  • Maserati 4200GT Paint correction detail

    Postby Envy Valeting » Sun Nov 13, 2011 10:49 am

    A thorough swirl mark removal/paint correction detail was called for on this Maserati 4200 GT, and Envy Valeting were only too happy to help :D

    The car was washed via our usual process ie wheels with AS smart wheels, AB Purple rain and the trusty Envy brushes and Vikan new soft wheel brush.
    Time for the snow foam, this one is a trial version.

    Looks a bit thin but actually cleaned very well despite appearances. The car was then hand washed with the two bucket method, a Z sponge and a trial shampoo we had a sample of.

    Image

    The car was then clayed with the Meguiars grey clay and there was a lot of contamination present.

    Once claying was complete it was time to measure the paint and find out what we are dealing with before machine polishing the beast.
    Highest reading.

    The polish/pad combo for the 2 day correction detail was Scholl Concepts S03Gold edition, and a Meguiars yellow pad. Refined with S30.

    Here are some pictures of the 2 days polishing, both befores and afters.

    De dusted with a LW mop.

    The paint was then sealed with a coat of GC Jetseal and waxed with 2 layers of Swissvax Scuderia. Tyres dressed with AS Highstyle, tailpipes polished with wire wool and Autosol, glass cleaned with glass green, interior hoovered, leather cleaned with Dr Leather leather wipes etc etc.

    Please enjoy the afters

    Yeah the owner had paid for a smart repair, but as you can see it wasn't very "smart" at all. Still polished up ok at the end.
