Hello all! I'm new here. Just thought I would show off the results of my first detail from my box o' goodies that I just received from Autogeek last weekend. This is actually a partial detail. I've got an 18 month old, so time is a little harder to come by these days. I need to finish cleaning the interior, engine, and a few minor exterior details. I didn't go all out on this car because I have a new daily driver, so this one will be sold before long and didn't feel it was worth the time. I just wanted to learn to use the PC and make the car look better. I think it came out 100% better, with about 75% of the swirls removed. It still has a lot of random scratches from 9 years of highway driving. It's hard to tell looking at before and after pictures, but in person I can definitely see a difference, with the color being much darker.
Particulars:
1996 Olds Cutlass
Washed-Megs Deep Crystal
Clayed
OHC via Orange Wolfgang pad
EX-P via Gray pad, then again by hand
one pass with Nattys Blue
I only have one decent before picture since I just have a crappy 2.1 MP camera, so it's hard to see a difference. But I think this one compared to the other after hood shot shows how blah the paint looked.
This shot is after I did half of the hood (top part of pic).
The rest are all the afters.
