TTQ B4U Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 So Casey treats his wife like a queen and short while back bought her a beautiful and classy 2016 Volvo XC90 Inscription Trim. Pearl White with a two tone interior loaded with all the gadgets. When initially approaching me due to time constraints on his end the main goal was to help get the pearl finish to really "POP!" I think mission accomplished but will await Casey's input. Part of what was holding the vehicle back was his wife has a subscription based car wash plan that lays down fine swirls and loads of wax/sealant that just build up over time. Approaching this daily driver work vehicle within reason we opted for my Premium Enhancement Polish with a traditional Sealant that will carry it well into late fall before he needs to seal it up again for winter. Here's a before shot of the B-Pillars and the abuse they have taken. After a bit of work with some polish I was able to fix them right up. The paint suffered the same but the big advantage to white and especially a pearl metallic white is it tends to hide swirls really really well. Nonetheless however, those swirls take their toll on the color by making it appear dull and lifeless. With no depth or finish gloss to speak of it's nice, it's clean but it doesn't pop. Here are the after images though and now she is fully road-worth for Casey's wife to enjoy. Sorry the pics dont' do it the justice it deserves. White is tough to capture during near noon-time sunshine. Timing isn't always our friend. Thanks again Casey for trusting in my work and I do hope your wife enjoys her new ride!
