A friend asked me to give his car a once over. He'd bought it and the supplying dealer ad tried to sort out the paint. Errrr, right. Subsequently, a scratch on the front wing was fixed, and another local bodyshop reckoned the paint was unsalvageable and parts would need a full repaint.
Naturally, I love a challenge, so the gauntlet was thrown down. Not many pics, but this will hopefully gove you an idea.
Steps taken;
Washed and clayed. Meguairs shampoo and Bilt Hamber soft clay
Correction. Using a mix of Rupes Bigfoot and 3M rotary. Cutting pads from Rupes Zvizzer and 3M and polishing and finishing pads the same companies.
LSP. Collinite fleetwax on paintwork and Gyeon wet coat on the wheels. Megs endurance gloss on the tyres
Befores;
During the correction, polish and refine stages;
Not many decent afters, but hopefully you'll get the idea;
I know it might not look it , but this was a good 2 day sort out of some truly terrible paint. We avoided a visit to the body shop and my friend was chuffed with the results. That's all that matters really. :thumb:
