hi guys here are pictures of a work i did on my mate's w124 this car had just been through a "premium" detailing job at on of the big car salon franchises the week before paint correction was done using Scholl S17 on 3M wool pad then followed up with Scholl S17 on megs 8006 then finished with Scholl S40 on Lake County black (CCS) all the cleaning was done using dilluted Simple Green APC and an assortment of run of the mill brushes claying was with Megs detailer's clay using OCW as lube LSP was 2 coats of 845 applied back to back (to ensure even coverage) and a layer of OCW applied the next morning sorry i didnt take the interior pics due to time constraints total time taken 14 hours examples of the initial paint condition some before afters of the hood the trunklid after correction some corrected shots of the doors reflection shots note: the wet laundry are there for descriptive purposes LOL and a couple blurred images that i like, note to self : get better lenses and a good tripod hope u enjoyed it, thanks for viewing regards, Bob
bstp, very nice and big improvement over the other detail shop. Your friend must be pleased. How would you describe the results of using OCW over Colli 845?
hi there Bri thanks for the compliments Mate anyway i started using ocw because of the fact that my car is spruce green, i normally like the look of sealants but on my car, the hard candy look from the collinite alone made the color look just a tad too "pale" for me, so i tried ocw, as per Gianni's advice. The ocw over 845 made the color looked like ure using a warmer filter over your camera's lens, and it also add a bit more "wetness" ton top of the deep gloss i get from 2 coats of 845, hope u get my poor description mate. On my car i top 2 coats of 845 with like 5 coats of ocw, and i like how it looks and how cost effective it is, not to mention how fast it is to apply. regards, Bob
o one more thing, there's also a lil downside of topping 835 with ocw. ocw seem to alter the 845 signature beading characteristics, the beads seem to get a tad bigger than they were before
Nicely Done BSTP, makes me wanna try that OCW even more, are you using the same methods applied to this W124 for finishes detailing? Man, wanna start re polished my USS Ent all over again with that DK method finishing 845 top with OCW... Anyway, I like your B2B shoot of Blue Black and Malachite green reflection effect. Combination of 2 artwork of yours in 1 shoot. Thumbs up Bro!!!
@Domino : its always nice to meet a kindred spirit , Mate! i had an uncle who used to have a 500E back when this country was ruled by a dictator, haha, seriously though, that car was unbelievably fast, I dont know wheter its because of my age at the time , but i think i'd still sell a limb to be able to have one @IYO: Thanks for the gratuitous compliment, but I'm still just a novice mate, still learning everyday. btw, i think its about time that u post up your work here too
btw IYO, I had the luxury of discussing your question about polishes for u to use with some of the Gurus here at DB, BBM me when u got a spare time, we'll discuss it
