  • Toyota Corolla from Belgium

    My brother in law asked me to detail his car,his Rolla has only been through the carwash every week during its 4year life and has never been waxed since he picked it up at the dealer!!!!!
    Iwas expecting the worst!!!!!!
    He drove it thru the carwash the evening before just to make sure it was clean"he said"

    CAR ON ARRIVAL


    Car on arrival did'nt look to bad from a distance!!!! After washing and claying it this is what i saw!



















    WETSANDED ALL THE SCRATCHES with 2000grit,followed by 2500grit with shampoo/watermix











    TAPED ALL THE TRIMS










    REMOVED ALL SANDINGMARKS with a rotary+M84 on a w7006cuttingpad






    DID A TESTSPOT with a rotary+M83 on a w8006polishingpad and discovered much to my surprise that it was a metalic paint! I have always thought that i was plain old black


    On the left side off the hood you can clearly see the metalic flakes pop!


    DID THE WHOLE CAR with a rotary+ M83 on a w8006polishingpad,followed by M80 on a w8006polishingpad,then 2 coats off NXTtechwax.While the wax was curing treated all trims with trimdetailer and cleaned windows in and out with NXTglasscleaner.And finished with a coat of UQD8

    THIS IS THE ENDRESULT!!!
