Interlagos Blue M3, 15k on it.
Drop off..
Wheel cleaned using P&S brakebuster with various brushes, tires+wells cleaned with ARO
Washed with FK1 concentrated wash out of their decon kit, which is just "okay", but the wash shampoo is actually very good.
Clayed with poly clay using ONR lubeness
The entire hood, front bumper and rear bumper had 3M clear film. It needed some extensive work to clean it up and restore some clarity, yes you can restore clarity to film:shead:
Some of the issues, stains, streaks and RIDS and hazing
Used the flex DA with M105, followed up with 106FA again on the DA and came back to finish it out with 85rd on the metabo, using the rotary after a DA may seem counterproductive but it works and thats all there is.
50/50 after first pass using 105
The FA helped clean up some of the haze M105 left behind, although it did actually finish down well on the DA
After the M105 and 106FA, video using the fenix LED 50/50
Film before..
After..
The front fenders had film as well and were treated to the same process as above.
The finish wasnt in terrible shape but the clear was very hard, started out with heavy polishing foam and P203s and ended up using the new LC cyan cutting pad with M105 for several passes.
Followed with 203s to refine the finish via rotary and then jeweled it out using Megs 205 on the DA... I think a DA is where M205 shines
testing out the new LC orange foam, leaves a great finish and cuts well but this clear needed a more agressive foam, the new blue LC pad worked far better on this car
After first pass using M105, about 90%
Finished down after the IPA
B pillar before..
After
Before correction haze under the infratech
After correction
Took a lot of combos to get what worked best for this car.... I ended up using all of these at some point during the detail
The side mirrors were tough to correct so I used a polishing pad with a 203s and came back with a finishing pad with 106FA... I kept the rpms around 1000 or less
before
during
after, with the grooves in the black plastic plastic and it being right near clear film I didnt chase the last few RIDS with a cutting pad (cutting foam = more heat)
working the 105
after finishing under the phene-ix
The trunk has some more severe defects which needed wetsanding
