suke Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 So a client I take care of.....well everything of theirs (cars, jet skis, etc) brought me his DD for a single stage polish and ceramic coating. Surprisingly enough a single stage polish got out about 90% of defects. Typical swirls Wheels bleeding out. Which I found interesting considering since I wouldn't predict that on a Caddy like this. Foam cannon laying down a nice thick layer of foam Scratch before All gone More swirls After...swirls all gone Zero reflectivity or shine in this paint here. Much better After in the sun....swirls are gone as are most defects. After Didn't get many full after pics as I was hustling to get this done.

AK47 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Man, you are a wizard. I'm still scared to take a machine to my paint to remove scratches/swirls. I just need to man up and do it one time. I do have a question for you.. how did you remove the swirl marks on the black trim pieces on the BMW? BTW, nice Cisco shirt. I work with Cisco switches and routers ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work with Cisco switches and routers ha. You can polish over those swirls on painted trim pieces much the same you can on paint. Just have to be careful. I've been with Cisco for almost 10 years. I work in cybersecurity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SumBeach35 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Interested in what coating you use. Feel free to PM me. Great work you do. I'm also interested to get an idea of what you charge to do these corrections? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also interested to get an idea of what you charge to do these corrections? Did I PM you by chance? Can't recall. However, I do tend to try and stay at $10-20 an hour, which is basically slave labor. One of the many reasons I don't do this for a living.

suke Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 Custom cut some clear bra for some high impact areas on my Jeep. Next up will likely be some for the front of the Jeep. Have some folks asking about me doing vinyl and I'm not necessarily looking to get into it. Coating installs are ramping up too...... Polished out defects like this. Hard to see in the white, but it wasn't terrible yet. This isn't driven too terribly often. Laying down vinyl on the hinges. Done Passenger rear done. These are kind of a pain as you see that indention there is fun to make sure you get flawless install. Driver side done All in all some lessons learned getting vinyl to lay just right in complex tiny areas. One area I had to pull off and redo as I wasn't satisfied with how it laid down. It always amazes me at how much this stuff can stretch and be pulled to cover complex curves, flawlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
