Deep Gloss Auto Salon: Accord Coupe in Black Pearl
Deep Gloss Auto Salon
6 Speed Honda Accord Coupe in Night Hawk Black Pearl
This is one of my favorite colors to detail.. First of all it is black which in my opinion is the most rewarding color to detail add to that the blue flake which makes the transformation even more rewarding. If the customer purchased the car used and swirled and is not knowledgeable about the color, chances are they will think it is just an average black.
Ok, on with the show…
The vehicle was washed prior to my beginning the detail so none of my signature foaming…lol
This was the vehicle before I touched it… doesn’t look to bad when not in the sun right…
Note that it does appear to be a straight black vehicle - no blue shining through.
First up was claying….. Gray clay with Optimum No Rinse as the clay lube. Below are pics. Each one of the pictures is after only one panel. As you can see, there was a substantial amount of bonded contaminants.
Here are some before pictures of various panels that display the condition of the paint work. As you will see, the condition of the clear coat throughout all panels left much to be desired.
As you can see, the clear coat was riddled with swirls, marring and scratches. This car had been re sprayed on some panels as was evident by the paint tape line in the inner door well. As we have all witnessed, the body shop sealed in the existing damage to the paint when they resprayed. (tsk, tsk). Luckily they only resprayed one side of the vehicle.
As you saw above, no fancy photography was needed to display the inclusions. Using all sources of lighting (Halogen, LED, Xenon, Sun Light and flash from the camera) all show the damage.
