Finally Ive got a chance to fix and compile all these photos.. it took me a good 4 days, to finish cause I had to do a lot of intricate detail and touch ups since the car has some rock chips that formed rust and I had to grind up with dremel and touched it up with POR150 since the car is black anyways because touch-up OEM paint will just chip off.. and this is her daily driver and she wants to maintain the car and make it look pretty at the same time.. Maintanance: Removed front wheels to clean inside out -degreased wheel wells and wiped and sprayed with undercoating -wire brushed all suspension and degreased and dried and coated the caliper with 3 silver caliper paint and 3 layers clear coat. -Dried and coated the wheel wells with some old liquid wax to add shine and protection WASH -Foamed the car with CG citrus -Rinse then Washed again with MF wash mit with 2 bucket method and grit guard Clay -CG ligh clay with CG luber and Eagle one QD - had so much contaminants and about worked the clay up 4x Wash -CG citrus wash mit with 2 bucket method and grit guard -Dried with CG MF fluffer Inspected the car and had a lot of oxidation, light to heavy swirlmarks, rock chips, rust so it was time for IP with this job Polish -Menzerna IP with yellow 7.5" LCC (i didnt get my 5.5" yet so I had to use this pad) -Menzerna FP with white 7.5" LCC QD the whole car to wipe all the extra polish dust -CG eazy creme glaze applied and buffed by hand -CG JetSEAL 109 hazed and applied very thin layer and applied buffed by hand -Actually waited the car to cure for 24 hours just to be safe.. LSP -QD the whole car -BLITZ wax applied and buffed by hand -Cured the car for another 24 hours -P21S second coat to fill in areas uncovered and give extra wet and glossy look YUCKY YUCKY.. WOW... HARDWORKING BREAK and my friend came over brough over his old school PENTAX SLR and some russian camera .. very nice... BEADING on wax Reflection
I'm impressed....I see a lot of work went into what you did...and it showed...car looks great.... the owner got a new looking car.... Great Job AL
Jeeeeezzz.....that car was hammered. Good turnaround, I especially like the shot of the clay. I have a friend whose civic is just as bad if not worse.
trying hard man.. thanks Yes.. I wanted to do it right and make sure the car gets maintained and seal it from further rust... Thanks .... yes indeed.. i took my time and planned it right.. she is very happy.. Thank you sir!!! Yep. Thank you.. I take pride on my work.. You telling me.. lots of hours, days put in to where it is now.. I dont believe people that say oh yeah i can detail for 3 hours with paint correction and get the same result..and this is my second detail.. Yes thank you.. im glad i can detail this wonderful car....
wow now that's detailing :applause: :applause: The vehicle looks great and your attention to detail is very, very impresive well done :thumb: By the way I like your format of images, very nice :thumb: What a turn around on this vehicle and from that Clay bar that vehicle had some serous contamination :shakehead: Well done and thank you for taking the time to share with us eace:
Thank you sir.. you guys are my inspiration after seeing everybody's work here, i had to follow your footsteps slowly and surely... im still working on the format but i think it looks good.. Clay bar really suprised me.. i didnt expect to see that... but after the clay, car was nice and smooth...i ran out of CG luber so I had to use Eagle one QD which is awesome for its price..
Oh don't be so modest Usjmtuner that is one heck of a detail, no jooke. That's what detailing is all about as for the format, I enjoyed it. The nice thing with format's/write ups is that you never stop learning how to improve them...thanks to the UK boys at Detailing World I borrowed there format and that's how I do my write ups..but like I said you always learn a new trick here and there to improve and that's what life is all about, improving and how to be a better person/detailer :thumb:
you guys can call me, Misael or Mel whichever ... im definitely getting the hang of it and like everybody else here, im passionate with what I do and take is one step at a time.... I love the support that I get here and how everybody helps and encourages each other.. THANK YOU!!!
Thanks :headbang: I cant wait for my next detail job... I wouldnt have the motivation if it wasnt for this forum..
