This car kicked my a** over the last two days, six hours to JUST wash,clay and clean the HRE wheels which had not been cleaned in over THREE years.
Originally I was to have three days to work on the car,but the owner was sending the car to his dad and the transport company screwed everything up for me by arriving a day early, anyway 19.5 hours later.......
WASH:CG CW&G
CLAY: GI purple coarse clay using GI ph nuetral soap as lube(slickness)
WHEELS: GI new wheel gel(saved my but, HRE polished lips so no strong cleaner on these)
TIRES: P&S natural tire dressing
CORRECTION: MEGS 105 w/ GI evp pad prime GI white fast cutting foam pad GI extreme cut w/ GI yellow polishing pad and evp
POLISH: GI evolution polish w/ GI blue polishing pad
FINISH POLISH:MEGS 205 w/ SM arnold 5" finish pad
LSP: GI signature sealant followed by concorso applied w/Flex DA
The start of a very long day
Could the wheels be any worse?
This had been on the paint for who knows how long? needed 2500 grit sanding
No machine swirls, but fallout that ruined a new coarse clay bar!!
Getting to it, long road ahead
The wheels had black mesh centers, major pita to correct
On the home stretch today, final jewelling
Finish is almost there
