First time with maching polishing '14 Chevy Volt w/pics

I spread it out over 3 days, but got anxious and finished in 2. I need to space it out a little better. the anxiousness got the best of me... I also figured I can avoid plastic spots on the car, but that didn't work out so well. I also learned masking tape doesn't stick well to VRT'd surfaces. It was good practice to get ready for doing the vette.

 

Started with a dawn wash and then clay bared the entire car. Did a 1 step process with orange MF pad and paint correction polish. followed by liquid paint sealant.

 

I would say I got 90-95% correction. Car was already at 80-85% though so it wasn't a day and night difference. It looks much better and water beads really nice :) Curious to see if the Liquid Paint sealant will actually last 4-6 months in Florida.

 

The grill thing is plasti-dipped and I need to redo it as it's all chipped up... That was after a year of having it on

 

and lastly, I thought there was a section for putting the pics up, but I can't find it. If there is, please move the thread and sorry it's in the wrong section :)

 

Before I started washing the car:

Looks great! Totally unrelated, I think it's weird chevy decided the bottom of the doors doors don't need to line up with the fender lines.

  Maybe lambo doors were original plan and they saved a few pennies?

Looks good OP. White is difficult to polish because it's hard to see the imperfections, but it's nice because it also hides a lot of the imperfections you miss, unlike black.

 

What machine did you use?

I bet if the side skirts were body color, you'd never notice. Edited by egott_91
