Here's a small write-up since I did not have the time to take a shitload of pictures like I normally do:
Basically, the car was brought to me needing a "new car prep". Basically, it had dealer-induced marring/swirls and minor defects in the paint, along with wax residue from a hack detailing it in his work parking lot. I spent a solid 3-4 hours just removing the old wax/residue from the trim and sides of the stripes.
The car was brought with a thick coat or 4 of wax on it that took 2 foam baths to fight off, along with several IPA wipedowns with a microfiber afterwords.
Here's a shot of the water beading prior to its foam baths:
To help remove the wax, here's my weapon of choice:
Here's a process pic of the foam bath:
Another:
After the foam bath, the car got blown dry:
Here's a shot of the paint after just 1 pass with a black ccs pad with some menzerna p085rd (the best finishing polish I've ever put my hands on next to 3m ultrafina)
Each panel of the car got 3 passes with the rotary.
LSP was Blackfire Wet Diamond Sealant which I find to bond the best to most paints and last the longest, especially on garaged cars. It has 2 coats of sealant and 2 top coats of wax to protect the car's finish. All trim was taped off, including the stripes to prevent residue issues like he brought it to me with.
Here's a few final shots outside while I was giving it a final wipedown, awaiting his arrival:
thanks for looking
