Monkey Detailed 2000 V6

[g36 monkey]

Alright, I don't really have good befores of this one, because at night time everything looks better. The car was pretty much pink, we all know how laser red gets.

Anyhow:
Don't make fun of it being a 4 x 4 or the tri-bar wheels. Needed to correct the paint first. Wheels and lowering is in the works, as well chin spoiler and mach delete and fogs.

Products used:

Obsessive detail Clay
Mothers Wash
Megs 105
Megs 205
Obsessive Details glaze (Smells soooo good, like grapes )
Jetseal 109
Obsessive Details Deep reflections wax - first time using this stuff, seems to look great. Doesn't take a ton to spread it like the CG waxes I've used. Good stuff!

Pics:

Before, you can sort of see the pink ness ha

nice job.., you could have at least washed the wheels.
Any chance you can do anything with the 3rd tail light?

Ha I told him "I'm doing your paint only at this price" so we agreed on it. He could have done the wheels any time ;p
Once I get it to my house I'll try wet sanding the third tail light. I've had success refinishing them before, should be even better now with the buffer

I have the Lake county pads, but Obsessive stopped carrying them for something new. Send him a message and he'll be glad to help you out. Justin is a great guy!

If you go to my www.theragshack.com, enter rag10 in the coupon box at checkout and get 10% off. I carry 6 inch pads and they will work great with a 5 inch backing plate. I also carry the 4 inch pads with smaller backing plate for the tight areas.

Awesome improvement! Lazer pink no more!

 

[g36 monkey]

Thanks for the kind words everyone! This is now the nicest laser red I've seen in person. Every laser red car around here is salmon. Hoping I managed to preserve this one

Good that you brought the color back. I'm not sold on the LSP though.

Ha, my paint is so far gone it's not worth showing you guys cool up close shots and stuff. You would be like "wtf go home"
Thanks Tony!

LSP is Last step product I think, something like that. Basically, it's the wax.
