Well, yet another black Japanese car for me to polish. Seems like all cars are black nowadays, which is fine, because the results look that much better when they are finished. The car was repainted last year and the owner wanted to sharpen the paint up, and see it at its full potential again. Most of the defects were light, except a few areas that had some RIDS that were a lost cause for the most part. I saw many paint flaws while inspecting the paint as I went, showing the owner what was left by the body shop, which he was not impressed with for other reasons anyways. The Process was kept pretty simple, a mixture of a rotary and DA, using a few polishes as I went along, trying out different combos. The majority of the correction was the same. Pre soaked with APC 4to 1 Washed with Werstat Auto Body Wash using an Uber sponge and 2BM Dried with Showroom FX WW towel Clayed with Exclusive Blue, which left marring, but it was light and with the amount of overspray was needed Polished with SIP, PF, UCCL, and green and yellow GI pads Rotary was used on 2/3 of the car, with some areas light enough for a DA Sealed with Werkstat Prime Strong Wheels sealed with AJT and exhaust polished with Optimum Metal polish and Steel wool. Both of these were done by the owner. No Befores as it was spitting outside, just during and afters. General condition of the paint 50/50 Mirrors had no shine, none whatsoever. That had to get fixed Before After some correction Hood polished Outside, Finally some sunshine Wheels looking better with AJT The camera shot Exhaust looking better My regulatory under the spoiler shot. That’s about it, thanks for looking.
great job! I know what you about repaints, but as usual, the owners are esctatic with a good paint correction.
