From Pink to Red, restoring a lil' beauty in red

[zckid]

Hello friends


Bringing to you an enhancement on a pink ride, transformed to a beauty, to a lil' red ride.

Letting the pics speak

Before

After a thorough wash.... familiar scene

Tackling the bonded contaminants

Inspection of defects... oxidated paint and swirled

Pink panther show

look carefully

101 dalmatians and less ​

Correction underway

Cutting thru' the single stage paint, no clear coat

becoming alive again

Beauty restored

Before

After

Severe oxidation

Corrected

More defects

Corrected, with a deep reflective shine left

OMG!

All done with a little and a lot of pasion, patience and prayers :bigups

Getting more of the 101 dalmatians, the reflection is the stone wall on the side

the other side, pink panther's nation

Correction underway

The hood

a little better

Refining further, jewelling with old skool, the good ol' M80

majestically yours​

with the glare

The roof

mirror mirror

Hydrophobically yours too

time to say goodbye with some lovely red shine

Thanking Almighty for making another detailing adventure possible

Your thoughts and comments are most welcome as always. Thanks for reading

cheers

That red glows!

What type of car is that, I see the Toyota badge but that's not something we get here.

Nice work bringing that single stage paint back alive...keep up the good work

Wahoo! Someone else that likes using a rotary polisher! :bowdown:

What nice work and that red glows again! Single stage paints require a slightly different approach and they're softer too. Choosing the right buffing pad and polish can really cut through all the oxidation leaving a fresh surface to protect and admirer.... rops:

Nice work and documentation Zaid! :dblthumb2:

:dblthumb2:Zaid that's a FANTASTIC recovery there buddy! :dblthumb2:

The ol' Toyota single stage red. Love seeing that brought back to life, just love it!

Now grab a bottle of the new Mothers exterior trim cleaner on that faded black vinyl/plastic trim and give it a good scrub, then some UTTGP and she'll be brand new again. rops:

thanks for your encouraging words friends, most cherished :dblthumb2:

You are right Bobby, I got going with the least aggressive but effective combo - the mild cutting n high finishing ability of the menz 203s wth the wool pad using the zenith technique.

I then refined with good old M80 with LC black pad

finished with collinite 476s for a little protection :dblthumb2:

actually the detail was meant as a presale investment.... now :nomore: it's a long term investment. my buddy started loving it really, there's a little paintwork to do on the plastics
