from orange to red

[SprintKing]

well below is the transformation of my car from orange to red. Im not quite the descriptive type yet & was quite lazy in that i didnt take enough before photos. But i plan to change that on the next car i do (tomorrow) as i believe it really is an art to telling a story about what you've done.






I started with:
meguiars gold class wash & lambswool glove
chammois dry
clay bar using soapy water solution
swirl remover #9 2.0 (i really dont know how to use this properly
yet) with rotary - clean off with meguiars microfibre cloth
and 2 coats of gold class polish
havent gotten the NXT yet but cant wait to go by this weekend and try it.

heres what happened....




If it looks a little odd at the front thats cos the front spoiler has to come off in order to get it up the driveway. There are still swirl marks in the paint but i believe it was reduced. Only practise will help me get better. but my how much shinier it is ...

needless to say i'm very happy


P.S - its fair to say that the light accentuates the orange look but none the less it was an impressive change

Hi SprintKing,

That's a very extreme color change!

thanks mike
as i say below the colour is accentuated by poor light (it was taken at dusk) although the shades arent quite so many worlds apart its was definately a big improvement
