Here are just a couple of details I did last week. Sorry there was no sun out in most of the pics so the halogens is all I have.
Porsche Cayenne
Process
Wash=Megs Gold
Tires/Fenderwells=Megs All Wheel Cleaner/Black Magic
Clay=Meguires Clay Bar
Correction=M105 with LC Orange, M205 with LC White 5.5" via PC
Megs QD
Ill skip the washing/clay bar pictures and start with the swirls
Rear Passenger tested with M105 and a LC Orange Pad. Wasn’t enough so I had to make multiple passes. (My rotary took a crap and I have to buy a new one)
Front Passenger door about 85% corrected. Still some moderate scratches(not pictured). But the goal was swirl removal only.
Some 50/50 shots of the drivers door. Had to make 5 passes with M105 to get the scratches down a little. Since this door was the worst I spent some extra time on it so it wouldn’t stand out.
Taking a little break
And the Finished Pics
A Volvo for a friends dad.
This one needed some lovin. Took the better part of almost 7 hours. Paint was in horrible shape. Scratching everywhere. And most of the scratching was down to the paint. The hood had also been worked on before and the clear was so thin I was not willing to compound on it at all, so it got a polish and that was it.
And I will apologize in advance, I don't have any shots in the sun to show my work. I tend to forget to put together a photo shoot plan before detailing so most of the time these are just random shots.
The Beginning
Getting washed (Wheels and fender wells already done)
Just the top of the trunk
Just the door(Yep this is a dirty car)
Ready to get worked on.
Some of the scratching. Here are 2 shots Before and after with just compounding.
After shot. It is rotated 90 degrees for some reason. (notice the scratching is gone but the pad left some marring. Polishing was necessary to take car of that)
And the finished shots. Notice the trim is still discolored. The trim was so dry it absorbed the dressing I used. I had to go back with Armorall to darkin it up a bit.
This is a 95 Z28. 6-Speed. Day 1, due to time constraints, the owner needing to go to work, and my shipment of product not showing up, this will be finished tomorrow.
Car needed some swirl removal but will probably hit these pages again this winter to get wet-sanded for orange peel removal.
The Beginning
Swirls
50/50 Of the hood.
Putting the owner to work (Don't plan on coming over and hanging out on my couch) Ill gladly teach some detailing tips.
50/50 Of the door.
Door complete. Megs105/205 combo on the entire car.
Close up of the hood. Notice the difference from the Porsche/Marauder roof shots in my other Click and Brag posts. That's orange peel. Not too noticeable from 3-4 feet away but up close it really blurs the reflection. The car had also not been washed yet so don't mind the compound dust.
