    Recently completed @ the shop, a very rough Carrera S. All the issues you could want RIDS,holograms, fallout, and dried out trim.

    Wheels blew out a new clay bar!! with all the embedded brake dust

    Correction was acheived, now I could move to finer polishing steps

    [​IMG]

    The bumper had been re-sprayed and badly, severe shrinkage

    [​IMG]

    High speed wool rotary compounding(3000 rpm) was needed

    Besides normal cleaning and degreasing I also had to let loose with the steamer

    What did you use on the trim, Bob? I have had a couple P cars that even after two hits of TRV, Were still faded.

    Well five applications of GI TRV.............. and the last one you need to not wipe it down but just apply it and leave it alone.

    Fantastic job!

    Did you polish that entire car with just a PC? I wonder how long that took.

    I might have.............. no not really, combo of rotary and PC(lol).

    Its a myth that polishing with a pc takes sooooooo much longer than a rotary. With the right pad/polish combo, it only adds a little time to the process. I use my pc quite a bit these days.
