Hi all!
So here's a little gem I did and her name is Nikki. She's been through 3 Gumball 3000's and some other similar events and well, you can see that she's been rode hard and put away scratchy. The owner is emotionally attached to her and can't bare to let her go so he had her repainted in Scotland, but they didn't do a very nice job. I think the second coat of clear that they put on it wasn't the best because it's had to see where you've already painted once the first coat of clear is on. If not painted evenly, which is the case here, the clear will be full of orange peel. Instead of wet sanding, I broke out my old Auto Magic "Destroyer" XP Compound (a non-diminishing compound that is about the same as 800 grit) and went to town on the OP. Here's the befores of Nikki >>
Don't know exactly what these were, but they had to be compounded out...
After compounding with XP and a wool pad... OP gone!
This was the door and I hadn't even touched it at this point!! I don't know what the hell they washed it with, but that's just insane!!!! This was all cleared up with Wolf's Wp-6H compound and a wool pad, followed by Wolf's WP-2N and a finessing pad.
After compounding and before the 2nd wash.
Nikki got 2 Braxilian waxes with Swissvax Concorso.
