  • EXTREME ENOUGH turning 16 yrs old Charcoal paint to Mirror Finish, newbie on rotary

    I had the opportunity to witness another 'believe it or not' episode

    One of the New Makita owner..
    Please do not believe anything you are about to see
    cos it will distort your logical mind & alter your thought & effect you emotions

    Initially i dont believe either...but after seeing what i saw .....how this Newbie on Rotary - Extreme Kaw kaw Extreme make over........


    We had another encounters last Sunday,after close to 11 hours correction on the E90 , I could hardly lift up both my arms & shoulder, as it is as stiff as a concrete……but detailing who can resist….

    Instead of FLEE-ing …I flew to the crime scene….. one of which my buddy who got a new rotary & he started correcting his wife 16 years old oxidized car paint……the car is so oxidized that the owner...refuses to wash...but the loving hubby does all detailing, and it is out of his love for his wife, he bought himself a rotary & starting correcting...pain work

    Let me share with you more…if you would please

    Remember how lighting plays a big part in Car Detailing , as most cars defect only been seen from a strong lighting, what professional detailer want is to imitate Sun light but without the heat, as you need a cooling surface to work your compound & polishes.







    Bette Midler : From A Distance Lyrics
    From a distance the world looks blue and green,
    and the snow-capped mountains white.
    From a distance the ocean meets the stream,
    and the eagle takes to flight.

    Look good….but….hold thy fort & horses




    Can you distinguish from just light or strong halogen light



    Did you notice the effect???



    Have you not seen? Have you not heard?

    But does it work for car detailing…what you cant see, you cant correct



    Have a bright & clearer day



    Menu for the day:-

    WASH Osren bubble wash premixes with MPC 3 microfibres cloths

    Clay with mild clay

    wash wash again dry by 3 microfibres cloths

    Correction work......

    ROTARY whole car - Meguiars # 105 & wool x 2pases & more followup passes with LC wool followed by Meg cutting pad x 2 passes

    ROTARY & Meguiars # 205 with Meguiars polishing pad


    the 50/50 % area set.....




    ready
    get set
    Bang!!!! Go

    as there is always darkness before dawn



    before



    coming





    coming



    After Megs 105 with LC CCS Cuttinf pad…very impressive outcome


    Look at the restored side, & the oxidize paint look like a racing stripes


    impressive restorations


    extreme close up Racing stripes….



    you may also see the paint chipped, perhaps by stones at high speed!!!!!



    the unfinish work



    M105 Megs LC CCS Cutting pad….is not as aggressive than the wool cutting strength



    the finish side of wool



    look at the side left panel not corrected…& compare with the hood now


    NOW SEE THE DIFFERENT



    the most extreme make over, close up Picture



    Look at the 50/50% comparison before & after


    the champion of of the champion


    Another Matt vinyl Sticker


    the finish but not complete pic



    Kindly look at what you saw just?...Halogram


    The good , Bad & the ugly……….


    but now


    do u see what you just saw? Hint for the second time

    50/50%


    look at the night


    look at the mirror finish from Oxidized


    Twinkle twinkle little star


    2 more passes to eliminate Hologram
    ….And more oxidation



    the master hand


    * more pic deleted as was to protect the identity of the owner


    TA da


    Ta da again


    but can u distinguish the defect from this kinda lighting???



    or this lighting???


    can you view from this light
    Is there any definitions???
    dont be taken for a joy ride, if anyone that claims, it is good, as you do not see the bigger & brighter picture


    as it takes a cobler to know his tools



    Can this from this kinda lighting???



    or this

    DEFINITIONS IS SPELLED


    picture before


    ta da



    finishing pic




    would u now believe what it seems to be impossible became possible



    the next mountain …another peak to conquer


    thanks for viewing


    I marvel at this, young apprentice....& at the level of correction done only with such a little knowledge & experiences as he allows his loves driven him far above & away the impossible

      You can actually see how thick that Oxidation was..... Kinda reminds me of a old "Married With Children" Episode.

      Al Bundy took his Dodge to the car wash for its yearly bath. They thought they lost the car as it was a Brown Dodge. By the time they were done, it turns out they did not lose it at all. It was a Torch Red Colored car. LOL!

      ON a side note, what Speed (setting) For the Rotary??
