2014 veloster one step correction

This '14 hyundai veloster that came to me was one of your classic dealer hologram specials. It was full of rids, water spots/etching, marring, buffer trails etc... I have to say I wasn't a Hyundai fan until I got to work on this one. Hyundai's build quality has grown leaps and bounds over the last few years.

For the cleanup I used cg cwg along with bf apc, and sonax wheel cleaner.

For Decontamination I used a brand new. (I.e a few months old). just opened medium grade cg clay bar. JK! IT WaS DRIED OUT! :mad: So I used my backup clay from mothers. It worked very well, and is also much much older than the new cg bar. What the heck! Well that was my little rant, and now I feel better.

I didn't have any other issues with any products afterwords. Because I was going with the wonderful combo we all know, and love. WET iCE OVER FIRE! (And if you haven't tried it. Try it! you'll love it!)

Upon inspecting the naked paint, and understanding my clients needs. I found that using bf src polish with white lc ccs pads were going to be the ticket. This one step process was awesome at removing all of the defects other than the deeper rids. I love the amount of cut this polish gives, and how it finishes (just like menz 4500). Another great feature is that if you are going to use one of bf's lsp's there is no need to IPA the panel before applying.

After polishing this black beauty I then proceeded to utilize the power of wet ice over fire. Two coats of sealant followed by one coat of wax. The finished product was your classic black mirror on wheels.
The interior was just a basic wipe down with innerclean, and the windshield also received its own special treatment of water repelling goodness in the form of gtechniq g4, and g5.
Now onto the pictures! I have to apologize for the crappy photography as it is not my best suit, and on top of that I was pressed for time. I was also a numpty and didn't take any pics of the full vehicle before, or after. The after pics of the full vehicle had been taken by the owner the next day, so ignore the dust please. Unfortunately Where we live it's almost impossible to keep a dirt free car.

The owner was very excited with the final product. It's always a great feeling to have your work be truly appreciated.

As always thank you for viewing.
 
Awesome job Klock! Thanks for taking the time to stop while working to record your results.
 
Thank you.



Thank you. It is a shame for that to happen. But it is hugely gratifying to be able to correct them. Plus it's fun, and relaxing at the same time :rockon


Relaxing..sometimes not so much! Especially when working on black paint. Haha. Those are some great results you got in one step! Thanks for sharing. :bigups
