LP640 in a rare color, Rosso Vik
4 day complete detail and paint correction
Few shots of the defects in sunlight, all front hood and bumper wrapped in clear film
Necessary for cleaning front wheel wells....
The car has carbon ceramic brakes, no chemical wheel cleaner was used. Heavy dilution of pH car shampoo and various brushes worked fine.
Tires stripped of old dressing, wheel wells degreased as well
Pre-wash cleanup
Sprayed down the entire car with a diluted degreaser to strip off prior protection and loosen up some grime, car was pressured washed again and began the 2 bucket wash with CG citrus shampoo
The car had a lot of bonded contaminants and a very rough feel, clay process took close to 2hours to complete
Plenty of paint to work with, diamond hard clearcoat :shakehead:
Started paint correction on the front hood and bumper both of which wrapped in clear film.
RIDS and swirls
After a few passes compoudning
Front bumper, 50/50
More film
After
Now onto the more serious stuff, the entire finish had some light wash marring with lots of RIDS and DA sanding scratches from the factory.
Sand scratches and pig tailing...
Holograms too
After several passes compounding and polishing
Refining the coarse finish left from compounding at.... 2300rpm :crasy:
1900 and slower passes during the polishing stage, working products at 1500rpm does very little for extremely hard paint
foam compounding roof
50/50
Side mirror, far less aggressive combos needed here :headbang:
Running board before

Before

Couldn't machine this so I went old school, corrected about 80%
After correction moved to the interior
Jean transfer on the leather
After
Everything all finished
Protected all the carbon trim with Opti Seal
Engine bay as well
Few last touches
After about 32hours the end result
Wheels layered up with Rejex
Some direct sun shots
Back inside for the water wipedown
