Todays detail, 04 TL NBP, and an Atom?
This poor lil TL, needed more then I could throw at it. Included in my offerings were Orange and yellow 6.5" pads, UDM, both Four Star Body Shop Medium Cut and light Cut Compounds, Optimum Compound and Polish, and every conceivable combination of those items. It was just beyond what I can normally attain in a normal 4-5 hr job for a car of this size. Ive done plenty of NBP TL's, but this one had just not had enough TLC over its 3 years of life in So Cal. Heavy bird stains, sap stains, chips, bug splatter, and over 70k miles. Overall, about a upper 80%, low 90% improvement though. Here's some before and afters......
And now a real treat........
No befores, just afters. The owner who is headed to a local monthly get together of exotics asked if I had some time to clean this up. How could i deny myself the pleasure.....
Just a little bit of Freedom One, and Protectall Do It All, Four Star Tire Gel for the rubber.....
Tomorrow is "Girls Day" for the Atom. The owners GF gets to drive it to the show. He had these panels custom painted by the same painter who custom painted many of the Fast & Furious rides......She has no idea what he did for her either.....They were freshly painted a while back, and this is there first appearance on the Atom. I just added a little gloss with the Protectall.....

Great try on the TL ... some times you just can't make a steak dinner out of a slab of balogna.
Nice job on the Atom .. did you donate some dressing so he could do the tire treads when he got to the GTG?

It really was in sad shape for such a beautiful car, the bird stains were clearly through the clear coat, and nothing I can do about that.....i used the Four Star Tire Gel, he'll be ok for todays show. That stuff is amazing!
