When I last did the Mit Pajero I said to myself what can be bigger and worse that that, BUT I was so wrong. This car was referred to me by a very good customer and I felt that I should not turn the referral down, so than came the HUGE Honda Elysion and worst of all it was a very badly swirled and scratched BLACK car.
This car is about 1 year plus, “groomed� for once or twice and subsequently washed by either the maid or the petrol station car wash. So you can imagine the kind of damages was done to the car, especially on a Honda paint work.
I will skip all the defects pictures on the car and come straight to the before and after of the defects removal photos. After washing and claying the car, I proceed with the steps as below,
IP/RMG mix + green wool pad + rotary @ 1800 rpm on the more serious area
IP/RMG mix + light cutting pad + DA @ speed 5, 2 pass on most of the area
Here’s what I got after the 2 steps mentioned above, you can actually see the huge difference in the 50/50 shots.
Without the halogen light,
With the halogen light on,
And here we come to the before and after shots,

After most of the defects were removed, than I followed with a polishing step with,
Pink Moose (RMG/VM mix) + polishing pad + DA @ speed 4, and after that I finisheded it off using the Clearkote Carnauba Moose Wax (CMW) by hand using a foam applicator. As usual CMW has never failed in bring out the excellent depth on a dark color car.
For some close-up shots,
For those who noticed it, there is actually a long scratch mark on the front passenger door that went down to the prime coat, so basically nothing much can be done on that. As for the rest, I must say I am pretty happy with the result after spending almost 12 hours on this black giant. Thank you for reading through and I hope you guys like it as much as I did.
