Hey guys, heres another detail. Car was in pretty rough shape and had some major swirls but got it looking good again. Here are the pictures.

When it arrived











Clay bar removed lots of brake dust around the wheel well area



After the clay bar I gave the car a thorough wipedown with isopropyl acohol to remove any oils or dust to see what was underneath. You might not like the next few pics...









Using my fenix tk10 to show swirls and the flake in the paint



After shot using same light source



50/50 shot, Right side down after 1 step, still needs a finishing polish to remove hazing



Didnt get many during pictures but here is the end result, swirl free




Wheel in door reflection













Thats my car hiding in its car cover in the back







Thanks for looking!

 

damnnnn that was bad lol

 

Nice work as always

 

looks good...Mine needs it pretty bad as well.

 

Dang, now you can see all the dents.
And youre deff doing my Dubwagon. Hopefully you can get rid of the oxidation.

Then the Fit will follow.

 

great job

looks good

 

Yeah now that the reflection is much more clear you can see all the dents I only saw one major dent which appeared to be a door ding on the drivers side door.

Im sure ill be able to get rid of the oxidation on the VW. They have a tough clear coat compared to Honda's which make correction on them alot harder, but theyre also usually in better shape since they dont swirl as easily. Hondas get swirled if you look at them the wrong way...


Thanks for all the compliments.

 

Excellent work! My fit is only a few weeks old, but I am sure I will be calling upon your services in the future since you are local. Those SSR wheels look amazing on that GD! I still wonder if I could pull off a 15" on my GE?

 

wow that's delicious! Me next me next! heh

 

what are you guys using... i really wanna detail my swirly rock chipped pos....

 

Most rock chips will need to be wet sanded. Then buffed out with an aggressive polish followed by a mild polish.

For swirls any polish depending on the condition will work. You will need an orbital buffer though. Polishing by hand wont remove anything.

 

Nice work as always! What products/steps did you use for this car? I think I see a Menzerna bottle but not sure what it is?

 

Car was washed with Chemical guys CWC. Cleaned wheels and tires with optimum power clean. Car was clayed using meguiars mild clay and optimum no rinse diluted 1:10 with pure de-ionized water as clay lube. After that it was wiped down using 91% isopropyl acohol then went to polishing. Started out with Menzerna SIP on an orange pad and finished with Menzerna 106fa on a white pad.

Did another alcohol wipe down after polishing to give the sealant a better surface to bond too. Sealed it off with meguiars #21 left to cure for about half an hour. Followed with a coat of meguiars #26. Followed with another coat of optimum car wax which is a spray wax. Helps removed any previous sealant/wax residue I mightve missed. When that cured about half an hour later I gave the car a wipe down using FK 425 to remove any dust it gathered from sitting in my garage and remove any residue I mightve missed.

Adams V.R.T. was used for the tires. Optimum power clean and FK 425 was used on the door jambs. Stoners invisible glass for the windows. Also used FK 425 as a sealant for the windows, they bead up water and roll off like crazy.

Total time on this car was about 6 hours.

 

looks way better now. i need a full detail on my fit.
