My first C&B, though not much to brag about really. Car is my daily driver, 90 miles per day minimum. 156,100 miles on the clock, stock single stage paint was repainted with base/clear 6 years ago, right before I bought it, to correct fading. All except the roof, which remains single stage.
A couple observations first: this was the first time I used Menz IP mixed 50/50 with RMG. This mix worked beautifully, no dusting, minimal splatter, and it just disappeared into the paint. Also first time using Collinite 845. Not quite as easy on/off as FMJ, but a little dab spreads a very long way, and rubs off quite easily. Can't wait to see the beading!
Process:
ONR wash
Clay Magic with ONR QD as lube
IP/RMG 50/50 on LC yellow via rotary, ~1500 rpm. Two passes on hood & roof, one pass elsewhere. Complete correction was not expected nor achieved.
OPS on LC white via rotary, roof only
Collinite 845 by hand
OS in door jambs
Sorry, no befores.
Looks good in the garage...
Not so good next day in the sun...
Overall turned out OK...
I used OPS on wheels when I put the summer tires back on about a month ago, it really made the flakes pop...
Got a new toy on Saturday, first thing it got is a coat of OS:
Thanks for looking!
