Bump

This customer has been doing business with me for a long time with numerous vehicles dating back over 5 years ago, so I set him up with a courtesy basic detail on the house as a thank you. He took the opportunity to upgrade to a 1 stage paint correction while I was at it. I got about 80%+ correction on the whole car. Some sections were 90% and the trunk (where I did 2 stages) is very close to 100% with only a few RIDS left. Onto the pics..


Process:


Exterior
-Foamed with Dawn
-Rinsed and Dawn wash
-Gloss-It Wheel Gel on wheels and tires
-Daytona EZ detail brush
-Swissvax Wheel brush
-Clayed with Z18 and Megs LT as lube
-Tires with Zaino Z16



Correction
-Gloss-It Extreme Cut w/EVP on LC orange via PCXP speed 6
*I was suprised how well this finished down. After 3 IPA wipedowns, no micromarring*


LSP

-Zaino ZAIO
-Zaino Z5pro
-Zaino Z6




Before

Gloss-It Wheel Gel working its magic. This stuff is awesome.

Gotta get it clean in here too!

You can see the water isn't really beading well on the surface.

Pre-wash foaming to loosen stubborn dirt and debris.

After rinsing/washing/striping the paint there is no beading at all. A fresh clean surface to start with. On to the claybar.

Paint was pretty rough, this was a brand new bar...

Deep scratches on the trunk...

All better!

More swirls....

Corrected!

Some deep scuffs from an impact on the bumper...

Not perfect as they were very deep, but much improved.
