Oakes Detailing documentary of 2007 STI Gray Metalic
This car belongs to friend of ours, Adam. Car was repainted in November and painter did pretty good job on it but left some sanding marks on car, so owner decided to get car done for upcoming annual car meet(which is canceled due to weather). Paint is gray metallic so it hard to see defects on it but they all came out great. Clear coat was pretty hard on the car since its not original. In parts where it was repainted paint read in 250-300 and on rest of the car around 120-130, lowest was 99 microns. Onto the pics
Products used:
Menzerna 203 and LC orange pad
Meguiars 105 and purple wool pad
Menzerna 85rd and blue uber pad
Black fire wet diamond and uber black pad
Lusso Oro and LC CCS red pad
P21s wheel cleaner
P21s Total Auto Wash
Rejex for wheels and calipers
P21S polishing soap
P21S finish restorer
Chemical guys metal wax
optimum opti-bond tire dressing
Procedure:
did test panel with clay and it didnt needed it since we did wash of car couple weeks ago
Spoiler was polished and removed.
Whole car was hit with wool pad and Meguiars 105, followed by Menzerna 203 and orange pad, then Menzerna 85rd and blue Uber pad (blue Uber is same as LC black pad by description), then whole car was followed with P21S paint cleanser to remove all oils left by polishing, black fire sealant was applied on roof when it was done first day, then removed after 24hours and whole car was sealed again and left for more then 24 hours to cure, sealant then was removed. Reinstalled spoiler and car was washed again to get rid of all polishing dust. Dried the car with drying towels, and applied wax, removed per wax instructions and was taken outside for pictures
Prep work was done couple weeks ago but was washed anyway with Chemical guys Super Suds and CitrusWash with 2 bucket method
