Some serious BLACK paint surgery!! Before and After
Some of you may have saw my thread a few months ago when I posted pics of my swirls and was a complete NOOB when it came to detailing. Original owner must have washed it with SAND PAPER!!
After practicing and detailing for about 12-14 hours on and off I can now say I’m no longer a Noob. However still not an expert haha.
BIGGEST THANKS TO DETAILED IMAGE, WITHOUT THIS GUY I WOULD HAVE STILL BEEN CLUELESS AND WOULD OF STILL HAD SWIRLS AND SCRATCHES ON MY CAR. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!!!!!
I also got some interior products but haven’t had time to detail the interior yet, maybe next weekend.
Here’s what I used for the Exterior, all from Detailed Image.
Lake Country 4 Inch Blue Fine Finishing Pad - 4" 2
Lake Country 4 Inch Orange Light Cutting Pad - 4" 4
Lake Country 4 Inch White Polishing Pad - 4" 4
Lake Country 4 Inch Yellow Cutting Pad - 4" 1
Menzerna Power Gloss - 16 oz
Menzerna Final Polish II (FPII) - 16 oz
Menzerna Intensive Polish (IP) - 32 oz
Blackfire Wet Diamond with Polycharger - 16 oz
Porter Cable 7424XP Random Orbital Buffer
Intensive polish took out about 85 to 90% of the swirls. The power gloss on a yellow pad really helped taking out the deep swirls and scratches.
Here are the 6 steps I did:
1. Wash
2. Claybar (Mother’s Clay bar, didn’t order this I already had it)
3. Menzerna Power Gloss
4. Menzerna Intensive Polish (IP)
5. Menzerna Final Polish II (FPII)
6. Sealant - Blackfire Wet Diamond with Polycharger
HERE ARE THE PICS!! - IGNORE THE POLISH DUST IN SOME OF THE PICS
