Default Detailer's Domain: Techart Magnum - Paint Correction

This is truly a rare breed. We put 20 hours into this one. Just about everything was done to this one, full interior, engine detail, full exterior paint correction.



Heavy swirls, scratches, holograms galore. I believe the customer was pretty happy with the grin on his face.



What was done -

Exterior



- Wheels were prepped with Sonax Wheel Cleaner and cleaned up with various brushes

- Tires were spritzed down with Adam's All Purpose Cleaner and washed down

- Wheel wells were cleaned up

- Wash down and rinsed

- Door jambs were cleaned up

- Clayed

- Dried

- Tires dressed

- Masking

- 3 Step Paint correction (Meg's M105, Something being tested ; ) )

- Inspection with Fenix, 3m Sun Gun, Infratech, and natural sunlight

- Last Step - Swissvax Shield

- Rubber and Plastics Treated

- Exterior windows and mirrors cleaned and sealed

- Exhaust tips cleaned

- Windows were clayed and sealed
