EXTREME ENOUGH turning 16 yrs old Charcoal paint to Mirror Finish, newbie on rotary

[kc's]

I had the opportunity to witness another 'believe it or not' episode

One of the New Makita owner..
Please do not believe anything you are about to see
cos it will distort your logical mind & alter your thought & effect you emotions

Initially i dont believe either...but after seeing what i saw .....how this Newbie on Rotary - Extreme Kaw kaw Extreme make over........

KAW KAW AKA MEANS EXTREME


We had another encounters last Sunday,after close to 11 hours correction on the E90 , I could hardly lift up both my arms & shoulder, as it is as stiff as a concrete……but detailing who can resist….

Instead of FLEE-ing …I flew to the crime scene….. one of which my buddy who got a new rotary & he started correcting his wife 16 years old oxidized car paint……the car is so oxidized that the owner...refuses to wash...but the loving hubby does all detailing, and it is out of his love for his wife, he bought himself a rotary & starting correcting...pain work

Let me share with you more…if you would please


Remember how lighting plays a big part in Car Detailing , as most cars defect only been seen from a strong lighting, what professional detailer want is to imitate Sun light but without the heat, as you need a cooling surface to work your compound & polishes.

From a distance the world looks blue and green,
and the snow-capped mountains white.
From a distance the ocean meets the stream,
and the eagle takes to flight.

Look good….but….hold thy fort & horses

Incredible restoration, especially for someone new to the rotary buffer.

The paint on this car looks as bad as any I've ever seen... it actually looks like the paint has not been washed or maintained in any way since the day it rolled off the assembly line.

Maybe I missed it but what did you use for chemicals?


Thanks for sharing and give your apprentice a pat on the back for a job well done and then give yourself a pat on the back for being a great teacher...


Each one... teach one...

Turned out nice but man that was hard to read.

[jpegs13]

Great job! Nicely done!

[jlb85]

Amazing turnaround! It looked like you could have scooped up the oxidation on the hood with a spoon!

[itzJoker]

Turned out nice but man that was hard to read.

For real, I got heavily annoyed reading all that and I can't believe I actually read all that lol.

But great job, I'm stunned by the results. What a huge difference!

[detail viking]

:iagree: I'm so confused.. Good job though on the detail.

[kc's]

thanks to all your kind words & encouragement...
My apologies...for not making a straight forward post....as it was written more to the general public...which most of my fellow countrymen ...

1.most believe their ride should be scrub in order to wash

2. most detailing shop does not have proper lighting...and each time they brag about ...how good glossy & shinny their work...butnever was shot close up. when it compared both lighjting side by side...

Now you can see the different..

3. almost all the car that was detail...some how ended up hologram....as free decorative gifts...

neverthel;ess..i owe my sincere thanks to all who read thru my post

Thanks for all your kind words of encouragement too

Cheers buddies
