He told me I could drive it and even asked me what I thought of it when he picked it up. Sadly, I didn`t drive it though.
It did, however, become a bit of a garage dwelling obsession.
So on with it...
Took almost half a day to figure out how to tame this paint. Then the next day I got a bright idea at work and started over on parts of the car after a test spot.
for the most part: and of course skipping the wash/decon/clay details
Polish Angel invincible primer (as cut and finish- two step polish with an entire 50ml bottle) (tried many other combos but nothing got me where I wanted in two steps as well as this did)
Polish Angel cosmic v2 (3 coats)
Polish Angel cosmic spritz (2 coats, 1 to accelerate curing and one to add strength)
Polish Angel high gloss (2 coats, one for reflection one for ridiculousness sake)
Polish Angel supersport (wheel faces and calipers-with a q-tip)
Polish Angel diver (glass)
Poorboy`s bold n` bright on trim and tires/wells
Poorboy`s spray and wipe
Poorboy`s dmt, dmmt, umt towels (lots of them)
a few red bulls, dr peppers and a couple nights of takeout
and one paid day off to work extra on the car because it sounded more fun than the day job
Rupes Lhr 21 mkII
Rupes duetto
Rupes Mini
Rupes Nano ibird
these polishing pads used varying from 1 to 7 inches to get anywhere they could reach plus a few more I found in a container from this job
urofibers were washed once previously and used twice each
34 total hours invested over four whole days (I may have gone a little overboard-perks of being the boss I guess)
ran 10.79 on first time at track the night before delivery
dirty wheels
phone just wasnt capturing the defects properly but it had some really deep rids in there for a new car
id say i got 90-93% or so, urofiber pads worked well for me with invincible primer as a cut
this is before cosmic, primer adds some serious gloss
cosmic v2 applied
cosmic v2 removed
2nd and 3rd coat applied 2-3 hours apart then spritz as directed and then I went ham on the car - haha (and yes I let them cure)
