About Car

JAGUAR V12 E-Type disaster.


This car was done a few month back. The customer had some paint work done and wanted the car polished. He had mentioned something about a detailer who does his cars very cheaply every few months. I was also told it was never machine polished. So I went and collected the car from the body shop. What I discovered at a traffic light was horrfying :
First inspection phots









































Under Halogens








Every panel looked the same. It was the worst hologramming I have ever seen. I would assume a glaze applied by a wool pad was the culprit. I just don't see another way to inflict that much marring. So I measured the paint, which was pointless with my highline. It pretty much told me the obvious. The car has seen some serious paint work over its time.









I decided to test the worst area first which was the drivers side boot. It was so badly hazed that you could see it without any direct lighting. I decided to go as mild as possible. I started with PO85RD on a Megs Polishing pad.

After



I was very happy with the results, and double checked the finish with an IPA wipedown. Results








I then applied RaceGlaze 42 by hand, let it cure and removed. Final shots/sun shots.






























Finally the sun came out











Raceglaze42는 진정 클래식카 용이란 말인가..
아니면 차량색과 왁스색이 유사해 사용하는것인가..
궁굼해 환장하겠다...
한가지 재미있는 사실이.. ㅎㅎㅎ
