    Lets be honest here. Not all details is about a flawless finish. Not all customers are willing to spend huge amounts on their daily drivers. We understand that.

    This client found me on Rennlist, biggest Porsche Forums and contacted me about doing his used but new Rangr Rover. He explained to me the problem with the paint and he knew what he wanted and I wanted to be sure that I have him what he deserved.

    The procedure was simple, attack with his budget for 1 step correction.


    Washing and decon.....

    Products Used

    Dawn ( To strip wax )
    IronX and Nanoskin Towel
    Madness wash mitts
    Woolies
    Daytona brushes
    Sonax Wheel Cleaner a full strength

    Correction
    Flex3401VGR (The warrior)
    CarPro Flashpad (HD Adapt)
    Refine with LC white pad (Reflect)
    IPA
    Finish it off with Pinnacle Souveran

    After all the washing was done, I then pulled the car inside. New client happens to own big warehouses, so I had an entire warehouse, to work on 7K square feet. Made my shop look super tiny. Lol

    You know, at far away it does look glossy, let gets a little closer.

    Yeah, that's how bad the paint was.

    Moving on, now stay with me.

    Usually I bring an extra Light Pod but I forgot mine on the shop, as the one I had the bulbs went bye bye, so I had to improvise. I used my car to help me with the procedure.

    After

    50/50 followed by Reflect

    Turn the lights on and let the horror begin....

    After (cutting step only) still needs to be followed by Polishing.

    Excellent results for a one step!!! I've heard nothing but positive feedback about the flashpads and it looks like you got about 90% correction on this one! Great write up.

    well done, nice work and write up. That warehouse is the bomb and a great location for detailing. Obviously you're proficient with the Flex 3401 DA.

    Thank you. For productive detailing, the Flex3401 is a must. Don't get me wrong I have Makita and the Rupes system as well for perfect corrections or long term corrections.

    Yes the warehouse was nice to work and already made him an offer. I have just got my detailing shop, but I am steady in the talks with him for expedition. Next year for sure.

    The Flashpads are a gamechanger. It's amazing how much correction you get out of them. Not as a flexible as the MF pads but in terms of how fast it corrects due to being so firm, it's amazing. CarPro once again, came out with something amazing.
