Well the pictures don`t show it too much but this thing was pretty beat up in certain spots. Forest Green BMW Z3.
Before some splatter.
These water spots were pretty deeply etched all over the car. It lives outside.
Nasty Wheels.
So onto the process I started off with some 106ff and a LCC Orange pad on the rotary at 1500 rpms.
This didn`t really touch it so I started with the LCC Yellow pad and tried something interesting I put some Optimum Hyper Compound on the pad then some 3m Perfect-it 3000 rubbing compound on top of that on the pad. This helped with the 3m`s heavy dusting and cut very nicely as well. This took out 90% of the defects alot of deep scratches on the hood the owner didn`t car about wet sanding so I left some of those.
After that I used Orange LCC and 106ff to finish the surface off nicely for some Werkstatt Acrylic.
Did the interior and let the sealant cure for a good hour or so ( I don`t believe in the 24h curing thing for all sealants)
Then applied some Zymol Carbon by hand on top just to add that depth and extra gloss/wetness.
Here are the results.
