Just wanted to share some light paint correction done on my Hilux.
Brief overview on the car - My car has been previously detailed but a recent incident had made me sent the car to the workshop (one of the timing belt's pulley jammed up so car died on the middle of the highway and it was raining! ). Cost me around RM2000 (USD606...) to fix the whole lot plus with other minor fixies.
Plus they so gratuitously WASH my car FOC
Plus the car sat outside the hot sun for 4-5 days and was only pushed back in the locked garage at night for safekeeping. Process:
Wash
Wash back the car with Shampoo Plus via 2BM method.
QD using Last Touch
Minor Paint Correction
Treated with only D151 with maroon and yellow pad via RB 1k-1.5k rpm
** Just wanted to try out the D151. No wool pad was used **
LSP
#21 2.0 by hand
Time Taken
1.2 hrs or so
Some quick pictures for you to enjoy -
So here are the 'gifts' they gave to me
One very long scratch on the front hood
swirls, water spots, long scratch and marring (like glue/grease that Shampoo Plus and SDeg cant remove)
Close Up: Few swirls from washing with dirty rag and also water spots (rained and the car's front hood was protruding out of the garage)
here's another shot
and another....
AFTER USING D151 only with YELLOW AND MAROON PAD (6.5")
Not perfect but its sure is better than the before's
and another after shot..
and another lol
again another one
majority of the defects were gone but deeper defects were still there. The long scratch was too deep - so its not gone, only less obvious
And its all thanks to MEGUIAR'S D151 for a quick paint correction session.
Thank you for viewing
