Practice Hood Half & Half

[Ken_Allen]

Before & After

Engine Degreaser 1:1 Then Scrubbed with SOS PAD!
Washed Meguairs DC
Clayed
M83 Multiple Times
M80 Multiple Times
2x NXT 2.0 Wax each between 24 hrs

As you can see I'm not entirely done with the one side. I have to keep cleaning my wool pads. I can't get the foam pads to work at all, so I totally gave up on those.

What the heck is all over that hood? And are you saying the whole hood looked like the "before" half and you scrubbed and buffed it to the level seen in the "after" side? Because that is impressive (and it shows you have a lot of time on your hands ).

Yep, before is the bottom half. Entire hood looked like that. Took me about 4 hours total for the hood. I needed a practice hood for buffing and wet sanding, so I'm cleaning this up.

What on it is paintball paint, dirt, mud, grime, anything you can think of.

Looks like years of dried bird dropping splatter on the before side?

Or is that just some kind of dirt build-up?

Wow, looks like the hood went through a war zone.

That is very impressive. Hard to believe the whole hood looked like that. Excellent work. Hard to believe.

Heck, just seeing that makes ME want to go wash my hands

Re: Practice Hood Half & Half

I wish I had some 105 to really remove all the scratches and oxidation in one swipe. 83 and 80 uses too much product and its pricey local.
