have to say this has been my most difficult detail to date.
I was contacted by a MOL member a couple weeks ago to have his TL-S polished out. We were able to schedule it in for this weekend and so the car was dropped off Friday night.
Ready for the wash
After the dirt was removed the swirls became more apparent.
I even noticed some water etching on the hood
Once the car was clayed I did my test spot. Rotory with a W-8006 and some 105 did the trick.
I started with the hood, moved on to the driver side front fender all is good and I get to the driver side door and what I had been using so far has no effect on the paint. Ok, let me bring out a W-7006 pad and try 105, ok nothing. Hmmm, Let's bring out the wool pad, so that starts hazing it I don't see a problem. Now, let me go back to the 8006 and some 105 to try and clear up the hazing which it does to some degree. So I break out with the G110, W-7006 and some 83. That worked so well and it only took me about 2 1/2 hours to figure that out
I measure the paint and it's reading 7.1, I measure the hood and the fender and it reads 4.6-5.2. It was definitely repainted. I even noticed what I think were sanding marks towards the bottom of the door. so after a few passes I was able to remove the majority of the scratches.
Just a few things I tried out
Rear passenger side panel seems to have been repainted as well. Orange peel anyone?
After piling up the dust on the car it was time for the second wash
Cleaned up fairly well
There was a scuff that I was able to remove with no issues.
50/50
The end result after 23 hours
This paint required me to work the product in very slow to be able to produce results. I followed up with M205 & W-8006 on the G110. Topped with NXT 2.0
Interior/trunk was vaccumed and wiped down.
Customer was very kind and was happy with the end results. I'm beat and need some rest.
