I would have almost rathered this roof be EPDM so that I could have the experience of handling something so trashed. But I'm not here to complain about dirty surface materials.
Today and tomorrow's big project. The goal for this job is to absolutely perfect the paint on this car. The front end (hood, fenders, and bumper) have paint protection film installed, so that saves time. As it stands now, after 5 hours, the compounding process is done. Tomorrow will be polishing, ceramic coating, and interior.
All before shots of the swirls.
I generally carry halogen lights for this work, but they weren't showing the defects on this paint.
Found some overspray.
LED lighting would end up being the way to go.
Getting there...
Overspray reduced, but not yet entirely removed.
Again, a wheel 50/50. These will also receive a ceramic coating treatment.
After the half way point of round one.
This wing is in my way. I'm not very happy with it.
