This is a recent customer's type S. The paint wasn't in very bad condition to start with, but it was showing some age and a tiny amount of oxidation. It had the miscellaneous nicks and scratches and hair line scratches. Everything looked even better once I got it washed with a clay treatment:





Now that the car is clean, I get to work. I start by removing all the deep scratches and paint scuffs/transfers with a heavy compound(or paint leveler) and a synthetic wool pad with my Makita rotary buffer.
After that is completed, the whole paint job gets a polish with a medium polishing compound and a light cutting foam pad. This brightens up the whole finish of the car and removes all swirling from places the heavy compounds were used.
Then I hit the entire paint job with smooth coating glaze on a black soft foam pad to seal the clear and top that off by applying a coat of liquid wax with an electric orbital. Its like sex for any paint job. See for yourself:









Another happy victim of RoadRage.



I know, I know, its not as big of a difference between the before and after pictures as the thread with the big red truck. I know. But if you look at the before pictures, the paint job didn't need that much help to be awesome. All I did was revitalize the perfection. But, you can always look back at the truck and say I can get it good no matter what condition its in.

Well, that's all I have this round. I'll be advertising a little more as I get settled in, but I do work a full time job on top of this so sometimes scheduling can get tight. Anyway, good or bad let me know what you think.

 

loooks goood!

 

Thanks!

 

I see on the after pics, you didn't even wash the wheel well's very good. There is still dirt there

 

That's because he didn't pay me to wash his wheels. This was a paint-only detail. The stock wheels are temporary so he told me not to worry about them. He was just worried about the paint job.
