This car belongs to a good client of mine and which was purchased used last year by his father. They were looking to bring the paint back to life and give it some long term protection. As you can see from the pictures there was a good amount of swirls and a few RIDS that needed to be taken care of.
Process:
Wash - Megs Hyper Wash, 2BM, Lambs wool mit
Tires - OPC and Tuf-Shine brush, Hyper Dressing 3:1
Wheels - Sonax FE with various brushes and wash mit, Wheels removed and both faces and barrels were coated with Opti-Coat Pro
Surface prep - Speedy prep towel, Glide for lube
Decon - IronX and Tarminator
Paint correction - HD Adapt beta polish on the Rupes 21 with Megs MF polishing pads followed by HD Polish with yellow Rupes pads.
Coating Prep - Eraser and IPA wipe down
Glass - Clayed, polished with Hyper Polish, IPA wipe down coated with Opti-Glass Pro
Coating - Applied with CarPro micro suede and foam block applicator
