This car was brought to me after speaking to the owner on a local forum and him not really sure what I could do with it as it had some problem spots. The back portion of the car was pretty bad and definitely showed its age. The car is not 100% perfect but definitely a night and day difference. Also, the front half of the car was painted recently and had minor swirling along with some light marring from washing.
-Car washed with Meguiars hyper wash using two bucket method with grit guards.
-Wheel wells and barrels were cleaned with APC.
-Wheels were hit with Meguiars wheel brightener.
-Entire car was clay barred using Clay Magic’s blue clay
-Various sections required using Lake Country’s purple hybrid foamed wool pad, along with an orange, black, white, and blue finishing pad.
-Meguiars M105 & M205 were used to correct the finish on the paint.
-Menzerna SIP was used on the B-pillar as it finished down a little better to my liking.
-Polished and sealed using ShowroomFX blazin maize & crystal black.
-All rubber dressed with ShowroomFX.
-All trim/wheel wells dressed using Meguiars natural finish.
Now for some pictures.
The front half of the car had been repainted by the owners friend. The hood scoops were left wetsanded with out being polished. This is how I received it and there were some HEAVY sanding marks on the vents along with the entire hood but the owner was aware.
After a Purple LC pad with M105 followed by M105 with an Orange LC pad followed by M205 on a black LC pad:

Dust was so bad this day and I didn't notice it when taking the picture...after:

This is where it gets good....
Rear bumper oxidation:
The owner was surprised at how this came out and didn't expect there to be any shine to it at all:

After:
50/50 shot of bumper oxidation:
Another shot:
Spoiler swirls/minor oxidation:
Another:
After:
Remember these guys that were wet sanded?
The owner didn't request the oxidation to be removed but I don't like putting out work that doesn't "look" like I didn't do anything so I went the extra mile for him and took care of it. Not 100% but he was ecstatic when arriving for pick up.
Questions/Comments are welcome.
Thanks for taking a look.
