Ok I gave you guy's a teaser a few days ago, here is the full write up. This vehical belongs to a good customer of mine. He uses it to haul the toys to the lake, so it doesn't get that much use but as you can see the Scuff-n-Buff hasn't let me down!! RIDS, Holograms and poor sanding done by the factory! This customer lets me do what ever I want to the vehicals! He hands me the keys and says" make it look new like you usually do!" Cool customer , car guy with a fleet of imports and exotics I've had the pleasure of touching over the past 7 years! Anyway I never post any of my as you can tell by my picture taking abilities!! So I thought I've learned allot over the years lurking around these sites sometimes asking/answering questions I would give it a try. So here we go!
This is how it was delivered:
Stereo guys did this
Custom interior
Paint
Proceeded to wash with mixture of CGCW/OPC in the foam gun and P21s wheel gel and TAW on arches and suspension.
Down here in Texas the temperature are above 100 so Leatherique is going to work good! So put on the first of 3 coats.
After washing this is what I got
So after some trial and error I settled on Flex 3401 and PFW with 105. Followed that up with rotary and Tangerine with 205. 105 pulled out most of the defects but with heavy dusting. More dusting than usual. Tried different combo's but settled on 205 and rotary for speed of remaining defects. Rotary by the way is also Flex (3403) as my makita is down for the count! I like this combination but it does leave some holograms. I went over again with rotary and black LC and 85RD to jewel the paint and it came out pretty good! Lot more depth in this paint now. As for the scratch wetsanding was in order but due to the thickness of the paint in the area (63m) all of it could not be removed.
After 105
After 105 and 205
Almost there just a little hazing nothing that RD can't take of!
Called it a day, pulled the back half out of the shop. Went to bed. Day 1 105* hot!! Can't get the front in so outside I go. Ok this is Day 2 106*- as you see 205 does a good job clean-up but holograms are left behind.
Cleaned up with rotary and 85 RD finished nice.
After sitting outside all day I know all the oils flashed off but I did do 3 IPA wipe downs before 2 coats of BFWD. Sprayed ice cold DI water beforehand to ensure the panels were cooled down. A day between coats of BFWD . Day 3 no better 104*. Finished up interior and polished chrome and the huge exhaust can!!
Afternoon sun shots need work, they all turned out bulry? Morning and evening turned out good.
Had to "tightened up the safety wire job" (as Norcal Bob would say...lol)
Last coat of BFWD doing its thing
What left of the scratch. Looks worse than it was.
Last day before delivery, final checks and photo's
Combed out the fins that the dealer hacks smashed!
Didn't take any pictures of finished out interior??? Wiped down and shampoed carpet and spots. Seats came out great! Leatherique worked well on the Ostrich. Spent 19 hours total on this beast! Thanks for looking

Great job Max.:thumbup:
Unfortunately, I do all most of my work outside, so I feel your pain with the extreme heat. It isn't easy by any means, but you pulled it off with flying colors!!!:hurray:

Thanks, guys! Hey working outside on black paint in 100* heat is not my favorite but sometimes it has to be done!
