Prep for upcoming sale, car was in terrific shape for a 05 but needed some TLC.
Initial condition.
A year and a half after knee surgery I am finally almost 100% and can squat down again well.
Time to strip the previous LSP.
Half the hood stripped down good.
The defects were very hard to capture on this finish, but there were enough RIDS to require levelling.
Switched from the radar sized Edge wool to a American Buffing 5.5 wool pad to get the leading edge.
Gloss & clarity coming back.
Good finish on this car, only a few factory sand scratch clusters.
Corrected.
Working the rear bumper.
Loving the Griots machine, also like my G110V2 for sanding though.
Had to upgrade the caps, the hurting plastic caps had to go..............
This is a much better look.
50/50 of the trim rubber cleaned.
Entire seal cleaned and dressed for a nice matte finish.
