alright, the owner of this car deserves some props. he realized that he was getting some cob webbing (haha understatement) on his XLR and decided to compound the car..... by hand, for the first time, and he ended up failing miserably 
needless to say, he knew who to call....
i received this 39K mile beauty in horrid condition....
thats a shiny black car in the making... i told him i would try my best.
this was after washing, claying a little bit on the front and rear bumpers. and sides. and detailing the interior (no pictures, it was relatively clean...)
one more view of the damage by his turtlewax compounding...
believe it or not this car IS BLACK.
he gave me 7 hours with the car because he needed to get it home before the rain scheduled for the evening... i had a friend help me out, and i used my garage at my regular job.... notice the meguiars products all over the shelves in the first picture?
process after wash/clay
#105 once with a dewalt rotary and a yellow pad
#105 with a G110 on a megs/ red pad (i forget the number im terrible with that, colors do it for me)
#205 G110 (yellow pad)
#21 synthetic sealant 2.0 (blue refining pad)
#26 high tech yellow (i like how it does not streak on black cars, so a light top coat was added with the G110 and a black finishing pad.
APC On wheels, hyper dressing 1:1 on tires, and wheel wells, never dull on exhaust tips.
all of this work with the two of us and no pictures were taken along the way as with my usual work.... sorry ill do better.
AFTER, the stuff of legends.
pulled it out to the afternoon sun and parked it next to my horribly neglected 2000 cavalier.
enjoy
hood after
finger got in the way....
TA-DA! back to its showroom glory.
front bumper had a few deep scratches which could not be removed... if i can become a little less scatter brained when i detail, i will have a better documentary of what happened on that blue cement floor.
enjoy!
