Hello:
I was recently contacted by this customer to do a full correction + OptiCoat for a local car show. Upon inspection, I figured 2 steps compound + polish would do the trick to remove the water marks and underlying marring, swirls, rids, etc.. Needless to say, after doing a test spot, that was not the case.
Process:
Pre-rinse
Wash w/ 2 Bucket Method
Tar / Iron Decontamination
Clay
Rinse
Waffle Weave Dry
Dual Compound
Medium Cut Polish
Fine Cut Polish
Mineral Spirit Wipedown
LSP
Products:
CG Citrus Wash & Gloss
Carpro Wash Mitt for upper Panels
Sheepskin Mitt for lower panels
Tarminator
IronX
PoorBoys Bug Squash
NanoSkin Medium Grade Towel
DI Waffle Weave Towel
Multiple Wheel Brushes
Opti-Bond Tire Gel
Adam's Metal Polish
5.5" Microfiber Cutting Pad + Megs 105
5.5" Microfiber Cutting Pad + FG400
5.5" LC Orange + 205
5.5" LC White + Menz SF4500
Mineral Spirit Wipe Down
LSP: OptiCoat Pro
Well, let's see where I started....
Definitely a "50 footer"...
Closer Look- Notice heavy water spotting/etching, RIDS and deep Swirls
Not so bad here
Not terrible on the trunk lid either
Still some pretty obvious swirls and R.I.D.S
Noticeable holograms and swirls here on the roof- what you can't see here is the heavy waterspotting
Same story here- Owner says dealership didn't polish this when he had work done... I see differently
Notice the density of water spots along the edge of the hood in this picture- this was the case on entire car
Water spot damage shown much clearer here...
Absolutely no clarity!
Now,the transformation
OptiCoated these as well.
Thanks for looking!
