Again I realize I have a dedicated thread already, which it can be found here http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/show-n-shine/62417-pinpoint-precision-auto-detailing-show-tell-galleria-20.html

still I think this correction deserved its own thread as well.


<div style="text-align:center;">Sit back and enjoy the movie......
I mean the write up!

 



<div style="text-align:center;">Now to keep this thread viewable for everyone with slower connections, I will try to make this short as possible. For instance, the washing pictures won't be posted, sorry. Trying to keep it short and less boring.


 
 
<div style="text-align:center;">After carefully washing, stripping and decontaminating the paint completely, wheels and claying every single panel, glass , the car was dried using Cobra waffle towels and Air dried using my huge Blower.

After the clay process....


 

<div style="text-align:center;">Car was then moved inside. Photo studio ready, lol. Car getting prepped for surgery.






So it begins....



The paint wasn't that bad but it still needed some attention.

Panel by Panel



Rear quarter panel



Trunk

This I went with my Makita.

All the paint was measured before anything, for those that are wondering.


He had some deeper scratches in this area (That's what happens when you have cats).

Only one remained and that was after me wet sanding as well. Owner couldn't even see but I knew it was still there. *OCD*

After



Front Bumper

50/50 (Notice the right side how improved and clear it looks)


The owner never liked how bad the orange peel looked mostly on this area. Well I explained to him the options, so I went with safely wet sanding the entire front bumper after taking some reading to ensure it was okay. This car even though was 2010, it only had about 5k and garage kept at all times, so the entire car had good amount of clear.


A shot of the front of the car. 1st day I put easily about 18hrs.... I think when I took this shot it was already 1am I can't remember for sure.




After all the correction was done, Eraser was used to remove the oils left from the compound and polish. I then rewashed the car using ONR. After all that was done I prepped the paint using DP Prep Coating Polish.


Here is a quick shot after it was done.


and then it was time to apply the first coat of Cquartz


Here is a shot of the 1st coat of Cquartz


(Notice the lower splitter, that's actually paint gone from him hitting a curve 1 week prior. He would be changing that soon anyways.)




2nd day I came back early again to apply the 2nd coat of Cquartz. All wheels as well, were prepped and got a nice layer of CquartZ. I used CarPro Flyby30 in the windows as well.


Final touches were given as well........

50/50



Beauty Shots. It was kind of cloudy but still that wouldn't stop me from taking the final pictures.







Also here is a video. Unfortunately I had to take the car back inside, the weather was beginning to look ugly.

Nice work, paint looks really rich in the afters. 


 


On a side note, seems your camera has the same problem with red my old one did, makes red look more pink. Never able to adjust the exposure to fix it properly either.

I have to play with the setting on it.   There are so many that I haven't had the time to play with.  Thanks Scott.
