GOT PREP?
After reading this thread: http://autopia.org/forum/click-brag/91560-some-bad-halograms-v-2002-z06.html it reminded of some work that I did the other day.



The owner bought the car off of ebay and it was delivered in the rain. :wall The car was absolutely hammered! Every panel was covered in severe buffer swirls, scratches, etc.



I was limited on correction because the owner didn't really want to spend a fortune to have it reconditioned. Perfection would have called for twisted wool and then a trip down the ladder of polishing steps.



I did what I could for the money and SIP *really* impressed me.



ONR



Menzerna SIO/green CCS pad from TOL(which as I understand it is different from the green that AG and CMA sell) @1700 RPM's



Menzerna PO106FF/black CCS pad@1400 RPM's



OCW wipe down



Poli-seal/PC/black Sm arnold pad @speed5



Removed with OCW moistened towel



Rewash car with pressure washer MF mitt



Opti-seal

:wow: That is very impressive! What is the cut of TOL's green pad like?



I think I have to order some SIP. There goes my wallet getting lighter :wall

It definitely has more cut than the green foam offered by CMA(can't speek for AG as I don't own any of their green CCS pads) and not as durable. It also doesn't finish as well, which is to be expected with the increased cut. It's much more stiff and the "cells" are larger--more open if you will.
 
Hah, glad I inspired you to post this; that's some fantastic correction given you weren't going for "perfect". Interesting LSP process too.
 
Something i never understood.



How do these hack detailers do so much damage and not see it? Then how is it possible the customer not blow a lid when they see it?



Ive corrected 7 vehicles so far with holograms just like those.

I'm betting we've all asked ourselves that question 1,000 times. When I was doing that vette yesterday I said over and over, "who would *pay* for a job like this?". It's boggling.
 
Great work! All the bad car washes in the world coundn't have swirled it as bad as that "detailer" did!
