Good day,
My buddy who called me up to detail his newly bought used car for his wife's daily drive, and since Valentine's Day is coming, he decided to bring this car to me for detailing as a gift for his wife. after inspecting the car, i found the front and rear bumper repainted, previous owner must have got into some minor accident before it was sold. other than that the whole paintwork is originally from the factory.
lack of gloss
dirt
start off with wheel 1st
OPC 1:3 on the wheel
done
Body was washed with ONR & Opti-Mitt
after cleaning & washing, contaminants on the surface were removed with PG Claybar.
inspection begins..
swirls all around the car due to improper wash from the used car detailer
fender
driver's door
side mirror
rear upper arch
rear trunk
Making Impossible to Possible, will you believe in technology? 2steps cutting, polish & finish from Optimum which is the double sided wool & double sided red foam. both pads could cut, polish & finish like 4-5steps.
masking begins..
hood swirls before

IPA wipe down after the paint correction, and then was protected with these goodies. OLP was used for rubber and plastic for exterior.
solid red can look really awesome after a proper detail. enjoy some of the after pictures!
cleaned & dressed

thanks for reading and Happy Valentine's Day!
