express polish. btw, is there a cure time for klasse AIO? I am leaning more towards Klasse SG but I heard it was too much effort lol. I probably will go for SG though... I`m going to do the detail tonight when I get back from work. Hopefully I will spend alot of time tomorrow too detailing it and finally finish up sunday morning or something. Hopefully it won`t be that long.
Any advice/tips would be much appreciated! thanks
