Year : 2000
Client Desire : Make this car looks shiny and better.
Service Recommended : Full paint correction.
Reason : Because paint are dull and turns yellowish with hazing.
Now let the story begins...
The car had just arrived at our porch.
(NOTE: ITS SLIGHTLY YELLOW)
The car looks quite in a good condition until upon further inspection..
here's what we found on the rear side of the car..OMG what a scratch!
Minor swirls on paint too.
On the front we found out the headlamp is yellowish hazing.
After founding the hazing headlamp, Its time to make this headlamp clear first
as the wetsand process would be messy.
The headlamp is then sand down from 800, 1000, 1200, 1500 grit.
Picture Below : Amount of sand paper used for the pair of headlamp.
After wet sanding of headlamp, I decided to polish off the sanding mark later on.
And proceeded to washing of whole car.
First, I clean the tire by rinsing it. Look how much dirt from the mud guard inside.
2nd, wiping of grease, brake dust, dirts etc on rim and inside compartment.
3rd, cleaning of small parts with brush for a detail cleanliness.
After cleaning of wheels, I proceeded to washing & drying of whole car.
A cleaned and dried car.
Now its time to decontaminate the car with clay. For today's car I'll
be using clay pad.
Eventually its time to chemically decontaminate. Dissolving iron particles that couldn't be removed during wash and clay process to ensure full decontamination. (Full decontamination are standard for coating) *THIS IS OPTIONAL FOR NON-COATING PROCESS
Chemical decontamination used : Rust Zero aka IronX of Korea.
Big thanks & got it from Alex Kwok, http://kalexcardetailing.blogspot.com/ for only RM55/ bottle (450ml)
The effect of chemical decontamination, the car is bleeding!
After decontamination, its time to handle the big scratch at the rear right side of car.
After lots of aggresive rubbing compound application, the scratch visibility are reduced with sanding marks.
It took 3 hours to solve the scratch problem on the whole car. Job continues the next day.
Time to inspect paint thickness before compounding (Deeper defects : Rids, scratch, waterspot) & Polishing (Minor defects : swirls & hologram)
Paint is in a very healthy state and thick, enough space for cutting/compouding & polishing .
After finishing compounding, the car shows better reflection than it was before.
The next day the car was washed with degreaser chemical as substitute to IPA to remove
polishing oil which could lead to decrease durability of wax, sealant or coating on paint.
After degreasing, its time to inspect the paint for any swirl. The result is great!
And finally, its sealant time. 1 year protection layer as base and topping with a shiny protection.
THE COMPLETE RESULT OF FULL PAINT CORRECTION
