This car has 1350 original miles on it. Engine, interior, wheel wells are in perfect condition.:up :up However the paint sure needed some tender care. I first went to look at the car on 12.31.07. - I explained what I could do to the paint and we agreed that week after the new year I'd polish the car. Well, I haven't heard anything until a couple of days ago ( I thought maybe he didn't like my personality:soscared: ) and I was asked to only polish the rear half of the car. The owner after claying the car was satisfied with how the front half of the car looked. That was fine with me. Today I showed up at 4pm and checked the paint. The rear was definately is worse shape for sure. Not only were the imperfections deeper but it also had a milky layer under my sunlight which didn't show up in the pictures I am at a loss what it was. The rubber molding was also acting weird. Could not get the tape stick to it for anything. The owner is a huge fan of Rejex - that is what was on the car, but I don't know anything about it. Maybe it wasn't applied/removed correctly??? In any case rejex is one tough protectant. At first I had a hard time with sip/op and even Ultra Fina. All of them were hazing up the first panel. Anyways, this is what I did. Sip white pad 1800 rpm Sip white pad flex Ultra Fina flex blue pad Ez Creme Glaze udm white pad ======================================== Zymol will be the protection on it from now on. (He has several jars) About half way into the detail I was told that I was definately coming back to finish the car. He ended up really exited about the finish. :up Not too many pictures I am afraid. But once the car is done, we will take ouside shots. (next Saturday) Before After sip After Ultra Fina Finals - no wax yet My Car While I was waiting for a client the other day (didn't show) I used the time to wash the car. qew Poli Seal udm orange pad Magic Wax udm white pad NL on tires
Well done there tdekany and congrats on the customer compliment :thumb: Look forward to the rest of the pictures of the vehicle :applause:
Looks great Thomas, your ride is superb looking and those rims are so sweet looking, did you use like prep-sol wipe down before going after the vette? maybe it could have help removing some of the rejex that was giving you a hard time working on the finish. It's just my 2 cents. Looking forward on the next time you go after that vette!........:worship:
Thank you guys very much for your kind words. I know the wide wheel look is not everyone's cup of tea. The rear are 18x11 with 275/35/18 tires. Zoom - I didn't use prep sol. Don't have any. I will go back most likely Saturday to finish the car. He also has a new Vette and a Lotus. He found me on the Lotus Forum.
