    A rare detail for me

    The LSP is not Opti Coat. First one in a very long time. Customer`s concern was the driver`s side. I went to look at the car before taking the job, because he said you can definitely feel the scratches. Upon inspection, I was pretty sure that I couldn`t get those out. I promised to do the best I can.

    Interior was done first, followed by cleaning the wheels and finally a citrus degreaser wash. The car was pulled inside, clayed, dried, and I started on the left front fender.



    Followed by the front door, rear door and rear fender.





    Overall, about 7-10 microns were removed. It turned out better than I thought it would, but it isn`t perfect.

    Process:

    Interior: vacuum, 3D Citrus degreaser, steam, HD Protect, Eraser on windows

    Exterior:

    HD ADAPT, HD BLACK WOOL pad 2500 rpm (left side)

    HD ADAPT orange foam
    HD POLISH blue foam
    HD POXY black foam
    PEARL on tires

    Finished at 11:00 pm

    That there car sure is glossy. How difficult (or not) was the paint to work with?

    Thank you all, should have seen how nice the interior turned out!

    The paint is very good to work with. I didn`t even want to take the job, those scratches were very deep, you could fit your nails in them. I was very happy with the outcome Todd, even though it wasn`t completely removed.
