ok, so i detailed this black lincoln 29 foot limo today. The hood and trunk and some sides were just painted and the shop didnt do a good job buffing it out. As far as the interior, there arnt many pics...pretty clean; however the doors....somebody busted something all over it....i don't know what. http://autopia.org/forum/misc.php?do=getsmilies&wysiwyg=0&forumid=3#

Ok as far as process goes. Once you see the paint, you'll see the serious swirls i had to battle. Pretty much prevalent through out the entire car. Sides were just a little better but still bad. I'm just going to focus on hood and trunk the most and a bit of the interior.



As far as the pics go, most of them are good, but i was taking them whenever i had the chance because there were so many stratus clouds; basically whenever the sun peeeked out i stopped what i was doing and took pics. OK enough, on to pics. (all the white specs on the paint is not splatter...they were just raised dots on the paint...felt like metal..or something..i couldnt clay them off or anything)



Doors...as mentioned before, seems as if something was busted all over this by somebody..i dont know what..

Process:

Mr clean Eraser (sprayed with woolite water mix)

Mf to wipe off

Dressed with 303 aerospace prot.

Ok, on to the trunk..just look for yourself



Process:

1) megs 84 Compound Power cleaner

Used with a edge 200o yellow foam pad

On a dw847. speed 1750rpm

2) Followed by edge 2000 yellow med cut pad and Opt polish

came out pretty good. 90percent perfect...but limo owner only paid me XXX for exterior...couldnt do anymore for that price. LOL. Get what you pay for i guess



All after pics are showed with no LSP. I used s100 btw

yes, theres still a bit of micro marring, but i took care of it with 1 more pass fo opt polish
 
Very nice job.



One word of advice which I'm sure you'll find out soon enough, if you want to show off details you've done post them in the 'Click and Brag' section. I'm sure this will be moved there.



But, a very nice detail!
 
ok finally the hood

Process was the same as the trunk

that about it folks. 97 percent improvement. Looked ever better after 2 coats of s100.
 
I'm sure the white dots are paint chips. I'm somewhat fascinated by the hammered finish look that paint has. It's like it's giant orange peel. Any shots of the whole limo finished? Nice work on the swirls.
 
yea, i thought the white dots was splatter at first from the paint shop, but it wouldnt clay off. I Then picked at it and realized it was metal..but the thing is, they were raised above the paint..i dont know.
