Title: my car de swirled
Post by: aaran on 06 March 2010, 17:18

finally finished. been at this for a week

clayed, hit with a rotart and megs 84, then menz po85rd, megs paint cleaner by hand (brilliant filler) smart wax smart sealent then 2 coats of dodo juice bannana armour :)

car was an utter state when i got it, really heavely swirled, dull paint. took so long as it has good old stickey paint syndrome, plus with the ambient temps being so low the menz was being a pig as usual and clotting. anyway look miles better now :)

sorry guys but i completly forgot to take before shots and 50/50 shots, lets jsut ssay think of the worst (dull color, rids's and really bad swirling plus dull patches and very dry paint).

iv done around 10 cars in the last year and this was rivaling the worst lol. destroyed a clay bar on the bonnet and roof alone!

 need to get some paint mixed up and some 2 pac clearcoat and toutch in the stone chips and scratches and wetsand them flat to make it look semi decent. its my daily driver so im not going to bother getting the spray gun out and spending hours re-painting and blending them in :lol:
