  • Detailed: 2006 Subaru Legacy 3.0

    Car owner came to me a couple of weeks ago, I was asked for a interior job and because he liked the job I did this weekend he asked if I could do a paint reconditioning and to do some kind of maintenance work on the interior.

    The car had lots of bonded contaminants, it was very rough to the touch. Also some scratches and swirls. Also it had holograms all over due to a bad polishing job done when it had the bumpers repainted.

    Wheels and wheel wells were in awful shape, the were cleaned and dressed.
    Also the exhaust tip were polished and protected and the exterior plastics were dressed for a more uniform appearance

    I must say that I couldn't capture too well the defects, the paint is a metallic grey and it was real hard to get the defects in the camera, no matter where I was, with the sun, halogen lights, brinkmann I just could capture what I wanted so I apologize.

    This is how I received the car








    After Wash













    This was only on the lower part of the passenger door



    Defects, what I could capture




    This was how the paint looked


    And this were the results, defect removal




    Corrected section under halogen light





    Afters


































    And some pictures of the interior, don't have any before, since it was pretty clean because I cleaned it a couple of weeks ago but here it goes anyways
















    Thanks for looking!

      Francis,

      Great work as usual. Could not believe your clay after that one section. Wow. You made the Subaru sparkle. Way to go. I bet the owner was thrilled.

                  The owners son came to pick up the car but then his son sent me a message saying his father said one work "INCREDIBLE" and that he never had the car like that, not even when we bought it new

                      FWIW, I find silver/grey metalic very hard to capture defects in pictures too.

                            Yes, it's hard!!
                            I had a couple of pictures, I think I had more pictures of defect, when I was checking them on the PC, I had only what I uploaded! the other pictures didn't show any defects

                              The only reason some people get lost in thought... is because it is unfamiliar territory for them.
