'65 Cobra: Exterior correction (D300 MF)
This is another classic car that my mentor just picked up. He's running it at the auction this week and he called me up last minute to see if I could give the paint a little help. The catch being that the car was already at the auction sitting in lane one, cleanliness and speed were an important factor, and I had one evening to get it done. I normally don't detail during the week as I have a full time job too, but for a good friend I didn't mind making an exception...plus it was a cool car.
Detailing off site, especially at a place were a bunch of car jockeys can come by and interrupt your work is not something I like doing. I also don't like packing up all my stuff and it seems like you always find a need something you didn't pack.
I left work a little early to pack up all my gear. I got started on the car around 4:30 and finished at about 10:30.
Process:
-ONR wash
-Light claying
-D300 via PCXP with 5" MF pads, tight areas with the 3"
-M205 via rotary with white LC pads
-Gtechniq P2 via PCXP with Cyan LC pads.
-Blackfire Wet-Diamond via PCXP blue LC pad
This paint was actually a nightmare to work on. The D300 left a very noticeable haze/marring but it was the only product I had that cut remove the defects without generating a lot of dust. I had to clear up the haze with M205 on a polishing pad, and then I followed up with P2 to ensure there were no holograms and to amp up the gloss. The paint was very scratch sensitive and new DI Great White towels were used on the finishing steps and wax removal.
Because of time pics are very limited, I was also exhausted and hungry so the last thing I wanted to do was take pics.
Before condition:
These were his main concern...D300 knocked them out after a couple passes.
After
Thanks for looking,
