Hi all,
would like to share my first time detailing a supercar (killer) here. Hope the rest is coming
Story: this car belongs to an older friend. He used to have evo and sti. this time he bought this car and kinda asked me to come for a spin. I said sure! might as well detail it. I offered a coating package before this car goes to track. So we arranged a day. the cloud was kinda on and off, so no sun shot. the sun went full when i was washing the car though LOL
Process:
started at 10am and finished at 6pm
Ammo:
CG Citrus Wash and Gloss
CG Honeydew
Dewalt 849x
CG V36 with LC CCS Constant Pressure White Polishing Pad
CG V38 with LC CCS Constant Pressure Black Finishing Pad
CG Diablo
CG G6 Hypercoat
Glass Science Glass Scrub
Rain X
Photos:
Some before
Cleaning the emblem
wheels too
foam wash!
drying with giant ww towel
blowdrying gas cap
claying the hood. not bad.
polishing with V36 and white pad
finishing with black pad and V38
checking the work with Aquartz LED lamp
it was hard to capture defect on a pearlescent white paint. here is the best shot i got.
application of ArtDeSicko Silica Coating. It is a hybrid coating the provides up to six months durability. not the best in durability department, but you can't simply beat the wet look and depth it gives.
wheels got coated too
wiping the coating off the wheel. it is kinda an oily substance. you feel like applying olive oil on the paint. when you wipe it off, it streaks for 3-4 seconds and the streaks vanish. i guess it's just the characteristic of it. you can simply top it off with another layer immediately or play with wax.
final result
thanks for checking out and sorry for no reflection/outside shot, i had no sun showing up and the street was really occupied.
