No, I did not wetsand. This is Lexus Obsidian (Obscene) Black paint.
It's a very finicky paint to correct & polish & have it look crystal clear.
Every inch of the vehicle was covered in tons of swirls and holograms.
It looked like the prior "detailer" added lots of holograms to the swirls!
I really could not believe how bad/trashed it was when it came in.
The finished product even AMAZED me! It looked like a black mirror!
I always expect a few rock chips and deep scratches. There were none.
It came out better the showroom new. It looked almost totally flawless.
NOTE: The outside pictures were taken before the sides were polished.
You can see swirls/holograms in the fenders. *Pics before LSP applied.
These iPhone pictures do not do the before/after justice.
WIP: Still lots more to go...shooting for perfection.
Top of trunk done...still have the sides to do.
Instead my suburban garage will have to do.
