gave the tl-s a minor paint correction

finally had some time to film some footage of some minor one step paint correction on tl type-s I had bought.

my intention was to really get some depth and gloss to the paint, and achieved it to some degree, but honestly it didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. The paint isn't as deep and blue as I would like, possibly because of the wax I had used.
  • correction compound - griots garage fast correcting cream
  • sealant - jescar power lock
  • wax - ethos pro ceramic wax
before + after

the before and after isn't that drastic, but if you can see on the hood in the first picture, and in the video there was absolutely zero gloss in the paint, and i had thought the clear coat was completely faded, and i figured I would have to repaint the whole hood. Luckily it came out after 2-3 times of the one-step.

Did you prep the surface prior to correct the paint surfaces? if not then its like using sand paper all over your paint. I guess you recognized my user name from Youtube lol.

Hahah hey whats up man!? I didn't have any iron remover on hand, and was too impatient to wait for it to come in the mail, so just settled on clay barring the surface.
