Instead of making new threads every other week when I detail another Mid-A vehicle I decided to create one thread and just bump it when necessary. This will be that thread. Welcome. Enjoy your stay.

Method:
-ONR Wash exterior and all jams
-Griot's Clay the entire car
-1z intensive polish with Uber Orange Pad
-Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover with Uber Green Pad
-ONR Wash to remove all dust
-Menzerna Power Lock Sealant
-Trim dressed
-Stoner's Invisible Glass Used

Initially the customer and I agreed to one step of polish and the sealant. However, after starting on the car I decided that the car needed some more intense correction.

Before:







Dull faded paint and headlights


Swirls:




Paint Damage:
It looks like someone attempted some wet sanding and then realized they were in over their head.


Scuff on passenger rear quarter:


Car Cleaned and clayed. Now we can see what condition the paint really is in.

This picture summarizes the entire car. Every panel looked like this.

 

Continued...



50/50 - Corrected paint looks much deeper.


Hood Done -




Afters:




Wetsanding Corrected:




Scuff on rear quarter corrected:


Headlights rejuvenated:

 

Front Fender Corrected:


All jams (doors, hood, trunk) cleaned


Reflections:










This detail took me ~15 hours in total. I think the paint came out great and really brought the car back to life. The owner seemed happy with the job.

FYI, NoVA members shoot me a pm if you're interested. I'm always looking for some side work.

 

U got some ****n skillz man.

 

if u ever come down to sova holla @ me!

 

Come on up and drop your car off for a few days.

 

Gotta get back man.

 

You do some awesome work. How much does this cost? Not that my car is worth much to clean, or that I would have the extra $$$ for it, but I am just curious. If you don't want to post it it's no biggie. Car looks great though.

 

It is not an S2K, so it is irrelevant.
