Hey guys.....so i get a call from my kid brother a few weeks back telling me his Girls car got hit in front of there house....front bumper backed into by a neighbor....we discussed it and dicided who should fix it (its a 1 year old BLACK Mazda 6)....a few days go by and i get another call....she was at a light in the city and some dude rearended her and pushed her into the car in front of her.....nothing terrible but now the car needed 2 bumpers and a drivers fender.....we set it up to go to the shop i work in here and there since they do KILLER work....i told them that I would finish the car so once it was done to call me.... i got the call this week that it would be ready on wednesday....so i made plans with my brother to meet me at the shop on Thursday......i got there at about 8:00 ish and he wasnt scheduled to be there until about 3 so i got started without him and when he got there we teamed up.... they had replaced both bumpers and repaired the fender as well as blacking out all emblems, Grille, and the stock wheels.... Wash=Megs Hyperwash with a splash of ONR for good measure 2BM with grit guards microfiber wash mitts LA Awesome 1:1 for the wheel wells and jambs Clay Megs Blue clay lubed with last touch Wet sand fresh paint as needed with 3M 1500 and 2000 W/D paper using the wash water as a lube Compound the wetsanded areas of the car using 3M Microfinishing Compound on a Megs Cutting pad Via my Flex 3403 @ 1500 Polish the entire car with Menz SIP on a Megs Polish pad @1500 Via Flex 3403 Polish the entire car with 106FA or FF i forget which one i used Via a Megs Finish pad on my Megs G110 wiped car down with Alchohol/Water between each step washed car with the same combo of soap & ONR as earlier dry using MF towels wash jambs lightly applied Autoglyms Super Resin Polish and then since we were out of time rather than extra shine protection (takes forever to dry fully) we have it a coat of Poorboys EX-P sealant Rain-X on the windows and gave the interior a quick wipedown....we were out of time since it was 9:30pm and the shop was closing up....(a bigh thanks for hanging around while we worked) my brother took the car home and used it until this morning when he came by my house so we could finish the interior and add another coat of sealer so it was safe through the rest of the winter.... the interior was simple.... Vaccum with shop vac wipe all surfaces and some seat stains with Megs APC @10:1 and 5:1 for the heavy dirt Widows done with Spayway as per owners choice NO dressing whatsoever on the interior plastics..... Megs Hyperdressing straight up on the tires..... so after all of this on to the after pics... Before-not many as my camera died again.... after Hood-dont mind the small chips as the aim here was not perfection and to keep paint work to a minimum..... fender that was painted-the painter did a great job on matching the peel and i played with it to get it just right....you really cant tell it was painted.... so after some new parts and some hard work on our part my brothers GF has a hot looking car that gets looks no matter where it is....people seem to love the all black look....and the whole thing didnt cost her a dime thanks to the Body shop hooking her up and not charging her anything to paint all the extras....Thanks Lou and Carlo from New Security.......
Great detail. It looks awesome. I never was a fan of all black but I think you changed my mind. Well, On this one anyway. It's to black not to like. Great write up as well. I really enjoy write ups and the story behind them. You did a super job...:thumb::thumb::thumb:
