To prepare for the Virginia Beach meet that was earlier today, Erik (erk1983) asked me to detail his car for him…so I worked on it Thursday night. This car belonged to Kash (R4Life) before Erik bought it last year. Anyway, the car is in pretty good shape but it definitely needed a good detailing. It had some pretty heavy swirls and oxidation, especially on the hood, roof, and trunk and the paint was just dull in general. Heres some pics of before and after the detail…..

Thanks guys :)

The process was:

-Remove the rest of the pinstripe (on the right side)

-Wash

-Polish with 1Z Einszett Paint Polish (medium cut)

-Polish with 1Z Einszett Metallic Polish (light cut)

-Wax with Collinite #845 Liquid Insulator Wax

-Wolfgang Black Diamond on tires

-303 Aerospace Protectant on trim

All this was done with the Porter Cable orbital buffer, I was able to get about 90-95% of the swirls out and pretty much all of the oxidation

Wow, great makeover! My car is in similar condition if not worse and was considering a new paint job. But after seeing your results, I'm going to give polishing a try.

That's a lot of paint on the pads.
