One is a classic, the other is a futuristic, both badly swirled

Hi all, just completed two detailing sessions on 2 sexy rides from Zoom Zoom recently.

 

First up, this hard-top MX5 just had a fresh coat of paint a few months back and I was under the impression that its gonna need just some light touch ups. After washing and claying, I had a shock when I saw the rotary induced swirls all over the car. See the pics to know what I mean.

 

My Process:

1) Wash n Clay

2) Rotary wif Orange LC pad and IP (Some areas needed Lambwool and IP first )

3) Rotary with White pad and PO106FF

4) Chemical Guys EZ creme glaze by hand

5) Chemical Guys M-Seal x2 layers by hand

 

The pre-preparation process took almost 30 mins due to the taping up of almost all the visible rubber seals, some of which were dry and had harden. Special care had to be taken at the tight curvy edges keeping in mind this is a resprayed paintwork. Though siong, the end result was really sweet. Hope u all like it

oh ..thanks

[Coltagious]

Thanks to all for the compliments The colour of the paint helps in a way, I just bring out the shine

[Coltagious]

Yup. M-seal is one of their sealant. There is a new carnauba paste wax coming out soon, keep the link in ur favourite folder. Since u like pink wax, try out their cherry wax or butter wet wax, believe they are just as wet

The swirls on this RX8 is even worse than the MX5. Purchased as a showroom car, it was delivered in an appalling state which I personally feel no reputable seller should allow, regardless of the sale price The pictures say it all:

Both the cars look great, wet and shinning . Can I check whether the black RX8 ever send for a re-spray job before ?

[Nhrisuzu]

Hi Bro, love your work

[Coltagious]

Thanks bro. I was told this is a new car used as a display in the showroom. Dun think i went thru a re-spray before

[Coltagious]

Thank you. I really like the clear and sharp reflection in the last pic, looking at it makes the hard work put in worthwhile.
