New client from out of state with a 2016 Macan Turbo. Vehicle was in for paint correction and CQuartz Finest application. Paint was in very good shape, just your typical RIDS here and there. Wheels and calipers were coated too.


Process:

Wash - Traditional Wash with Megs Hyper Wash
Wheels - Sonax Wheel Cleaner Plus & various brushes.
Tires - Cleaned with Megs D143 and Tuf-Shine brush. Dressed with Megs Hyper Dressing 3:1
Paint Prep - Nanos Skin Towel and Glide as lube
Paint Correction -Spot correct with Groit's Fast Correct Cream on the G21 with Griot's Fast MF pads followed by Correcting Cream on yellow BOSS pads. Tight areas done with Rupes LHR75e
Pre-Coating Prep - Eraser wipe down followed by IPA wipe down
Coating - 3 coats CQF, IR Cured
Exhaust - Optimum Metal Polish


As she arrived







Didn't take any real before pics as I was very pressed for time. This was a quick shot of the light RIDS though.


Curing the coating while polishing and coating the wheels and calipers...gotta love that Finest gloss! :)


Wheels coated inside and out


All done. Owner was waiting and I somehow hit a setting on my camera the put it into some auto ISO setting, which was messed up, thus over exposing my shots. :(














Thanks for looking,
Rasky
 
Excellent job! Very thorough. Another new car getting the protection it deserves from the start. :)

Another awesome job.

What brand lift do you have?

Thanks! The one in the picture above is a Direct-Lift Pro6MR. There are several similar lifts which all have the same basic frame. If I were to get another like this one I'd probably go with this Titan lift as they make longer arms for it. I can't lift a Tesla Model S with my Direct-Lift (and likely some other wider cars) because the arms are too short. I sold this one and purchased a new Bendpak SP-7X to flush mount in the new shop/garage currently under construction. ;)

Thank you! :)
 
Beautiful work. Would love a lift like that, the one I use is a two post that makes it tough to get both doors.

Look great Chad! How much extra do you charge for the 3rd coat of CQF?

I don't, unless it requires me buying another bottle. It does add an hour to the job but I just try to use up the whole bottle. ;)
 
Nice work. Another example of some top notch detailing being done on this forum!
 
Very nice thread Chad, simple but direct to the point.
I like the way you shared your judgment of what to-do and process description, ended up beautiful.

Thanks for sharing,

Kind Regards.
