Thanks, though I must say I think having your red Spyder tail lights would give the car nice red accent to go with the mud flaps
Hopefully no one gets upset and says this reply has to go to the detailing forum, but it was a request on here so that's where I'll post the reply. I'm no pro at this and it was my first time using anything mechanical, so don't be too harsh to judge 1. Prep - washed the car with dish soap (Dawn ultra super duper for greasy dishes) to remove any wax that was still on the car and then clayed using mother's clay bar with ONR clay lubricant ratio. 2. Inspection - checked the car for any noticeably large scratches to pay closer attention to. Nothing too bad on my car where I needed to wet sand, but I had some handy just in case. 3. Product/media selection - based on your findings in step 2 determine how much of a cut you'll need and pick the right products for the job. I ended up with an orange CCS light cutting pad and Pinnacle's advanced swirl remover. (wish I had a yellow pad for a little more cut, but the orange worked out fairly well) 4. Sectioning - I sectioned my car in about 2.5 sq ft areas making 6 to 8 passes overlapping 50% then buffing off to make sure I got all those nice dealer installed scratches out. (This was done once with Pinnacle's ASR and then once again with their finishing polish - used a white pad for the finishing) 5. Wax - Pinnacle's directions state to let the wax dry before buffing so I grabbed my red pad and did the whole car. At this point I was way too tired to do sections for waxing, and I think most detailers do this anyway. Once the car was covered with a light coat, I worked on the tires and wheels. 6. Buff/touch up - after half an hour or so buff out with either a microfiber bonnet or a nice plush microfiber towel and then go over it with a detail spray for that added depth. A few things I want to point out. Do tape areas you do not want to get any wax/polish on. I taped off around my windows, side view mirrors, the cut off on my clear bra and badges. Do yourself a favor and buy some good masking tape that won't leave residue. I made the mistake of going cheap on this step and ended up having to clean up a little extra mess which was a PITA. So after about 9 hours and a being sore all over, you've got yourself a pretty well detailed car |
