Justin and I teamed up again last weekend on this Proweler, which belongs to a good client of mine. The paint condition was actually in very good shape overall, but it did had several moderate scratches scattered thorough out the finish where were deeper than what could be removed with a 1-step polish. At first we were just going to try and spot hit the deeper ones, but after washing and inspecting the finish more closely, it was clear that there was just too many and it made more sense to just go with a full 2-step correction. Total correction achieved from our process was about 90-95%. Process: Wash - Foamed with CGCW and OPC, rinsed, then washed with CGCW. Wheels - CG Diablo Gel and various brushes, polished with Mothers mini power ball and Megs chrome polish Tires - OPC, dressed with Megs Hyper Dressing Suspension comp - OPC and various brushes Clay - Blackfire clay and M34 as lube Paint correction - D300/MF on the GG6 followed by PO85RD/Crimson LC on the Flex PE14 rotary Glass - Megs D120 Exhaust tips - Megs Chrome polish Coating Prep - Foamed with CGCW and OPC, rewashed with CGCW followed by Eraser wipe-down Coating - Optimum Opti-Guard, applied to paint, trim, and wheels. Before pics Owner had several areas with wax/polish splatter or excess in cracks....jokingly I told him I was taking his Porter Cable away from him. Foaming car down Justin doing work on the suspension arms No more beading! Metallic made capturing defect difficult... We got rocking on the D300 to give Justin a head start to where I could followe behind with PO85RD on the rotary Carefully working the 3" and 4" in some tight areas VERY carefully working the front grill with 3" Opt MF pads on the rotary at low rpm's Justin going to town on the wheels Two person application of OG is great!
Finished pics! I also do a polishing and applying of Opti-Guard to a set a BMW wheels for a good friend of the owners. As always, thanks for looking! Rasky
that paint looks awesome in the sun! a meet i went to last summer a group of prowler guys showed up, about 25 of them all at once, it was quite a sight.
Is that the new DI wheel brush that Justin was using on the suspension? If so how does he like it and does he have anything to compare it to?
Thanks Guys! Yep, it's actually my brush and it seems to work pretty well. The bristles are a little stiffer than my other SM Arnold ones though, which is all I have to compare to right now. Both work well really but the DI one is better for the more dirty jobs IMO.
Great work Chad; the Prowler was one of my dream cars as a kid. I still love seeing them every so often.
Nice work, not a fan of the Prowler and never believed they would last but they are different. There's a purple one near me. Great attention to the next level details.
