Civic full wet sand-A LOT OF PICTURES

[pampos]

Finally i finished the wet sanding/polishing on my Civic..It took me about a week because i was doing part by part...Sorry for the large amount of picturs but it is my first time on this + rotary polishing....
I used the follow sand papers:
1000 grit Megs
2000 grit 3M
2500 GRIT Megs
3000 grit Megs
Sanding mark removal with Megs #85 + Megs twisted wool pad W4000
Correction
Menzerna SIP+RD3.02 on LC CCS 6,5 orange foam pad
Menzerna RD3.02 + 106FF on LC CCS green foam pad
Menzerna 85RD 0n LC CCS 6,5'' black foam pad
DWG on the top
No LSP because the car has been resprayed 3 weeks ago...

So here we go with pictures

WOW you are very quick learner..... i remember when you first come not too long ago was total beginner..... now you have wetsand entire car and did very good job buffing out with a rotary...

I guess your next task is to get all the residue out of the body gaps and clean the body moldings/weather strips.....

That's true . i will remove the whether strips to clean/dress them as much as possible...
Also i am waiting the local Megs seller to have in stock the Megs degreaser to clean my engine,i have to make the interior,i have to remove the wheels to clean them etc etc...I have a lot of work to do....
Thanks for your good words about my job..I believe if you don't try you will never learn...i started without know anything about detailing last February(non even a year ago )...

I couldn't because the wheels where dirty,the trims needs cleaning and the glass need polishing
I have a lot of work to do on it including interior wet vacuum and engine bay cleaning...
