Hi folks. I'll keep it short. Friend of a friend brought this in. I'd posted earlier about the dots. Solvent Pop. Owner knew little hx. The holes in the surface made compounding and polishing difficult... especially removing. The material would fill the pits... then get pulled out with either the pad or the fiber. Frustrating..

Here are the details:

Meguiars wheel and tire

Gyeon Iron

Chemical Guys Heavy Black Clay... Nanoskin Medium Mitt... Carbrigt Medium Clay... (was soo frustrated before the solvent pop solution)

Wells got Chem Guys Degreaser and Chem Guys Bare Bones

Meguiars Hyperwash

Blow Dry

Engine and Bay got OPC and spray similar to Trim Shine we get from our local Car Brite guy

BOSS 15 and GG6 and Surebrite with 3" plate and iBrid Nano

BOSS Fast Correcting Cream and BOSS Fast Correcting Pads

BOSS Perfecting Cream LC White Pads

ERASER

Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant

GYEON View

Gyeon Rim

Thanks for viewing

Ryan

Jee, it’s not often I get wow’d by a before and after but I took particular notice of this one due to the sheer extent of the swirl damage and solvent pop on black. Tough gig. Tuned it bang on mate!

How’d you specifically tackle the pop?

Thanks buddy. It's still there. Not a body shop. Lol. Cant fix that without repainting. Suggested the owner do that and he wants to 'trade it' in a year... idk. Was just an odd job. Lol. Thanks for the feedback.

Pics are of the solvent pop after....

Really nice work. We have a 2010 Range Rover sport in santorini black. Color is amazing when clean and polished. Really beautiful job. Phil

Fair call, gotta do what you’re comfortable with.

I’d love to see a wet sand of the panel and application of a product like Optimum Clear Coat Restorer to see what kind of finish can be achieved post pop.

those after shots taking down the sides of the body are awesome. I've been on this site for three years now admiring members work. and I'm always impressed, but I've got to say that work in those pic's rank in the top three. very nice
