Client acquired this car used. Client spent the day on a new track most of it raining. Exterior was quite dirty and during the wash I realized that the paint was quite contaminated. After drying paint showed scratches and marring from automated car washing. Steps are as follows.

Wash

Clay of whole vehicle including jambs, under spoiler etc.

Wash

PC via orange pad with Poorboy`s SSR1

PC via finishing pad with Poorboy`s Polish

Poorboy`s EX-P Sealant by hand

Here are some pics, it`s hard to see the scratches and contaminants such as rail dust on the yellow paint. Contaminants can be seen well in the hood shot. Before pics only taken after first wash. Before pics car doesn`t have tint, after pics car has been tinted.

Nice work. It`s hard for me to get yellow looking wet like that, and you did a great job with it. Good lookin` car too.

Hm... The befores and afters of the hood look equally perfect... It must be pretty well maintained

Maybe a closer up lighting would show the defects before. The hood looks very sharp and stunning. Something about the headlights just makes it look so... good.

For the wheels, you may want to put some tire dressing on there. That will definitely highlight the car very nicely.

I love that yellow color, really makes the car stand out. GREAT JOB!

BTW, welcome to autopia

Looks nice

I would *love* to have a shop like that!!

The second hood pic closeup shows the contaminants. They were there but weren`t major maybe 20min to clay the whole hood. I usually dress the tires on client vehicles. In this case it was raining outside so i opted not to put any on.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

I`m not going to lie to you, I really don`t see much change. That isn`t to say that you didn`t do a great job, it`s that it looked nearly perfect to start with

Looks Beautiful! BTW, the best way to show defects with lighting is using the 500-1000 watt halogen light stand, hand held led lights, or using the camera flash. That spoiler looks fun to detail! lol

Love the car, but the pics don`t really show much difference before and after. Exhaust pipes need polish.

**admac** · 10-22-2006, 08:10 PM

yeah. that before pic looks pretty good too. haha. in any case, nice work. i`m sure it looks and feels better.

**01bluecls** · 10-22-2006, 08:11 PM

lol D@mn, some of you are pretty harsh. (JK)

**lemans23** · 10-22-2006, 08:11 PM

Those tires are begging for some dressing too

**hambone575** · 10-22-2006, 08:39 PM

tint (brand) %? looks so sweeeeett

I have used tire dressing for years but I personally don`t like it. I never put dressing on my own tires. I think if the tires are clean and they are low profile there is no need for dressing unless it is a show situation. Every car in a show situation no matter what kind of tires it has needs dressing.
