    From Pink to Red, restoring a lil` beauty in red

    Hello friends



    Bringing to you an enhancement on a pink ride, transformed to a beauty, to a lil` red ride.




    Letting the pics speak

    Before

    After a thorough wash.... familiar scene











    Tackling the bonded contaminants






    Inspection of defects... oxidated paint and swirled




    Pink panther show











    look carefully




    101 dalmatians and less



    Correction underway





    Cutting thru` the single stage paint, no clear coat




    becoming alive again





    Beauty restored





    Before






    After




    Severe oxidation





    Corrected





    More defects







    Corrected, with a deep reflective shine left







    OMG!




    All done with a little and a lot of pasion, patience and prayers




    Getting more of the 101 dalmatians, the reflection is the stone wall on the side




    the other side, pink panther`s nation




    Correction underway




    The hood




    a little better

    Refining further, jewelling with old skool, the good ol` M80

    ]A lttle more patience
    [/B]




    majestically yours












    with the glare







    The roof








    mirror mirror





    Hydrophobically yours too












    time to say goodbye with some lovely red shine














    Thanking Almighty for making another detailing adventure possible

    Your thoughts and comments are most welcome as always. Thanks for reading

    cheers

    I bet everyone thinks that beauty got a new paint job. Very good paint correction, paint looks brand new now.

    thanks for your encouraging words buddies

    actually it`s "a presale enhancement" gone "long term investment".
    my friend really liked the outcome

    many thanks again

    Truly amazing work! I would be so scared doing a single stage paint. Will you ever be able to use that red pad again? I would think the red will never come out. Such a dramatic difference you made!

    Your kind words are most welcome
    Actually the LC wool pad becomes clean again after washing but the white foam pad has gone pink but it`s ok to use for polishing
