Huge correction of 2004 Pontiac GP

[jstephen]

So I had a chance to take my mothers car this weekend and give it a good Paint Correction, using the older three step process with a DA Polisher.

 

First the car was washed and quickly clayed only the the top surfaces.  The top was very rough and there was a huge amount of debris on the clay.  The paint has seen years of neglect sitting under a sap dripping tree, being run through hundreds of car washes, and years of sitting through the elements.

 

As you can see in the picts, there are thousands of scratches on the surfaces of this car.  To be honest, i really thought that the hood would have to be repainted because of all the damage.

 

Before:

Hood - Notice the hundreds of thousands of scratches in the hood and the extensive damage to the creases in the hood.

 

Even found a lot of areas with stains in the paint.  Very odd that none of this washed out

 

Door Handle   -Again, hundreds of scratches all over the car.

 

Door Panel

 

Taped up all the trim and off i went on a 4 hours polishing adventure.

 

 

 

After:

 

Hood - Could not belive that is could turn out this nice.

 

Door Handle  - Almost perfect.

 

 

Door Panel - Almost Perfect.

 

 

Overall - very very pleased with the results.  To be honest, there are parts that could have used another few passes, but time was short and still had to wax this thing.  

 

Parents very very pleased.  Next time I visit i need to do the engine and interior.  Engine is very dirty, but at least the interior is in really good shape.  Then time to move on to Dad's 2008 Cadillac.

Like my Wife's car, do all that work and it's back looking the same by the next week. Guess the practice is good to do though?
