This weekends details - White Impreza and Black Turbo Protege5

[blue-sun]

With the 55+ degeree weather this week in IL, I got a few calls to do some details.



First was a 2000 Impreza L, daily driver to a friend of mine.



He lives about 2 blocks from the "L" in Chicago, and he used to live across the street from it at his old apartment. The car had heavy rail dust/fall out from the trains. I clayed and got lots of crap out from the paint, but it still had rust spikes in the paint. I think it was from the months of being next to the L and being outside 24/7.



Gold Class Shampoo

Clay with meguiars clay

DACP with meguiars cutting pad

NXT

Hyper Dressing, 3:1 on tires



Before:

After

My friend was working on the car while the NXT cured, so the only afters I got are in the garage still, while on ramps.

And look at the shine/depth from white!!!!!!

I love white cars when they are polished correctly! EXCELLENT RESULTS. And the Protege looks WET! AWESOME!!! And that hood is like glass!:2thumbs:

 

[Hey Moe!]

David 703 is right--"white cars when they are polished correctly." I see a lot that aren't polished correctly, but this one is nicely done! It must have been a bugger with the rail dust.



The Mazda looks great too! That's my favorite Mazda color.

the carbon fiber hood is clearcoated the same as painted panels, so it's treated the same as paint.
