Aaron@P2PQD Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Hi Gents, Been busy with paint corrections and details but haven't really had a car come through that deserves posting. I actually didn't think this one would either so I didn't take any before shots . The original phone call I received was to give the car a quick clay and paint seal which I penned in for about 2 1/2 hours of work. When the car arrived that quickly changed. The vehicle was covered in a very thick layer of industrial overspray, It was so thick that while washing and claying it sounded like I was sanding with 40 grit. It took 9 hours total to fix this but I think the car came out great considering. I did manage to marr the paint slightly during claying so I can't advocate this process until I understand the why's, But this is how it went down -Complete Clay of vehicle using Adam's Claybar, I used Adam's Detail Spray in the light areas and Adam's Waterless Wash in the heavy area's to move the contamination - 1 Pass with Adam's Paint Finishing Polish, White Foam Pads and Cyclo Polisher - Apply Adam's Liquid Paint Sealant with Grey Foam Pads and Cyclo Polisher Here are the pics, Probably more of a curiosity for you guys in the states. Quite common here in Aus. These are a rear wheel drive sedan that is powered by an inline 2.5 liter 6 cylinder turbo. The kids love them because they are cheap and can fry the tyres quite well, And it doesn't really matter if you hit the wall at your local track Hood Hood Hood LHF Door RHR Door, Loads of clear on this and I think it was resprayed at some point Trunk And some of the whole vehicle! I also learned something very valuable while doing this car about photography. This car is actually still full of scratches from washing, Some of the worst I have ever seen. But the angle of the shots hides them from the camera and actually makes the paint look flawless, when the reality is it is not. It really proves you can't always trust pictures on the internet, And I'm noticing some tricks some professionals use to make cars look significantly better than what they are. For my customers, I'm only to happy to point out where it could be better, And I believe they appreciate the honesty Cheers All Aaron eric@thompsonracing.us, Team Adam's and AmyAtAdamsAustralia 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marylander Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Neat car. Are you going to go after all the swirls and scratches with a full correction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron@P2PQD Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) Hi Rich, Owner is selling unfortunately so he wasn't keen on going the whole way. I couldn't even convince him to let me wash the wheels! I think he was just interested in removing the overspray so he could ask a bit more for it. He was pretty impressed though so there is a possibility the new owner may bring it back for a full correction which would satisfy my OCD!

I will catch up with you in the coming weeks to discuss, I'm really amazed at how quickly this has gained momentum AmyAtAdamsAustralia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
