    Another Car Wash Fix - 2010 Genesis

    The owner of this car contacted me through my facebook page after being referred by others in the area. He let his girl friend borrow the car for a day and she thought she would do him a favor and get the car washed at a local car wash.

    He wanted the black portions of the car fixed in time to go to the Cars & Coffee down outside of Allentown for the weekend. I did a correction on the black areas, and after some additional paint work the car will be coming back in a few months for a full paint correction and protected with CQuartz Finest.


    Picture just after being dropped off of the hood


    This is what one trip through a car was can do to your car


    Picture of the nose cone and front section of the hood. It is covered in swirls and scratches most likey from being dried with a dirty towel


    50/50 shot after I decided on my combination


    3/4 of the hood is compounded. The top corner where the lights are has not been done yet. Notice how flat and hazy the paint looks


    How black should look after being compounded and polished

    I originally just did a waterless was of the black areas that I was working on, but the owner requested to do a basic exterior on the rest of the car for the show that weekend.


    Getting ready for the wash

    More dirt build up on the driver door

    Brake dust build up from the performance brakes


    Cleaning up the wheels and tires


    Freshly washed and protected with Amerisplash






    Wheels protected with Hydr02 and tires dressed with PERL


    Great reflective shot of the corrected black portion of the hood

    Thanks for looking!

    Awesome on the black! And just one car wash caused all those swirls?!

    I don't think it was so much the wash that did it, but possibly the person using a crusty towel to dry the nose of the car. That is what I am guessing happened.
