I did a bunch of details over the last 2 weeks, just hadn't had time to get pics off the camera and onto my site until last night.
About 2 weeks ago I got a call from my buddies at the local shop, they needed some cars done the day before a show they were attending. Becasue of time constraints, I was only able to do a 1 step polish on most of the cars (except the Genesis coupe)
First car was this 02/03 WRX. I used a white pad and AIO on the car. I did use DACP on the CF hood and trunk. Hyperdressing 3:2 was used on the tires.
Next was a full polish of a black Genesis Coupe. It was recently washed, so I just did the polish and wax on it. It wasn't too swirled, but swirled enough for a black car that was going into a car show.
The during pics came up blurry, so only a few afters.
Next was a white Evo X. Same, just a 1 step AIO clean up. At this point I was so physically exhausted that I didn't take too many pics during and most of my few after pics were blurry.
Then yesterday I got to do this 700+ HP Drag Trans Am. This car was a real pain in the butt. The car sat at a chassis shop for over a year, sometimes outside. The entire pass side had spots all over it that wouldn't come out, regardless of what I tried.
I washed the entire car, clayed it and then washed it again.
I started going after the pass side with my standard, DACP and a red Meguiars cutting pad. 2-3 passes did nothing. I moved onto the Menzerna twins (IP and FPII) and those did nothing still. I called the owner out to look at the paint and he had 3M rubbing Compound, so I tried that as well but nothing. I ended up using the Menzerna twins on the entire car, as it had the best finish that I could. The car was sealed with NXT.
Befores:
And the panels that I couldn't fix. They definately got better with each pass, but regardless, the panels had spots all over them. Not sure what would have gotten them out.
Thanks! Yeah, that WRX was sharp. It has the tails/bumper/trunk of the 04/05 if you notice. The S2k was nasty. Even after I was done with it, I could have spent another 4-5 hours on it getting it perfect. it was NASTY!
Yeah, I think she wanted to make sure people know that she's a girl and that it's not a Tiburon. She swapped out the plate frame while I did the Evo to a black one that said Genesis on it.
