Hey guys,

Been forever since I posted a detail thread on here... kind busy

But enjoy!

Car was pretty trashed and my friend and I were going to do a 2 step correction.

We used POLISHANGEL MASTER COMPOUND on Rupes 15 with the Master Compound Cutting pad and on a Flex Rotary with a yellow LC pad

Next we finished the surface with POLISHANGEL ESCALATE on a red hydro tech pad and a rotary buffer.

Finally we applied PALM BALM by PC and red pad

Next we applied a layer of MASTER SEALANT and then a layer of FAMOUS Carnubaflake wax.

Thanks for the read :)
 
looks fantastic! can't wait to get my flex pe14 as I am tired and ready to retire my dewalt 849
 
Thanks guys!

The PE-14 is such a beautiful machine. The Festool is also a great one, but I am sticking with my Flex til she dies (which is going to be a long time from now)

Hey buddy. You have gone MIA! Glad to see you posting again.

The car look incredible! I'm looking forward to some of that Polish Angel and a PE14 when I get to Germany. That rotary is a dream to use.
 
Beautiful work indeed. The car looks amazing. What was the total time invested in the turnaround? Thanks for posting and sharing.
 
Some high end stuff here. Great work.
 
Hey thanks a million guys!

Total time was roughly 11.5 hours. We budgeted 10 hours for the job, so not much over! Car was in worse shape after wash, not to mention wheels were never cleaned (this was on 09') so even four shots of wheel acid didnt get them 100%. But other than that we got here looking a lot better. Roughly 80-90% correction.
 
Nice work! What were they washing it with previously?!

What's the white car next to it?

The car was bought from a 24 year old kid and I dont know to be honest. Washed out at least 4-5 pounds of gravel from it. This guy knows how to wash and I sold him some stuff to go with it and use with what we put on it. I have confidence it wont get to this state again!

Good eye on the car next! Its actually a 600awhp S4 Audi (98 I want to say). And there was a Ducatti 1098 and a full expedition read Land Cruiser/Lexus LX470 too! Guys loves cars!
 
Awesome work Andrew! Very nice results! :dblthumb2:

It is sickening that people buy beautiful cars and abuse and neglect them. I love that Armorall commercial where they take the car away from the owner for neglect, that should have happened to the previous owner of this GTR. Nice work.
 
Great work andrew
Quick question what backing plate and pads were you using on the pe14?
