Fire Extinguisher and Subaru Forester gone wrong - we fix it.


Got a call one morning from a new customer asking if we were able to do anything to fix her car which was vandalized.  Always up for a challenge I said sure what happened.  She said her car was vandalized with a fire extinguisher.  I said wow that's not good.  If you can text me some of the photos showing the damage I can assess it from there......what I didn't expect was how bad it would be, (see below) that being said 30 plus hours later we were able to get it back to a health condition, safe for her and her family to drive in again.

Teaser

Take a look at this 50/50 shot believe it or not that was the paint after it wash washed/clayed and cleaned up of all the dust from the extinguisher - damaged definitely done.  The left side cleaned up with Sonax Paint Cleaner with the Rupes Bigfoot LHR15ES and Uber Green Pad.

Impressed we were - Fun Fact: Did you know the paint cleaner has components of Sonax 3/6 in it?  That paint was cleaned up and drastically improved but remember this was not a paint correction detail.

The Dry Chems are very caustic.  We will use them at work only if a CO2 or Water Can can't due the job.


 


The 50/50 shot is remarkable.
