Necessary for cleaning front wheel wells....

The car has carbon ceramic brakes, no chemical wheel cleaner was used. Heavy dilution of pH car shampoo and various brushes worked fine.

Tires stripped of old dressing, wheel wells degreased as well

Pre-wash cleanup



DSC07801.jpg




Sprayed down the entire car with a diluted degreaser to strip off prior protection and loosen up some grime, car was pressured washed again and began the 2 bucket wash with CG citrus shampoo

The car had a lot of bonded contaminants and a very rough feel, clay process took close to 2hours to complete

Plenty of paint to work with, diamond hard clearcoat :shakehead:

Started paint correction on the front hood and bumper both of which wrapped in clear film.



RIDS and swirls

After several passes compounding and polishing



DSC07840.jpg




DSC07845.jpg




Refining the coarse finish left from compounding at.... 2300rpm :crasy:



1900 and slower passes during the polishing stage, working products at 1500rpm does very little for extremely hard paint

OMG!!!!........................... that is all i can say!!!!!!! look at those Wet after shots! What did you call in a Crane and get the car Dipped into liquid shine!!!!





What was the LSP!
 
That is absolutely amazing! I can't get over how much the color deepened as the haze and scratches were removed. I'm sure the owner is very happy. You sir are obviously a master at what you do. Job well done!



MIke



P.S. Your not a bad photographer either! Those are some great shots.
 
Beautiful job!



Am I missing something though? You mentioned that the car's front hood and bumper were wrapped in clear film. I'm assuming it's the same as what I refer to as a clear bra. I was always under the impression that this type of material could not be compounded because of the softness of the plastic film. The clear bras that I have experienced will scratch very easily just by rubbing on the surface with a towel in hand.



Please let us in on the secret. What type of product did you use to get rid of the scratches and swirls in this particular area?



By the way, I'm glad to see that you are a Rejex user. You don't see that name mentioned very often in these forums. It's one of my favorite LSP's
