96 ES300 and 06 RX330 :dance
96 ES300 (16 Hours)
As some of you remember, I picked up a PC about a month and a half ago. In just one day after, I managed to correct half my trunk, as seen here:
Start:
Finish:
Full View:
Now fast forward about 3 weeks...
Due to unforeseen circumstances, after a day of heavy polishing on the rest of my trunk/hood/passenger panels, the backing plate of the PC completely melted on me:
As usual, like any heavily concerned customer, I emailed Greg at Detailed Image AND Lake Country themselves. Due to my overgrowing concern about the backing plates, both Greg and LC sent me the revisions of the backing plates. As a result, I have both revisions of the plate, one that looks exactly the same as the old one and one that has a puke yellow center. Now it was back on the detailing with hopefully little hitch
Fast forward another 2 weeks for backing plates to come in...
Finally got done with the polishing of my car which probably took about 4 hours due to the severity of my scratches and swirls. Basically multiply all the scratches you see of my trunk to the rest of the car:
Anyway, in all actuality, it probably took me about 16 hours to fully polish my car to the shine and clarity of my standards, which are pretty high if you ask me. All in all, I got rid of probably 96% of the heavy marring which were induced with a brillo pad thanks to my sisters...
