Did this car today. Customer just wanted the car washed, clayed and waxed, then wanted to see what I could do with the hood and roof.
Basically at one point the hood and roof where repainted and the clear had been failing from very long exposures in the sun. Was SEVERLY oxidized. Was able to pull as much as I could out. Sucked that the hood and roof where so starved that within about 5 secs of the compound sitting on the hood, it caked on its own and turned to dust. So it was extremely hard to buff.
Before: As you can tell its a black car that almost looks white! :nervous2:
Then the test spot to see if it was able to at least be cleaned up and returned to its original color so it could get a better price at auction...
Test spot was just done with 3 buffs, still shy of a sealant and wax.
Some half and halfs on the roof...
Then after, before washing and waxing...
Now washed, the rest of the car clayed and waxed...
Customer was extremely happy, will be going back to do a few more cars for him in the coming weeks.
