This was a car I did today and well it turned out ok minus a couple things. I knew going into the detail that from previous Hyundai's I have done that the paint seems extra hard to me so I knew I was going to have my work cut out for me.
So the usual:
1. Wash
2. Clay
3. the fun began.....
So as I finished Claying I was water spots or etching all over the hood of the car and thought well that won't be too bad I had them before and removed with out any issues. So on to a test spot of M83 with polishing pad speed 4 and 5. A few passed wiped and checked nothing no change.. Hit it again same thing a little slower and more pressure and nothing. Stepped up to UC with polishing pad speed 5 and again nothing. Well said screw it an went to 105 with the cutting foam pad and guess what? NOTHIN!!! so these water etching are deep and the only way to get them put was wet sanding and a rotary which I have no mastered yet so that was where I stopped. with the hood and roof. The rest of the car was not bad so here is the rest.
Here is a picture of the water etchings you can see around the lights
4. UC with polishing pad at speed 5
5. M07 Finishing pad speed 3
6. NXT 2.0 wax finishing pad speed 2 2 coats
7. UQD the entire car
Wheels sprayed with Wheel Brightener rinsed then washed with a wheel brush. Wheels were dressed with my favorite NXT Insane Tire Shine.
Before
After
On a side note here is what can be achieved with UC and a dull door handle
Before
After
I hope you enjoyed all. Happy Detailing
