This car was in some realllllly bad shape. Its a friend of mines car and I told him Id do this for him last year. Back then I was more of a rookie with machine work and at the time I impressed him with a sample by hand after washing his car at my house, we were in a local parade the next day. At that point I had only machine detailed a couple cars and really didnt have a solid grasp on what kind of work it would take to fix his car. So.... last Sunday we finally both had a day to do this and I went to work. I was intimidated but I gave it all I could with only using a PC.
Here is the sample I did for him BY HAND months and months ago.....
Not perfection... but looking at what I had to work with the 5 minute Megs ScratchX x 2 + 1 coat of Megs cleaner wax by hand did work pretty well.
Heres some befores from last Sunday. The car had HEAVY pitting... I couldnt touch the pitting with the PC.
Im not familiar with sanding marks but does this look like someone tried to color sand the car and wasnt successful? There was a lot of this all over the car... along with deep scratches everywhere.
Heres some comparisons...
You can see the block where I taped off in this pic..
This was about as good as I could get it with a 2 step polish... #83 with the Megs burgundy cutting pad and then #80 with the yellow Megs polish pad.
My biggest challenge yet. 2000 red Camaro SS (Long post.. lots of pics)
