Recently completed comprehensive detail with the help of Daniel from Car Connoisseur coming up from So.Cal once again, this vehicle is a daily driver that sits outside 24/7 and had never been detailed as far as I could tell. The wash/decon steps would take over three hours to complete and many hours after that to restore the vehicles cosmetic appearance once again.
Vehicle condition upon arrival.
During the wash portion, sometimes pics will show the LSP being stripped off with no surface tension on the finish................... in this case there was no LSP(Wax/sealant) on the finish to strip off.
Arm & shoulder workout completed......................no need for the gym today during the clay step.
Just a little amount of metal particulate............................
Now to the corrective stages, defects like this everywhere on the car.
The hood had acid rain damage, hard water etch etc........................ this was going to take deep leveling of the finish and there was enough paint to work with to accomplish the goal.
Initial 50/50 pic.
Gloss and clarity restored on the hood.
Marring and scratches.
Deep cutting of the defects, note hazy reflection of the Halogen bulb.
Defects removed, reflection of the Halogen light defined with more clarity.
Same area after medium polishing step was carried out, metallic flake is coming through now.
After first fine polishing step, utra fine polishing step would follow after this.
