Took a stab at paint correction

[SWO Daddy]

On this glorious federal holiday, I took a stab at paint correction. I bought my 07 4.8i a few months ago and though mechanically sound, she was in need of TLC. Long list of thing's to do and I'm glad I finally got to this.

So first thing I did was wash her with Meguiars gold class with my foam cannon. Followed that up with a good claying. Should have taken a pic of the bar after I was done... I'll just say the bar that started a bright yellow was a dull yellow/gray when complete.

I then broke out my new harbor freight dual action polisher and went to town with Meguiars M105. Arms were feeling a little tired but I then polished the whole car again with M205. Arms were jelly now.

I then rinsed the car off to get all the polish/compound dust off. Then sealed the the whole thing with Hydrosilex ceramic coat.

I have to say that she turned out pretty darn good. Not perfect, but I'm not a detailer, just an avid DIYer. Satisfied!
