Excellent write-up, pics and work! Those 50/50 shots are incredible! Very nice work!

[BrutalNoodle]

Yeah, I'm sorry! Pretty hard to look at I know, right, lets fix it! A couple of 50/50 pictures -







And finally, some pictures of the subject completed -








Thank you all for looking.

Outstanding!

My neighbor (Audi TT, black) was curious of professional/quality detail work vs drive through tunnels & their "wash & wax specials." Going to show him the above photos.

Wow just Wow! - Beautiful work Aaron. Make sure you watermark those photos now! - I can just imagine the 'steal and sell' ability. Been happening a lot on FB in Aus

Great write up and beautiful work. Love the 50/50 shots! Thanks for sharing.

That was some serious abuse to that beautiful paint!

Excellent job!

Nice work, Aaryn!
I've been getting a lot of work like this lately, people only bring their cars to detail when they can't stand looking at it, and usually black cars.
Probably due to the economical crisis, they look for the cheapest, get the worst, and then try to fix it when the deal is done.
Sometimes it is so bad that you need a pre-cut stage, to level it off, like rotary, wool and menz 300, since cutting alone with let's say menz 400 isn't enough.
What I bluntly say to my clients is that his car's clearcoat 'got AIDS', because the level of correction needed is so profound that the remaining clearcoat will be so thin to withstand and to be able to give the protection needed.
Probably this is the reason I've been seeing so much cases of clearcoat failure nowadays in cars that are not supposed to be showing it, like 2010, 2011 cars, the thin clearcoat trend and one or two hack detailing job is enough to screw it up permanently.
Best regards, mate.

Thank you.

Yeah, I too have seen a few too many late model vehicles driving around woth clear coat failure of late. I hadn't given it much thought that this type of work may have been a contributing factor, I was along the line of thought that maybe modern paint systems are just not up to the task these days but perhaps you're onto something.

Awesome recovery and love that color.


:dblthumb2

Thanks mate.

Crazy nice colour huh!

Aaryn NZ.

Brilliant work, Aaron! Those are very dramatic 50/50 shots as well.

Thank you.

I'm sure the 50/50 pictures would have been even more dramatic in the sunlight too.

Aaryn NZ.

Amazing job!

Those 50/50 shots are so satisfying especially with that green it looks great!

Thanks.

I could help but smile when I saw just how nice the green really was, very satisfying indeed but also sad that people work like this too.

Spruce Mica is a beautiful paint! Nice job

Thanks.

Spruce Mica! Nice. I hadn't seen this colour before, or at least I hadn't seen its true colours before, I really like it, such a course metallic too.

Stunning. Great work.

What's the best method to send those 50/50 shots to the body shop? Unmarked envelope? Slid under front door? Print a poster and tape to front window??

Thank you.

Hahaha, yeah - I thought of doing something like that. I doubt they would "get it" at all. If they were okay with letting it leave their shop the way it was, I believe they're beyond help.

Aaryn NZ.

Those are beautiful 50/50 shots, amazing work. I tend to drool when I see swirls and get excited knowing that myself or any of the AGO geeks can transform them into glossy masterpieces, again great job

Thanks.

It certainly is satisfying when you can do it properly & get results like this, although I would rather just the holograms without all the compound in every crevice & on all the black trim (My McKee's 37 Wax Remover For Plastic Trim arrived today, doh!)
but still, I see way too many cars like this, & more & more I will more than likely see more cars without enough paint to correct the damage.

Aaryn NZ.

The people who did that ought to be ashamed, you Sir should be very proud. Show those before and after photos to future customers, if I walked into your shop and saw those, I would be assured I was dealing with a true professional! Amazing.

Thank You.

Kind words indeed. I posted these pictures on my shops Facebook page & it got a bit of interest. Kinda the whole "each one, teach one" deal. The more people that see it, the more people learn how its done properly.

Looks great! Love the 50/50 shots!

Beautiful work Aaryn! You really showed those defects who is the boss!

Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed the fb posts as well as reading about it over here.

Thank you Mike.

I'm still a newbie on Facebook, July I think I started the page & So far so good as far as "working" for the shop.

Aaryn NZ.

Night and Day! You got that paint lookin dripping wet. Great save Buddy.

Thank you Don.

I credit you for my love of Essence my friend.

Aaryn NZ.

Wow! Scary that someone would think those before shots looked good. That green really made those swirls pop and it really shows how well you saved it. Nice work!

Thanks.

Very scary . . . I struggle to understand why such a person would be in the automotive appearance industry & not have a smidgen of an eye for detail.

Aaryn NZ.

Awesome turnaround man!

Thank you Justin.

Aaryn NZ.

Wow, just a FANTASTIC job!

Thank you.

Aaryn NZ.

Great work Aaryn. Hard to believe that there are people out there that charge for that poor quality work.

Thanks Mike.

I hear ya there Mike, they probably sleep just fine at night too, not like this ol' beat up detailer - I go home hurting sure but I know what I done that day was done with pride.
