TTQ B4U Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Had a great father's day weekend at the Concert, then watching the Cav's win!! (Cleveland born here) and helping out a couple friends with their cars. Two Basic All in One Clean ups; so no full corrections but damn near full 180* turn arounds on both. Not much in the way of before pics as I just don't document shit like I should, but here are the clips: 2012 Honda Accord: 1 Step All in One Clean up Worked on a black Accord that hasn't been cared for at all in the last 4yrs. Sits outside and the inside windows were so dirty that I had to switch MF Rags after each door - she's a casual smoker. Outside has several areas of clear coat failure. Owner thought it was just tree sap. No before pics but it was ragged out bad. Not many RIDS but it was swirled pretty bad and faded to charcoal grey. I attacked it with HDSpeed at first but then it needed a bit more cut. I'm out of HDCut but I did mix in some HDAdapt with each reload of the pads. Orange pads on a Flex 3401. Wasn't out to correct it 100%. Decided after testing that four passes was all I was going to do. Kept me on track time wise and more than achieved a ridiculous turn around. Topped her off with Finish Care 1000P. Used 3D Eraser on Windows then sealed them up with Optimum Opti-Seal. Not sure of the exact name of the color but it's a metallic black of some sort. Late day/evening pics: http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah133/PDQS4/Misc%20Detailing/20160618_205025_zpsnkvozw50.jpg http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah133/PDQS4/Misc%20Detailing/20160618_205001_zpshkhoevf7.jpg 2013 Audi S4: Spent part of yesterday helping my friend with his "new to him" car. Late day pic with a short video clip showing off Finish Kare 1000P as or LSP of choice. Overall the car was clean but had some trouble areas. Hood was marred up pretty bad and needed some Meg's Ultimate Compound. Looked like the previous owner didn't know how to use his nanoskin cleaning pad. The rest of it had medium to bad swirls which we knocked out with some HDSpeed and Orange Pads. I used the Flex 3401 and he used the PC 7424xp. The passenger side rear quarter and decklid had been re-sprayed and there was as ton of overspray on the roof and elsewhere that needed clayed off too. Lastly the windows were horrible. Tons of water spot etchings like it saw a sprinkler system and sun daily. The windshield had massive build up of aquapel or something too. 3D Eraser made quick work of it but the windshield needed scrubbed...twice. It was a lot of work but a good time helping a friend and now fellow addict. http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah133/PDQS4/Misc%20Detailing/20160619_190734_zps1v2minhq.jpg Brief Video Clip of Finish Kare 1000P sheeting water. I've had my vehicles coated with this for several weeks and still sheet water like this It's good stuff. Save Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbospec29 Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Do you have any good "how too" videos for this kind of stuff? I've never really messed with paint correction or care outside of just hand washing and drying with spray wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
