The vehicle was in quite rough shape before, nothing too serious but this paint was extremely hard. Whipped out the heavy arsenal Microfiber Cutting Pad with M105, and jeweled the paint to a mirror finish.

Before

As usual they look good form far.


Until you get up close.


More swirling.


That's trouble!

During



SV Wheel Brush doing work!


Almost gleaming clean.


After washing.


After IronX and ready for claying.




Fresh rare bar of ricardo yellow.


After just the hood.


Time for polishing action.




50/50, so much gloss and correction just just a compounding step.


Night and day difference.


Just a few deeper marks left but overall great result.


Not as dramatic, but still mint!


Rear compounding complete.


Love these small pads, but they are nearly one time use...




Water spots gone after a nice metal polish.


Good to go battle the beast.


Kidneys cleaned. (Before)


After.

After



New car standards.


Mint-ness!


Ughh... forgot the exhaust tip covers in the pictures.


Reflections to die for.




Remember the before?




The perfection is in the reflection.

Thanks for looking.

 

Very nice!!

 

Nice job, I love that color... especially after being taken care of like you did.
