Well this is my first detail session here in Germany. Upon arrival to my work center I noticed this hood that was hung upon the wall. The hood was a going away gift for a Chief that left a few years ago. Unfortunately it was given to him after his house hold goods were picked up and he was living from a suitcase in the hotel. With no way of bringing this hood back to the U.S. he donated it to the shop. It has been on the wall for a few years I believe and in this time we can see how dirty it is.
I couldn't stand looking at this hood in the shape it was and had to do something about. Today I had the opportunity to give it some TLC.
-Blew all the dust and cobwebs off with an air chuck
-Cleaned up with UWW+
-Clayed with UWW+ and Meguiar's Mirror Glaze blue clay
-Correction with Orange heavy cut 6.5" hybrid, Wolfgang TSR, 3401, speed 4
-Polished with white hybrid 6.5", Wolfgang FG, 3401, speed 5
-Protected with 2 coats of Wolfgang Deep Gloss Liquid seal
-Topped with 1 coat Wolfgang Fuzion
This hood's graphics are painted in, not vinyl
Even after all the dust was blown off with an air chuck.
Didn't have much contamination.
After getting all the crud off there were some minor swirls and scratches.
German combined defect killer!
Punching up the gloss.
Cant really see the normal 50/50 pic of swirls but the gloss has improved here.
Look at that gloss!
What better way to attack this paint here in Germany than a 3401 with Wolfgang products?
:awesome:
