Did a favor for the g/f's mom...detailed a repainted Lexus....I planned this one out as well this month to submit for the show and shine...it seems only appropriate to detail a black car on Halloween...
Process:
Being repainted...the paint had the typical signs of a poor paint job...foggy paint and loads of orange peel...didnt get rid of all of it as this was a freebie and i didnt have 12 hours to do this detail.....but the hood did get wetsanded (2000 grit and 3000 grit) and the rest of the car got a compounding with 3m rubbing compound, polished with SIP and purple wool, and finished off with 106ff...
Claying was taken car of via my new Hi-tech body sponge...I like it as it cleans paint quickly...but it does leave a lot of marring...so only gets used when I know I am polishing
Collonite IW got the call of duty on this one as it is parked outside daily (as you can tell from the pics)
PICS!!!
