Polished Sisters Car...

After my sister saw my Camaro, she whined at me about polishing up her hurting Dodge Dart.. young teenage boys and a small garage equals lots of scratches and swirls in the paint...

most of the scratches are cleaned up a fair amount..some will need to be painted they are so deep, but she is happy... that's all that matters anyway... I better get a good Christmas gift from her...  :)

I worked on it to her satisfaction, not mine.. could have done a bit more to really make it pop, but she wouldn't maintain it or probably notice....here is what I did:

 

Wheel cleaner on Rims and Rubber cleaner on tires

Foam Gun pre-wash with blue car shampoo

Strip wash

clay paint and glass

correction polish with orange pad (bad swirls and scratches)

(sister used Interior Detailer on inside while I polished)

Foam Gun and wash with blue car shampoo to remove polish residue

Liquid Paint sealant

Sealed Glass while LPS was curing

Brilliant Glaze

Buttery Wax

 

BBQ burgers and drink beer to relax afterwards.. paint was a mess before hand.. way better now and that process was from 10am to about 5pm with a momentary pause for lunch.

Haha...good luck with that.. my sister and BBQ don't mix well.. but she does know where my beer fridge is to fetch some IPA's.  :P

The forum auto acronym adjustor strikes again - "I.P.A." (no periods) is what you meant. Just please, please DO NOT confuse isopropyl alcohol with the drinkable kind...that would be really bad.

Cool! I didn't know about washing before LPS? Is that necessary?

All my reading has been that you need to remove any residue from polishing and have a good clean bare surface for the LPS to bond with.  I washed then used my great white drying towel to dry, no detail spray as an agent as I didn't want to add anything to the paint before the LPS.  Others may chime in too, I think some do an IPA wipe down before but I did a complete wash.. Just going from what I've learned here.
