Excellent job. Very difficult to get White paint pristine enough to get it to pop like that. Beautiful when done correctly then the added gloss of the Cq makes it incredible. Great choice on the vehicle for your friend :) Might be nice to list DA, pads and polishes used incase someone else...

The guy everyone mentioned who hand waxes literally by hand is Paul Dalton. He is based out of the same track as Top Gear is filmed. He owns Miracle Detial, you can you tube that or google it. He is one of the worlds premier detailers and works with Rupes, Swissvax, GTechnique, and Modesta...

Bob, Thanks got it, will look into those and see what I come up with. Thanks for all the help, made my life easier without having to do a ton of research finding them. Thanks again

Ok, so basically treat them almost the same as normal CC wheels. Thats at least what I am gathering from all the suggestions. Not got any pics of this paint correction otherwise would do a write up, but just never dealt with the matte before. I usually do my own cars, but last year ran into a...

As I am following, a normal type wheel wax protectant. Don't want to try it, but i guess I could try on the inside of a wheel (taking it off) in a inconspicuous spot, a glass coating to see if it would change the appearance, or how bad, but advice first. Outside paint is about perfect now. But...

I am trying to come up with a coating for these matte Lambo Wheels. They are the matte finish NO clear coat. I typically will coat the rims with a glass coating such as 22ple or Modesta. However I like this matte finish and want to keep it like this but not sure what I can put on these to help...

OP----- Add in Maserati Hard CC not found a soft or medium one yet. Compound------ Flex 3401 (5-6 setting), Meg's Microfiber cutting, Meg D300, Hydro Tech Blue, D300( will leave micro marring which will be taken out with final polish. Polish----- Flex 3401 (3-4 setting) , Hydro Tech...

Great job, MB paint can be great to work with even with the extreme hard clear coat. Looks good

Zack has given you all you need to get it right. I am giving an example for what your customer wants. This does have a coating which enhances the gloss, but had 30 or so hours of polishing on it first. Definitely clay it with a mild clay mitt or pad or bar. Then pending the paint condition the...

From experience using coatings and other items, I will try to help the OP and several other posts that mentioned sealants vs waxes etc.. 1. OP--- You possibly might have gotten the straight line scratches while doing the Coating cleanser. I can say I tried it myself and ran into a ton of issues...

Be careful with the IPA wipedown. I find on black or dark blue cars I will get very faint scratches from the wipedown. It does not matter whether I spray the paint and wipe, or spray the MF and wipe lightly. I still get them. Switched to a damp MF and sprayed it and then lightly wiped, still got...

Very good job on this. Boats can be time consuming but the white helps hide fine marks where the black sections can show a lot. Scratches usually are deeper on boats also. I owned a Velocity Powerboat 42' several years back (hence the name) and it was a pain. Took the time to do some friends...

This is a great thread, here are my additions , some are from the archives... This will be long but all the pics are in one place Shot after the Paint Correction to show the clarity and perfect finishI still love this pic, just can't get over the shot Vintage Jaguar I did the touch up work on...

Here is a teaser of how it was initially. IT was this BAD EVERYWHERE. I think this car has seen over 1k car washes.

Here are two images of a Modesta Glassed Maserati, will have plenty in a actual write up next week

Going to try and answer what I can from all the posts to this thread. I have used both the 22PLE Glass and the Modesta BC-05 products. One on several cars and a first time user on a Maserati QP. Right off the bat I noticed a huge difference with application process. 1. The Modesta Primer...

The Merc (2007) is mine, The Mustang is a 69. Cayenne Turbo S(Owner has to have powwwwweeeeerrr). I guided the owner of the cars in using the FLEX for the first time, and he used it when I wasn't on the NSX with it. It had at least 20 year old paint, CC, that had tons of swirls and scratches...

Great job guys, nice job on the panel behind the seats. So many times people just hand job those and they don't pop as much as yours does. Good job on trying to convince the customer to switch to something more permanent than the Swissvax. Nice wax but gone in no time. Overall Great job and good...

Thanks for the Great Show at Ft Bliss earlier this year. It was really cool for the low flights over the interstate. Got some great pics somewhere with the mountains and the sunset in the background. Thanks for your service, enjoy your time in that position.

Where are my manners, Great job on the detail and congrats on the first payer. Many more will come, and you will refine your techniques along the way. Great choice on the 1 step, looked great.
