Hello friends!
This is a full correction I had to do
But before we start, could you guess the color of this car?
A hint
Another one
A better clue, but guess this part of the ride
This is what I had to do a paint correction on.
No beading, no sheeting, no protection, just water clinging on all surfaces and a flake-off while washing the car…. Permanent damage
Whole car washed using 2BM method, MF washmitt, car shampoo and APC mix, and finally dried with MF towels, all available locally
Claying
Ready for inspection
Feeling blessed! The sun was here! Looking for defects was so easy
Close-up
More…. Too many
The infamous RIDS and Scratches
The side-mirror
Many… many of them….
Textured paint, orange peel, pits and pores, blurriness etc….
More and more
we really know how much you care
& now we are ready for real fun.
The headlights
The right side before
After
The left side before
The afters
To the most sought after part of the ride… paintwork
Tools n equipment:
Compounding: Optimum hyper compound, carpro denim pads, optimum doublesided wool pad
Polishing: menzerna 203s, LC white pad
Finishing: Menzerna PO85rd, LC black and LC Red HT pads
LSP: Menz Powerlock , wipedown with the softest towel (yellow) I had locally
CarPro pads effective but dangerous too.
Voilà !

Saved some sun shots as the sun loves to play with the clouds here

When others envy your ride’s shine, it’s BeyondShine.
My appreciation and thanks go to all of the friends who have helped me with their advice, their detailed posts and instructions, their videos and the hands-on experience from which I learned a lot.
Thanks for viewing, your comments and thoughts are most welcome.
