Greetings everyone
I had the pleasure of detailing this SLK230 that was covered in swirls and random scratches.
It was a fun project that I did in about 12 hours using a PC as I don`t have a rotary backing plate that will fit my pads at the moment, but no worries
Here are some pics of after it was washed. There were buffer trails all over the car from the dealer the owner purchased the car from.
Process:
Pretreat with citrus degreaser
Wash using 2 bucket method + sheepskin mitt with Meg`s GC
Rims cleaned with EO wheel cleaner
Tires cleaned with Purple Power APC 8:1
Clay car and rims
Wash again
Dry with MF WW towel
Then the car was brought into the garage to get it ready for paint correction. I settled on OC and mixed it with OP (with orange pad) as I didn`t need THAT much cut. It was mixed at about 70/30 respectively. The car was followed up with PO106ff (white pad) and my goodness did it ever make a huge difference! It was my first time using it, and I had a gumming problem but quickly realized that you don`t need very much product. I ended up not applying any more to my pad to finish the rest of the car (except for a few pea sized drops) and it came out fantastic! Everything was done via PC.
This car was covered in RIDS and I tried my best to reduce the visibility of them without wetsanding. I made sometimes 3 or 4 passes to get them down but did not want to reduce the clearcoat thickness too much.
