cobra paint correction

This was by far the worst paint correction ive had to deal with. This was a paint correction and wax only.It came out pretty good , i wet sanded some areas but some of the stuff was just to deep to remove and there were rids everywhere.I wasnt pleased with hood but there was some body and paint work on the hood and there was some grinder marks on the hood i just could not remove after compounding multiple times ,it wouldhave needed a full wet sand and time and budget just did not allow for it as i spend 3-4 more hours polishing than was budgeted for any way just because i wasnt satisfied. First i washed car with ONR and taped trim. Before i started the PDR guy to remove 8 dings from car. Polishing process - 16 hours with flex and alot of pad combos both wool and foam. Being that the car was black i decided on a 3 stage polish process using (1)megs 105 compound and 3m ultra cut compound- 2 of the heaveiest hitters there are. (2) Menzerna SIP and prima swirl[was testing cut of both] (3) mezerna 106 with lite cut/finish pad. I performed IPA wipe down and used Infratech cm 5300 color matching light after each pass to check work, there were multiple areas i had to add extra passes. After polishing was complete I washed car with foam gun and two buckets. Did entire car glass,plastics and trim with VMG. Dressed tires with megs hot shine gel[ a sample i had gotten to try] Then used Nattys blue for LSP. Total time about 19 hours. Thanks for looking! Some befores afters and 50/50

Re: cobra paint correction

WOW. Good work. Is this thing a daily driver? I can't believe some of the damage around the hood and emblem there.

Re: cobra paint correction

Great job, it looked like the PO's washed it with a Brillo pad regularly.
