Some fun with the DA

So the new cars paint was not in the greatest condition, swirl city but the most annoying part for me at this point was the yellow tinge to the paintwork, after a test section on the bonnet I realized just how discolored it was.


The challenge: 5 hour time limit (time is an scarce commodity with a 4 month old in the house)

-Started off with some foam and APC mix
-Washed using 2BM
-Dried with waffle weave towel
-Clayed horizontal surfaces with Sonax clay bar
-Taped off rubber and badges
-Test spot - LC Orange pad and Menzerna PF2500, was happy with the results so used this combo around the vehicle.
-Wiped clean with IPA
-Sealed with Optimum Opti-Seal
-For good measure a little coat of Petes 53 (the best smelling product I have used to date.

Always enjoy spending some time with the car, had to leave a few areas (interior, wheels etc) as mentioned the aim was to minimize swirls and brighten the paint.

Please note I am by no means a professional =)

Some pics below, sorry being under time constraints pics are limited.
