My Weekend Project


DP 08 GXP

Question

well this will be my first real test with my PC and Adam's prodcucts. my advertising paid off and one of my friends is letting me do her car. it might have the worst looking paint i will be able to put my hands on. the front bumper looks like she hit something so the paint is spidered so i am goin to stay away from that for the most part, some parts look like flat black because there are so many swirls, and yeah it is just a mess. she has always taken it through the car washes that have all the brushes and junk in them. here is what i am looking at doing to her car.

 

wash with dawn (get to use the pressure washer with foamer i posted about)

clay

wash with Adam's

APC the engine bay and detail with IUS and VRT

APC the wheel wheels and tires

GWC on the rims

 

then i get to go to workat Walmart from 2pm til 11pm

 

wake up in the morning and go back at it

 

dry orange pad with SHR because it is that bad unless you think i should prep the pad first?

maybe a second pass if needed

white pad with FMP

white pad with revive

1 coat of MSW

 

go into work 11p-730a

 

get up that afternoon

 

wipe it down with DS

put a coat of americana

detail the inside with C&UC, L&IC, LC on the dash and VRT on the rest

depending on how it looks a coat of BSG

 

on the headlights ill be trying to polish them up with SHR and FMP. i havent done it before so im hoping for good results.

 

here are the pics of the destruction. i am thinking it is goin to take me around 10ish hours to complete.
