I'm back with another one. This is one of my co-workers. About 3 months ago, I applied Collinite 845 just to have some protection on it. Its a garage queen, and he wanted to make it black and shine like a garage queen should. He told me it was dusty, but i thought it would be a thin layer. I was wrong. So here we begin.
I didnt have any interior pics because there wasnt much to do inside.
Exterior:
Dawn Soap
Mothers Clay
M105/D300
M205
IPA
Optimum Tire Gel
MF Pads
White/Blue Pads
PC7424 XP
Total Time: 16 Hours
Upon arrival, this is what it looked like
Water spots just about everywhere
Water spots and swirls
After we washed it down, we could really see what we were working with. You can definitely tell this car has been neglected. He bought the car and only washed it once himself, and I've been the only person to wash it. But I didnt notice it this bad as it was late the last time I started.
You know its bad when you can see the swirls through the water. This is before i soaped it down, atleast Collinite's beading looked good right?!
I dont have as many 50/50 shots because we were limited on time. Actually, we did this together after work, so we would work 7-5, come home and detail until about 830 for 4 nights. I ended up going home and detailing a few nights until 1AM because I knew we wouldnt be done in time before Friday came along. But heres the 1 50/50 I did happen to get.
After compounding the whole hood
Clarity Restored
Pulled it out into the sun to inspect our correction. You can see the holograms from the D300/M105/MF Pad combo.
Polished everything out using a white lake country with M205
Optimum Tire Gel Applied
Once again, pulled it out into the sun to inspect how our polishing stage was. Sooo much better. I must say, this Chevy Clear was a pain in the @$$!! We achieved about 75-85% correction. But from what it looked like before, and now, is night and day.
Did an IPA Wipe on the whole car before applying Collinite 845. Thin thin thin!
And now the money shots. I didnt get to take day pictures because it was about 9 at night when I finished, but my friend had a wedding to go to the following day, so he snapped some pictures. Let me know what you guys think. Enjoy!
