A white Colt's revival


Coltagious

Just did this white colt on Saturday. Was in quite a neglected condition when it came and the owner just took of the stickers on his ride and the difference was plain to see. I had though initially that this car should not take more than 6 hrs but I was dead wrong as cleaning up the door jams and door handle areas took me 3hrs to finish [sweatdrop]

 

Process:

 

1) Wash n clay (Due to tar marks accumulated for a long period of time, I had to use an abrasive grade claybar to remove them. If not, normal grade claybar will take forever to finish)

2) Rotary with Orange LC pad and Intensive polish mixed with Paintwork cleansing lotion on all panels except bumper

3) PC with Orange spot buff pads and IP mixed with PCL for both bumpers, side skirts and door jams where applicable. Some parts where the PC cannot reach is replace by hand

4) Rinse

5) Pc with grey finishing pad with Wet Mirror Finish to clear up the polishing residue

6) PC with blue final finishing pad with Jetseal 109 x2

 

 

Here's some of the before pics:
