Beautiful job. My car looked like that when I bought it used and now it looks awesome.

Thanks! It's awesome to take a used car and make it appear as new.

...The paint is the flattest that I've ever worked on and polished up almost flawless....

The Phaetons had a $1000 "Klavierlack" ("piano lacquer in German) option, where they wetsanded the car after the first two coats of clear, then shot the final clear coat.



It amazes me that anyone let this beautiful finish get that bad. Fantastic recovery!! :2thumbs:

 

[SpoiledMan]

Thanks for the enlightening. Dealer "service" does an excellent job of making cars look that bad.

[SpoiledMan]

wow you're right, i think i've only seen one on those, but i see rolls all the time!



great job on that car!

 

[SpoiledMan]

JBs, thanks. If there was a different name on the back of the car it likely would have sold like hot cakes.

Frank, thanks for the compliment!



I used a rotary polisher (Hitachi SP18VA) with a Lake Country light cutting wool pad with Menzerna Intensive Polish to cut the paint and remove the defects. The same rotary polisher with a Lake Country CCS green foam (Autogeek) pad and Menzerna 106ff to perfect the finish. The paint and all exterior plastic and trim were sealed With Ultima PGP.
