I went to the owner’s house this past Sunday to look at the car and discuss what the owner was looking to have done. The sun was partially out and I did notice some swirls etc, but nothing like I expected when I got the car in the garage and under the lights. The owner definitely had me nervous as he has done his research and is a very much OCD with his car as we are all on this site. The car came to me clean except dust.
This was my most challenging and most rewarding detail I have done to date, especially after the owner told me of his approval at the time of pick up.
Here we go – paint work only - total time was about 17 hours.
PB’s S&W
Ricardo yellow clay using PB’s S&W mixed 50:50 with water
It took me about 45 minutes to find the right product and pad combo. I tried PB’s SSR2 with white ccs, then PB’s 2.5 with white ccs, then PB’s 2.5 with orange ccs and then M105 with orange ccs. The M105 combo was the ticket.
Correction – After polishing the driver’s side, I called the customer to have him come out and look at what has been done. This was done to make sure we both agree on the correction work being accomplished (and also to help ease my nerves and mind)
Flex – M105 – LC CCS orange light cut pad x 2 and some places I hit it 3 times
Finishing polish was PB’s Pro Polish with LC CCS white polishing pad (worked as long as it would go)
PB’s Black Hole applied by PC – grey LC CCS pad
4* UPP – 2 coats applied by hand with foam applicator pad
Correction photos – Pictures were taken after the completion of M105. There are more, but I think 16 are enough to show you guys
