My first paint correction.

Went out and hit the whole car with some DG Aquawax this morning, Aquawax on the wheels too, dressed the tyres and cleaned the glass.

Some final pics...











The owner was absolutely ecstatic when I dropped it off this morning.

Looks awesome.

Yea, it's a bummer to destroy pads. I fried some orange CCS pads earlier this summer. I used too much product and it they overheated and melted the center of the velcro backing.

Cheers guys! I learnt (learned for Americans :P) so much. I learnt I need a couple stronger cutting pads, a couple more light cutting pads, and a few more high quality buffing MF cloths. I also learnt it takes a lot of force, effort and most of all patience, to do a whole car, and do it properly. But most importantly I learnt that I really enjoy doing this, and I'm actually good at it, and have a good eye for it.

I'm doing my mates brand new Hyundai Veloster Turbo (white) next Monday, so I'll get some more pics. Hopefully it's in pretty good condition and I can save my poor arms lol!.

Great Job! Bummer on the pads though, live n learn is sometimes the best teacher. Can't wait to see the next one.

You didn't restore the paint you resurrected it!

The before close up photos really tell the tale of actually how neglected and damaged the finish was in.

You had a great plan of how and what to use. The test spot was perfect in size to give you confidence in how to proceed. Your execution was outstanding and the results are even more impressive.....

Thanks a lot for the kind words, Bobby. The pictures don't really show how bad the paint was on the roof. After the WGTSR there were still so many old water spot marks and weird kinda hazing. It wasn't until I really got into it with the M. Ultimate Compound that it came up how I wanted it to.

I really appreciate the positive comments.
