Had a chance to detail friend's Bright Red 1997 Toyota Celica over the weekend. Since I only had 5 hours block of time I asked my friend to wash the car prior coming to my house so I can go straight to paint correction. :xyxthumbs:
Because of the limited time and the car was going to be put on the market, I planned to just do 1-step paint correction.
So the car arrived in the morning. The paint condition wasn't too bad, with some swirls all over and RIDS here and there. When the car arrived it was covered in light dust, so I used UWW+ to clean.
I proceeded with decontamination using Bilt-Hamber clay and lubed with Meg's Last Touch 1:1
For paint correction I decided to test combination of LC orange pad & Meg's Color-X on Bosch GEX150 turbo (forced rotation machine like Flex 3401).
Turned out to be good combo, the paint seems to be relatively soft so is responding well on test spot. This is the result after 4 slow section passes:
Not perfect, but definitely a big improvement.
(Sorry no before picture of the car, but that was pretty much the paint condition throughout the whole car)
Happy with this combo, I then proceeded to do the whole car including the head lights and taill lights, switching to Meg's UC on more stubborn defects.
The paint was then sealed with Meg's UPW applied on black LC pad, and plastic trims treated with Meg's UP.
Here is the result after 5 hours of work:
Thanks for reading!
