Horizon Detailing - Custom S60 R Major Paint Correction

[Darkstar752]

Hi guys,



Been really busy and backed up on getting write-ups out but I'm working overtime to change that Here's a beautiful Volvo S60 R, and very rare in this color combo as the owner told me. I believe it was in the teens or single digits of this color scheme. The car also had a bunch of additional work done to the engine and exterior, most notably an added second exhaust pipe and a remounted intercooler. The car was putting 425hp and it rumbled and growled like it should.



Mileage was around 80,000 and it showed. The process took about 17 hours. Not too many durings as it was threatening to rain during the wash and the correction was very hard to pick up, even with a DSLR. The car had also been a victim of the dealership "DuPont Permanent Wax" which was absolutely disgusting and hard to remove. Not in a nice way either, it was sludge and somewhat like trying to wipe of a thick goo. Ew.





We'll start with some befores:

Started with the rims, de-tarring showed here. Not too many wash process photos as rain was threatening:

My goodness. That interiour is fantastic. I don't know that I've ever actually seen that color.



Good work!

Thanks! The interior is called Atacama. It's an unprotected leather, so it was cleaned with Woolite 25:1 and Leather Masters Vital and Protection cream. Bit disappointed I ran out of time for after pictures of it.

Great job!

Thanks Scott!
