Finally had some time to do a paint correction on my hatch. Black is the worst color in the world (as most of you know) for showing everything. I think it turned out pretty darn well. Car was repainted a couple years ago and the CC was pretty soft so I was able to get about 95% correction out of it. I used SIP/orange on bad spots but mostly SIP/white followed with 106FA. Didnt get pictures of everything (and I'm not the best at capturing the detail) but you should be able to see what i got out of it. I'm pretty happy myself!

Some attempts at reflection at dusk, i wish I was able to get it in full sun but oh well:

 

looks great. gotta love black rigs. i have been told the black pad can leave some micromarring behind depending on the paint. when i detailed my 97 ek it did, so i went from 106ff/white pad to 106ff/blue pad and it turned out great.

did you do anything to the rims?

 

damn looks good. im planning on getting the LC pads as well and using some poorboys SSR2.5 for mine

 

No i didnt really in the pics. I guess i could've called it a "paint correction" rather than detail. However i do use P21S wheel gel for cleaning. Typically do a Meguiars NXT wax on them and Meguiars High Endurance gel on the tires.
