Thanks again to the owner, it was fun working on this car. A few challenges encountered on black cars, except this one had a few wierd contaminants on the paint, felt like cement particles. Spent 1 hour claying the car to remove all contaminants and bring the paint to a silky smooth feeling.
Enjoy

- 3 Step Paint correction (Meguiars M105 with wool pad, Menzerna Power finish with green pad and Menzerna PO85RD with an Uber Blue)
- Headlights and Taillights machine polished

Clay bar.. the hood only
Taking pics of a dirty car is sort of cheating, I prefer taking pics of the paints condition and then show the afters to give a better understanding of the process done.
Pre-wax pics to search for holograms and imperfections.
Sealant applied and let it to haze.
and finally toped with Concorso.
Thanks again for watching
