Orinda Auto Detail
Opti Coat Pro Certified
This was a great learning experience for myself and Dan of Dark Side Detail. I'm sure we cant be the only one's who have said "what if we try this?" 50 times or so before finishing a car. Every panel of this car was very stuborn as over the last 55 year it had been repainted a bunch. Last known repaint was in 1986.
Process:
Wash with 50/50 dawn and p&s citrus wash
Decon with crystal wash, followed by 3m perfect it clay
All chrome emblems pulled off washed with wheel acid, then polished with Fitz chrome polish
Wheels pulled washed with Alkaline wheel cleaner and then polished front to back with Fitz Aluminum Polish.
Suspension degreased with Enviro-clean 10:1
Paint trizac 3k sand paper used in various places to remove rids.
3m perfect it compound and rotary were used to remove sanding scratches
Flex3401 Orange pad SIP used to remove buffer trash then laid flex trash in its place(wierd lines where color is off)
Flex3401 white pad SIP to then remove the flex trash(we got to this point after about 10 other product pad combos in different test spots)
Flex3401 green polishing pad 3m Ultrafine
Dewalt rotary Red CCS pad Menz rd85 for final polish
wash
Fuzion
Pinnacle Savauran
all wheels pretty much looked like this before
Not perfect but much better after Fitz polish, repeated this 3 motr times
Front's weren't horrible so the came out pretty much like chrome and these are aluminum wheels Bling
Swirls, Buffer Swirls, and a ton of RIDS
Checked in the sun
Emblems put back on and DONE!
Thanks for looking!
