The client booked a full correction and sealant for LSP (we are using my new "in-development" sealant!).
We start with interior early in the AM (notice the winter AM fog).

The engine compartment was cleaned with Simple Green cut 4:1 and then dressed with SYTEM ONE Licorice dressing.

Next we washed (pre-soak first) with warm water, Gold Class soap, two buckets and a grit guard.


The car wash dried with a very soft and plush microfiber drying cloth.



For some reason, the defect shots didn't come out as expected (we'll do better next time... I promise), but you can see the scratches and swirls in these shots.

The dealer installed the wing and did a pretty good job at scratching up the paint around it on the trunk. There also seemed to be sand scratches around it!! (<-?!?!?!?)

We taped up the edges and got to work (we found a spot on the front driver's fender where the dealer had already burned through the paint!!). We decided to use Menzerna PO83 SIP for the heavier correction (hood, fenders, bumpers & trunk lid).

Two drops is all it takes!

I used a Lake Country Green CCS pad for the cutting step and a Makita 9227C rotary at about 1,500 rpms (ramping up and down using the pyramid technique).




We finished off with Menzerna Nano PO106FF on a white finishing pad. The sun came out just in time to check our work!


We apply our sealant with a small palm, low power DA like this Ryobi unit using a blue Lake Country pad.

It was left to cure for about 30 minutes.

Then was buffed off with a clean, plush microfiber.







We drove it down to my favorite photo op spot and did the best we could with the heavy vertical lighting.








Thanks for looking.
