M0nk3y Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 This is my favorite hobby. Thought I'd share it with you guys. This was done a couple weeks ago. Car has been severely neglected from any proper washing technique. There was holograms all over the car, not to mention the PO had a clear bra installed and the installer actually cut the clear bra on the car, and CUT INTO THE PAINT!!! Needless to say, I had my work up for me. I wasn't going for 100% correction, because with the amount of damage done, I knew it was going to be too much time, I looked at around 90-95%. Products Used: Wash: Chemical Guys Citrus Wash and Gloss 2800 PSI Pressure Washer 2 Bucket Method IronX Clay: Poorboys Clay CG QD Correction: Makita 9227c PC DA M105 M205 LCC HydroPads Protection: Wolfgang 3.0 Paint Sealant Dodo Juice Hardy Candy Dodo Juice Rainforest Rub Wheels: Meguiars APC+ Poorboys Wheel Sealant Meguiars Endurance Tire Gel Exhaust: Wheel Wax Metal Polish Steel Wool #0000 Poorboys Wheel Sealant Onto the Pictures!

TTQ B4U Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Cool car. You don't see many/if any of them around much. Sucks the clear bra installer did that. The owner should discuss this with him and make it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owner should discuss this with him and make it right. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the installation... Clear bras should NEVER be cut on the car, and there's no reason to cut it on the car when they're already pre-cut for specific cars. It appears to just have happened with time, the elements and debris paired with terrible washing. I love M-coupes, and you did a really good job... :thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clear bras should NEVER be cut on the car, and there's no reason to cut it on the car when they're already pre-cut for specific cars. I've had them on a number of vehicles and never had any issues at the seems. IMO that was cut on the car. My installer is very good and performs a lot of custom cuts. Not everyone uses the more expensive pre cut ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owner should discuss this with him and make it right. There is only 1815 made in the US. From what I know personally. There are 4 people that have M Coupes in Ohio. The clear bra was cut on the car. There are cuts into the Clear Coat that can only be caused by a razor blade, or similar...that just happen to follow the outlines of the clear bra...go figure. The PO was in Texas, so who knows who did it. All I know is that it's right now Stunning. Def. seen that car out @ ackerman before. HERE SPRING SPRING SPRING Yep, I was able to get out there a couple times. You'll see me more often this year as well. I'll be in SMS. Great work, really. Nice job, car looks amazingly better. Thanks everyone. I've had them on a number of vehicles and never had any issues at the seems. IMO that was cut on the car. My installer is very good and performs a lot of custom cuts. Not everyone uses the more expensive pre cut ones. Same. When I worked at a tint shop in HS, my boss cut on the car all the time, it just seems that this one was careless and didn't care about the aftermath.

It looks like a nightmare, but everything is possible. I want to learn how to do this so bad. The black Solstice I just picked up has a lot of scratches in the clear coat that I want to get out. Start reading up on Autogeek.net That's where I started reading up years ago. There are tons of beginner kits out there for people who just want to start out. But be warned it gets expensive quick. If you have any questions feel free to PM me. I'll be more than happy to help/if you want to try anything out that I have extra of...I'll send it your way. Looks great man, I love those cars. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
