Black Maserati GT , correction

[Cosmin]

i start with wheels p21s gel , meguiar`s m40 on tires.
next was interior d181 did a great job again , you can see the dirt from leather on the mf towel.

the paint was full of buffer marks, swirls and stain here and there.

the car is daily driver , by client request get the best out of 1 step, so don`t get too extreme on it.
i usually get 205 , but i went with sip and 205 mix on hex polish pad and flex da.\
opti-seal and blackfire wd was the protection. total time 12 hours... i run into few issues with opti-seal
After:

few sun shots from next day:

Absolutely stunning finish!! rops:

That design has so much going for it.....

I was in Newport RI last Sunday and went slowly by a Maserati GT convertible, what a gorgeous car. A darker blue with buckskin leather interior....drooling as I went by of course..

Great work as usual. I am moving to Round Rock next week and was just wondering if the issue you had with the Opti-Seal was due to the heat?

Very nice work. I may pick up the opti seal for 1 steppers for the neighbors.

Cosmin has attended at least two GTG's I've attended and it's always fun to talk to him as he's very passionate about the detailing craft... this was taken at the GTG in San Antonio, Texas last summer...

Thank`s Mike , i plan a trip in europe in oct, but most likely in nov i may be in Florida for few days, i will def get in touch with you when i know for sure, i bet will be fun!


About Opti-seal ... well on this project i spend extra 4 hours then what i plan for. was just unexpected , i get unexpected projects every once every 6 months, most of them are on flat black car or when i switch products than what i usually go with.
in this case i use sip mix with 205 as 1 step, insted of only 205 for 1 step. anyway .. back to opti-seal .. it haze like crazy , and not sure if was because i use a dif sprayer and it may oversaturated the pad or was high humidity outside , and also heat condition too.
i use os for a year now , and i know it haze if is oversaturated or if i don`t follow with mf towel , but this time was out of control. and is what you need after 10 hours of work...
i left the haze on the car and just follow over it with bfwd 1 coat and to my surprise when i remove bfwd the surface was clean , no haze at all.
