Few pics of how she was looking when I arrived
Haziness is very apparent in the paint
Reflection i was getting with my cameras add on LED light
Once the licence plate was removed. Don't think it had been cleaned there in a while!
As always i got started with the wheels.
Tires still had previous dressing but at least the arches weren't too bad.
The insides of these wheels were dirty! Grime was so baked on & thick not even a finger swipe would remove any to show how bad it was.
Now I don't like using acid & try to avoid it at all costs. But nothing i threw at these wheels made difference. So out came the acid & so did the grime. I then neutralized it with some apc which also cleaned a tiny bit. & finally hit it with IronX to remove the last amount of what was removable.
IronX doing its thing
Rims were then given some Hyrdo2 lovin!
Next up were Plastics & crevices
Made sure to clean the fabric border that goes around the sun roof.
& of course you cant forget to give the gas cap area some love, specially considering the condition it was in.
I then "foamed" the car down with a apc spiked mix to remove any previous LSPs.
My pressure washers "foam attachment"...i think its safe to say foam is the last thing this thing was made for haha
Unfortunately i forgot to get any interior pics, but here you can see the kick ass roll cage inside.
Needless to say, that back window was a mission on its own just to clean.
Car was then washed, IronX'ed, & clayed.
Few shots of the paint in the sun/overcast once it was all set & done.
I then got her all taped up & ready for polishing!
The plastics in that whale tail were a royal pain in the @$$ to tape up!
Making sure that fabric border doesnt get any compound or polish on it
Some before/afters of the paint correction process
Front right fender before
After compounding
Accidentally took these in black & white but,
Passenger side skirt before
After compounding
Rear fender before
After
Unfortunately it has not been possible to get some after pics in beautiful Cali sun, so here are some with an LED work light.
& some all around after shots!
& my favorite shot of all!!!
A few funnies...
At the end of the day i had used up enough tape to make myself a tapeman lol
Even the tapeman could resist to look at that wide rear end:xyxthumbs:
Thanks for looking!
