3D HD Adapt and Poxy Review - 1940 Studebaker Streetrod detailed by Mike Phillips
3D Detailing products - HD Adapt & HD PoxyBlast from the past
This story actually start a few years ago when I met Vincent and he brought me the 1940 Studebaker streetrod he had recently purchased.
At the time it has a very old single stage paint job and it was time to stick a fork in it because it was done.
I document that encounter with Vincent and his Packard in this thread. Note these pictures were taken in the old Show Car Garage before we blew out the walls and doubled the size to where it's at today.
Past the point of No Return - Some paint just cannot be saved
Fast forward to the year 2015 and one day at a local car show I run into Vincent and I "thought" I recognized the car but it looked different. The reason why was because Vincent had it repainted.
Problem being... who ever did the buffing finished with a rotary buffer and left holograms everywhere in the paint.
First I need to shine a little light on the problem using the Flex Swirl Finder Light.
Holograms
As you're looking at the below pictures, not only will you see circular scratch patterns that are swirls but you'll also see LINES in the finish and these lines are the holographic appearance of the scratches put into the paint by the direct rotation action of the pad against the paint.
The lines mimic the direction the rotary buffer was moved over the paint.

This is the hood....

This car has a beautiful paint job but the swirls hurt your eyes and take away from the beautiful color.
3D is going to fix this.
