Well, my respect to all the auto detailers out there
After many hour of hard work I finally got my G done.
This is my first attempt and it took me longer than what I had anticipated but really happy with the results.

Including prep work and clean up it took me about 14 hrs.

• Wash
• Clay bar
• Prep (tape )
• Swirls removal
• Polish
• Wax
• Clean up

After:














Items used:

• Mothers California Gold Clay Bar kit
• Porter Cable 7424XP
• Menzerna Power Gloss Compound PG-1000
• Menzerna Super Finish Polish SF-4500
• Mothers Natural Formula Pure Carnauba Wax
• A lot of MF cloth

 

Wow 14 hrs? I wish I could dedicate that much time to detailing the car, it looks so nice though!

 

Job well done Gio. Were you able to get all the swirl marks off?

 

Thanks.
All the swirls are gone, I just have to keep them off
There are just a couple of scratches not really noticeable but I didnt want to be too aggressive to try to take them out.

Here is another picture I took inside the garage with the light trying to capture any swirls.

 

Very nice work. What pad(abrassiveness) did you use with the swirl remover?

 

Thanks !

I used the yellow pad for the swirls
White for polish and red for wax.

 

Very nice, does your car by chance have the self healing clear coat?

 

amazing for a first attempt at paint correction.

 

Great job man! The results look amazing!

 

Awesome job, especially because your car is black. I just did my car and it is silver so I can appreciate your efforts. Looks incredible!

 

Thanks.

Thanks.

It does but I couldn't take the swirls any more. I talked to the product supplier and the products I used are those suggested to use for this car.
I'll report back with the paint status in a couple of weeks.

Thanks.

Like I said - my respect to all the auto detailers doing this day-in / day-out. This is a lot of work.

 

wow that looks amazing, wish I had a garage to do this kind of work myself.

car looks great.

 

Great job! Maintaining black cars is a PITA, but they look amazing right after the detail is done.

 

Thanks.
After disappearing for several hours in my garage my wife comes out and tells me "why didn't you pay someone to do that"

Yeup, you can really see the dust now

 

Looks great. Nice job. IMHO that looks like it was worth 14 hours of hard work. Time to start washing with 2 bucket method, with foam cannon pre-wash/rinse and dry with leaf blower. Keep it looking that good.
