HI ALL! This is my first post. Might as well make it a good one.
First off my name is Rich. I am 28 years old and a professional detailer and paint correction specialist. I've been doing this for 8+ years.
I finally bought the car that I've been wanting to get since I heard it was coming out! I got a brand new 2013 Firestorm Red FRS! A local Toyota Dealership had it in the showroom since 2013! Just hit 500 miles! I got a great deal on it since it was the only one they had.
Anywho, This will be about a 30 hour+ paint correction from start to finish. I'll post pictures of my progress. After I'm done correcting the paint to perfection I will be applying 2 coats of CQuartz Finest Ceramic Coating! We'll start with before pictures!!!
This is when I first picked her up from the dealership!
Brought her into work the next morning. She looks so shiny!
Love the beautiful lines on this car..
After a very thorough wash and decontamination process. "Stripping the paint from its dealer applied glaze/wax"
Now you will start to see what I see. and its worse then I thought. The paint has been "neglected and abused" This is the hood. Lots of ugly scratches!
This is the passenger front fender with a "spot" wet sand mark. Look at those scratches!
After evaluating the cars exterior paint condition I am going to begin a "level 2" paint correction with compound and polish. I will update this thread with pictures as I go. Thanks for looking! I can't wait to make this cars paint perfect!
