Nissan 2face revisited

[KC's]

What do u do when u see your car paint faded?

oxidized, dull, dead paint....''boss mesti hantar cat la'' mean sorry - need to be repainted...no cure...that is what the paint shop(body shop) advise me -
even the technician of a reputable international detailing supplies company
tell me pls get itrepainted
I was so shocked & i actually copy& paste d respond i got from MOL, he was quiet then
I nearly gave up detailing if i have listen to some,

front hood before

back bonnet before


oxidized, dull, dead paint....''boss mesti hantar cat la''
ta ta ta
ladies & gentleman
let me present u my nissan 2 face
his have been roaming in town, still in 2 face condition



boleh ke ?
water test?
start to pour water

1 sec later

2 sec later

3sec later

4 sec later


5 sec later

6 months later
revisited

detail side



look from the dull side - no reflection

ta ta - its alive


rain test - water beading
on the engine hood

on the roof



the very next day - dew test

close up





my conclusion, a detail surface is a protected surface & test against the harsh envioromental test -





before

now

before

now

before


before

now

water beading well


how i did it? just be deaf & stubborn to do what i have to do....with some effort & Megs 80, D 151, NXT 2.0, UQD & P.a.s.s.i.o.n


i am planning to keep this as it is....forever
thanks for viewing my nissan 2face again
have a great weekend

AWESOME job!!!! I don't know how many times I have heard people say that the only way to fix the paint is to get a new paint job, when all they have to do is use detailing steps to restore the paint they already have!! Detailing works, and you have proved it with your hard work. Looks great to me!

Re: Nissan 2face revisited

This is a fantastic testament to the benefit of detailing. 6 months later and it still looks like this? fantastic. Way to go, KC.

Re: Nissan 2face revisited

LMAO I did this to my sister's black VW Jetta last year. I just saw it recently and the left side of the hood is still beading while the right side is still swirled up and nasty.

Re: Nissan 2face revisited

Wow the outcome was fantastic. Nice job! Was just wondering about those stains on the roof of the vehicle... Do you think they can be removed with any of the products or would they seem beyond repair?

Nice! I'm thinking about doing something similar to a 1993 Dodge pick-up that looks like that.. but I'll do the whole thing and not just half.

What's the 'D 151' you have listed as something you used??
