I did this on a while ago but haven't gotten around to posting it yet. Paint was rock hard on this thing, one of the hardest I've done and I ended up spending more time on it than planned.


Process:

Wash - Foamed with OPC/CGCW followed by 2BM wash and CGCW
Wheels - P21S Gel and various brushes
Tires - OPC, dressed with Hyper Dressing 3:1
Clay - Blackfire Clay and M34 as lube
Initial Correction Step - M105 on the GG6 with Surbuf pads
Intermediate polishing step - D300/MF on the GG6
Finishing Step - 106fa via rotary and Blue LC pads
Exhaust tips - Optimum Metal Polish
Protection - Blackfire Wet Diamond

Several deep RIDS that ran vertically all over the car, this was the worst of them. NOTE: For all of you water blade users out there...let this car be a lesson on why they SUCK!

I stayed away from the panel bend...not worth the risk in sanding.

Nice work, im gonna have to pick up some of those surbuffs one of these days just for trouble cars like this.
 
Excellent work and photography. That thing really was trashed.

Thanks for sharing with us.
 
Awesome work...I like the reflection shots...looks like a mirror!
 
WOW!!! What a mirror finish!!
Insane reflections, I'll bet the customers jaw dropped wide open.
 
Incredible work Rasky.

How much more aggressive is the Surburf/M105 compared to MF/D300?

Thanks guys!

M105/Surbuf isn't a huge difference, but it is noticeable. ;)
