2008 Range Rover HSE in for 2 Step Correction plus Pinnacle Souveran.

[Pinpoint_Precision]

Lets be honest here. Not all details is about a flawless finish. Not all customers are willing to spend huge amounts on their daily drivers. We understand that.

This client found me on Rennlist, biggest Porsche Forums and contacted me about doing his used but new Rangr Rover. He explained to me the problem with the paint and he knew what he wanted and I wanted to be sure that I have him what he deserved.

The procedure was simple, attack with his budget for 2 step correction.


Washing and decon.....

After all the washing was done, I then pulled the car inside. New client happens to own big warehouses, so I had an entire warehouse, to work on 7K square feet. Made my shop look super tiny. Lol

You know, at far away it does look glossy, let gets a little closer.

After performing my test spot

CarPro FlashPad paired with HD Adapt.

Yeah, that's how bad the paint was.

Moving on, now stay with me.

Usually I bring an extra Light Pod but I forgot mine on the shop, as the one I had the bulbs went bye bye, so I had to improvise. I used my car to help me with the procedure.

After

50/50 followed by Reflect

Thanks for looking.

[Mike@DedicatedPerfection]

Outstanding work Francisco! That black paint oozes with gloss now after Souveran.

Even though us detailers would love to perform show car work all the time (paid accordingly) the masses that keep us employed just don't need or want that level of work.

Keep up the top notch work.

[Sicoupe]

Like always, outstanding work my friend:)

Thanks Mike. I do agree with you, we always want a perfect paint but I learned quickly that sometimes, like this at for example, extraordinary results can still be achieved. The owner couldn't believe. 9.5 hours total lland all thanks to the Flex3401. This is a one machine that I will never sell.


Like always, outstanding work my friend:)


Thank you so much

[Chris@AutoCleanse]

Great work and turnaround as usual. How much time in just paint correction on this beast.

[Don M]

Nice work on that Rover, *I* like the shop you were in to do the work:dblthumb2:

[allenk4]

Nice work

But, that is NOT a "one-step". I believe Mike Phillips would call your process a 3-step

CarPro Flashpad (HD Adapt)
Refine with LC white pad (Reflect)
IPA
Finish it off with Pinnacle Souveran

A "one-step" would have been an AIO, like D151. Nothing before and nothing after, just D151

I favor the terminology of calling what you did a 2-step paint correction.

If we don't count claying as a step...why does application of the LSP count as a step?


In reality, as long as the Customer understands what you are going to do and the results it will produce...terminology does not matter

[jamesboyy]

Superior work on that Range Rover, really brought that boss appeal back into that dark paintwork

I would agree with you but that is a one step polishing or one step correction. In my terms I don't count the wax as part of the correction progress, that's why I added the term plus Pinnacle. We all have different terms on how we call it. Note, I could have easily have called 2 steps polishing but I decided to call it, 1 step correction since HD Adapt is more in the terms of a strong polish but it corrects like a compound.

Now keep in mind, i am from Brazil and sometimes English isn't my first language. Nonetheless. I hope you like the correction.

I am not sure whether you have to have facebook in order to see the videos.

I am waiting for my new iphone6 plus to come in. Haven't be able to post anything to YouTube lately. Don't know why.

Great pleasure seeing one more piece of your working routine. Amazing turnaround, and you showed it beautifully!

The use of your own car lights was pretty 'ingenious', albeit I already use mine to spots swirls and holograms on the cars on the street haahha

WTG, thanks a lot for sharing.

Kind Regards

[LRC3]

Great job man.

[Chase.Detailing]

Beautiful work!

Mind PM'ing how much you charged for this job? The reason I ask is this is the type of work I do most often when it comes to correction, so I want to see if my prices are on par, above, or below.

[FrankS]

Nice work Francisco, thanks for sharing.
