400k Mess and Sonata

[ScubaStevo]

First up a 2000 Sonata, very low mileage, but bad shape. I don't have any before pictures, but the owner had used a scotch brit pad to try and remove sap. He had the surface wet at the time, so it didn't look like it was doing any damage....until the car dried.



Process:



Power Cut Plus via rotary and extreme cut pad

Power Cut via rotary and polishing pad

GS1 via rotary and polishing pad

GS1 via rotary and finishing pad

Seal It by hand

and one of me drunk on a bus going to toronto.

lol!

Next up, a Oldsmobile Cutlass. Owned by my gf's parents, and they want to sell it for $600. 400 k on the clock, so it was in horrible shape. I didn't cut the paint too hard cause I could tell the paint was very very thin.



Process:



XP Compound via rotary and polsihing pad

Power Cut via rotary and polishing pad

GS1 via PC

Awsome Gloss



Before:

Before/after:

Afters:

A portion of the hood wouldn't come swirl free, while the rest of the car was relativly 99%. Maybe it was her and I laying on it a while...nevermind.

And the interior:

So to recap. I charged $140 for the sonata exterior, and I did the Cutlass for nothing.



Sonata took 7 hours, while the cutlass took nearly 10.



Thanks for looking everyone.

Terrific work as always, Steve. That Sonata's paint looks a mile deep in that 2nd pic. That Cutlass was really rough, amazing you got it as good as you did.
