Ted Y Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Folks, it's been non stop at the Crazy Shine village on the West Side! ACE member Justinsane attended the Detail Day at mi casa and had a car that definitely had needs. He recently bought an '04 convertible that had hard water spots etched into the trunk, scratches and pretty heavy swirl marks. He wanted to know what we could do. Here are some before shots: Under the dirt, if you look closely, you can see the permanent outlines of water spots. Would they come out? Look directly around the sun on this hood, see the swirls and scratches appear in a "halo" around the light source? Same on the fender and bumper: In addition to the sunlight, I also like to look at the car under artificial light. See the scratches and swirls? This required serious stuff. I used the trusty Flex 3401 using the Lake Country heavy cutting pad and a combination of Meguire's 95 and 105 for the first pass. You have to check after each pass to make sure you are getting the results. After the cut, the Meguire's 205, is one of my favorite products on a medium pad to make it shine, and then a quality sealant. Here are the results!

Guest badbobs95 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 A year and a half ago, I didn't know anything about detailing a car the right way. Now I do one or two vettes per week using everything I learned from Ted and Dwayne and the rest of the guys at an ACE detail workshop. If you haven't gone to one yet, you should. If you're rich or lazy or just don't have the time, pay one of us to do it for you. By the way, I'm on the east side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
