Well, I have decided to really detail the car. The paint took a beating from a mistake made when being shipped to the west coast. In short the paint was damaged due to an adhesive that stuck to the car turning it into rolling sand paper. The detail shop did a great job with getting the sand paper off, unfortunately the car has some residue and scratches from the process.
Well I am kind of anal when it comes to my things. Crooked lines bug the hell out of me.
Breaks in the flow of smoothness bug the hell out of me.
So what I am going to do is fill the nics and color-sand my car to a flat and smooth surface. Getting rid of the orange peel in the process as well.
The pics show the nics (white spots).
I have my 2000 grit wet/dry sand paper
Porter Cable and all of the necessary pads
Akyra self leveling cutter/cleaner
3M adhesive remover
My secret waxes and polishes of choice. :wink:
Tooth pics, Needles, Micro fiber towels
And a lot of patience.
I have started with the front end driver side fender and hood.
A few pics will show the nics in the paint and my touch up process. I will update it as I go. I figure, If I mess this up, no biggee, I will get it repainted anyway. What could I hurt?
Here is a link to the pics.
