I've done several vehicles for this client and this is his latest acquisition. He previously tried to purchase the vehicle in an auction 4 months ago and came up short. Fast forward less than half a year and he was able to get it...at a premium...with swirls and RIDs recently installed. Because he will be dirving this car regularly, the goal was to get as many of the shallow defects out as possible while saving room for future work. Before my arrival, the owner had washed and decon'd the car. I was left to do a quick rinseless for some light dust before jumping into the correction

Process
Rinseless with N-914

RIDs with flex kompaky, flex orange foam and P1 compound

Compounded with Boss 21, megs MF, grios FCC
Adams mini, LC MF, P1 compound
Flex Kompact orange foam P1 compound
Flex 3401, LC hybrid orange P1 compound for complex curves

Polish with Boss 21, rupes yellow, m205
adams mini rupes yellow, m205
flex kompakt flex black foam, m205
flex 3401, lc hybrid white, m205 for complex curves

Sealed with Angelwax Ti-22
Topped with Angelwax Enigma


All correction shots are after compound and solvent wipe, so there is a bit of haze

His garage could use some tidying-up. I see a towel and extension cord out of place:)

Great work, awesome car, and that client has an awesome garage. Thanks for sharing.

So true, the towel was there because he found some sand on the floor over there and thought there might be a gap in the door.

I must have gotten the other picture just right because you can't see the extension cord is for a trickle charger. But the cord length is way too long, needs to be corrected.

This is at a car condo, essentially you buy a unit with garage space and a loft. He doesn't hang out there much since his home is about a 1/2-mile away. Some are very extravagant, this is definitely spartan by comparison

Thanks, they are beautiful cars, and the build quality on this one is very good. Heart goes pitter patter; knees and back do not.

Wow.....!

I know it's metal, rubber and glass at the end of the day but how do you move past the value of the car and working on it, I'd be nervous as beck 😱
