Hi guys, this is my first writeup on a car I did. I'm still a newbie at the whole detailing thing, but lurking the forums I've learned a lot. Anyways, on to the car.
This car belongs to a friend of mine and was kind enough to let me use his car as my "guinea pig" or my first real detailing. In exchange he's bought me more compound, pads, towels etc. Car is a 1998 Honda Civic that has been repainted with a single stage orange metallic. Car was horribly oxidized and had bad water spots etched into the finish. I did a two step with M105/M205 and it turned out awesome.
Wash:
-Dawn ultra concentrate
Clay:
-Clay Magic Blue fine clay
Paint correction:
-PC 7424xp
-M105 w/ LC Yellow and LC Hydrotech Cyan Pads
-M205 w LC hydrotech Tangerine pad
LSP:
-Blackfire Wet Diamond
Time for pics:
When it was brought to me
Water spots and oxidation:
Under halogens:
Claying:
Ready to start correcting
Some 50/50s
Scratch on front bumper:
After:
I'm really amazed at how M105 does with kitty scratches:
Before:
After:
And some Final shots:
If you notice, the glass is not done, my friend didn't want me to touch the glass he was going to do something with them along with new headlights.
