bought & enjoyed for the spring & summer time, the car was delivered to its new owner the day after i presented it to my customer. Igor is good for a detail every few months. he usually brings me civics, i never had a clue he had this though! he buys & sells used cars.
Igor promised the new owner that he would have me detail it before he gave it to him.
i was upset to find a burn mark on the edge of the trunk lid. did Igor take it to someone else?
or did he buy it like that & not fix it because he only planed to drive the Viper for a few months?
i found all sorts of pig tails with some dull areas & holograms as well.
these types of scratches are curly & circular. they come from using a dirty foam pad on the machine!
all it takes is one little piece of dirt or dried up product to produce these ugly little swirlies called pig tails.
sorry, i couldnt capture the worst areas of the car on camera.
my hand written diagram will have to work lol!
a bunch of different panels had areas where all 3 of these paint defects were found.
the trunk was hacked up the most!

really tight areas that my 4.0" foam pads couldnt reach were compounded & polished by hand.
fender vents, hood vents, around the tops of both mirrors, some areas of both bumpers as well.
i even compounded & polished the door jambs by hand!
lets start this off with the wheels:
used in order from left to right.
thats Prima Wheel Armour on the end.

Wheel Armour left to cure over night & removed the next morning.

thats juan in the background taping up a 1998 Toyota Supra Turbo.
look for the 52 pic writeup of that Supra to be posted in a few weeks.
i did a 2 step rotary machine polishing to restore the red paint from pink, back to red again.
an aggressive polishing step followed by a light polish was done.
i finished her off with a coat of Klasse HG Sealant topped with Collonite 476S
i dont normally do this but heres a few teaser shots of the supra:
maybe this will encourage more readers of my long & awsome writeups!
