I had a slew of cars thrown at me over the last couple weeks from SR Performance. I do a lot of work for them once they are finished with the mechanical fix ups. This car in particular is their shop car theyve had for a few months now. This car has a GIANT single turbo setup with a built auto tranny(not familar with the exact model-maybe turbo 400??) and also is equipped with a full COBRA IRS rearend. Doesnt hurt to make 600+WHP and never fall out of boost with the auto!! Its like a rocket when you peg it! There is no doubt it is definitely a fast car, but it definitely needed some exterior loving!!!!

When I first started, it was covered in dust and sand so I had to be very careful washing it.

 

I started with the hood to see where I was going to stand, it had a fairly hard clear and I ended up having to use a Burgandy wool with M105 using the KBRM to remove the defects. This was not a factory paint, nor a good quality one, but I was able to clean it up pretty decent for what it was.

Can you say Brillo pad??




Now can you say VOILA!!








And finally, the entire hood finished.

 

I then moved onto the rest of the car using M105/Burgandy, M105/Polishing Pad, and M205/Finishing Pad.

Lovely works, red always pay to machine polish

 

Your right, I love polishing red cars! They just come back so alive!

 

I wish you could do my A4! Its red and loves a good wax. Too bad your probably way out of my price range, especialy since you'd have to travel. But I'd appreciate any tips on getting of those hairline scratches out that plague red cars, or anything your willing to give up! :P

 

Your going to need a G110 or a PC dual action polisher, several pads(I would start with Orange or white on your car) and a polish. I stick to Meguairs or Menzerna, both are about $50/quart.

 

Thanks for the information. I really appreciate it. I'll look around, any sites you suggest buying my detailing equipment from?
