G.K: Tuscan Tvr

Jayplay · 02:27 PM

This car is driven all over Europe once a year and cleary showed as it is ridden with stone chips and was in dire need of some tlc. Owner is having the front end resprayed in coming months so stone chips were left untreated. vehicle was badly swirled and lots of holgrams were visible.

Firstly wheels were cleaned with As smart wheels and a assortment of brushes. Inner's were covered in tar and theis was removed with AS tardis

Car was then foamed and washed with SV Autobathe then clayed with SV Paint rubber and last touch as lube. Dryed with Sonus drying Towels

Paint was measured with the positest 200 and showed very low readings with most panels averaging 60-70 microns. Some of the rear panels had been resprayed

Defects:

Most polishing was done with Menz 106fa and few panels were hit with Menz 3.02. Due to the low paint levels some remaining defects were left. This was then followed up with Megs #80 and then SV cleaner fluid by hand and finally a coat of Divine.

Afters

Wheels were cleaned with SV cleaner fluid and then coat of SV Autobahn

Tyres and wheel arches treated with SV Pneu

Exhausts cleaned with SV metal Polish and carbon polished with and then a coat of wax

Due to the lower paint readings only about 85% correction was achieved but still a great improvement.

thanks for looking

Wow what a great detail!!!!!
What composite is the body on this car made of?

its made of fiber glass Fminus
Half way through first pot.. As its a very hard wax you tend not to use much. I apply by pad instead of hand aswell which results in using less

Ooh what a vehicle and talk about curves...man if that thing had any more curves I would have a hard time choosing between my wife and that vehicle hahahahaha

Seriously though, that vehilce has some incredable curves. The correction turned out quite nice, just curious what pat did you use? The readings were quite low too, see aren't you glad you have the PosiTector 200

it comes in handy.

Oh man your lucky, you get to use Tardis. I tried getting some but the shipping is really tight, it has to be a certified shipping company to pack it and it can only travel via air to get to Canada. Rich is still working on getting me some Tardis but till then I can only dream of using Tardis

Vehicle looks great Jayplay, thank you for sharing
