After about 2 weeks, I finally got my car back from the shop. I was hit in the bumper, and broken exhaust pipe, and my front rim was bent badly.

Here's some pictures of the order I reveived yesterday.

And now, after 5.5 hours of compounding on my extremely hard CC, I am finished. I also applied a layer of Klasse HG Sealant today.

BEFORE:

AFTER: (just Klasse HG Sealant, DP Premium Surface Sheild is going on at 7am tomorrow, and tomorrow night Collinite #845 goes ontop, followed by a layer of SigSeriesII, Liquid Soveran, and Zymol Titanium, over the next 2.5 days)



























(hood, I'm not good at hood shots..

That's a lot of wax

Car looks good already, nice job

Lastly, my new SS custom made exhaust. Since they don't make my car anymore, this sort of part is no longer available. Cost her (lady who hit me) insurance $1180 for it.

I really like the nice rumble and the sound of the exhaust. I have a V8, and it's just so smooth.








A little about the work that was done..

I used Optimum Compound on the PC, with an aggressive pad, on speed 6. I would not recommend this for someone without some PC skills. This isn't easy..

I have no marring, swirls, orange peel etc. The paint is PERFECTLY clear, smoother than melted butter, and the depth/shine are amazing for nothing being on the car. I will follow up with additional pictures after I apply some wax so you can really get a better idea how the car will turn out.

I have used #83, Meg's Fine-Cut Cleaner, local detailers compound, all without any luck on removing these swirls. I have used #83 very successfully on others cars, but I just could not remove these! Finally... they are gone. I will be adding Optimum Polish to my line-up too. I enjoyed working with OC, and for those skillful ones out there with the PC, OC might be the most aggressive you could go on a PC.

I had a blast doing it, as detailing cars is my passion. The interior, glass, and rims will be done tomorrow, meanwhile DP's Premium Paint Shield will be applied first thing tomorrow morning, so I can apply a coat of wax tomorrow night.



On a lighter note, is the nicest "white" car I've seen locally, or ever worked on. After removing the swirls on this car, the paint is really nice underneath. I might make an exception and get some Soveran paste for my WHITE car..



Take care...

Yeah, I have the time. We are moving very soon, and have nothing else to do. I finished the last of my clients, and have been really busy the last month.

It looks very good Nick. Are you really still going to put Collinite #845 on top, followed by a layer of SigSeriesII, Liquid Soveran, and Zymol Titanium, over the next 2.5 days?

[nick19]

I recently got a sample of the Liquid from kelso, so I'm going to try it out, not sure if I have enough for the whole car though.

#845, SSII will def. be going on. Depending on the look, Zymol might be the last LSP to go on. Of course with proper "curing" or "drying" time..


Thanks Gary

Nice job, it's not easy making white look good.

That looks pretty good and what a long process. Have fun and can't wait to see the finished product.
