Black CL7A Ultima'd

[Coltagious]

This car to me, is a classic example of soft honda paint at work. Just about 6 mths old, washed once a week or two, either by the owner or hand wash at petrol kiosk, "protected" by an am**ing PPS after collection, was found to have tons of scratches or wash lines all over the car. check out the following pics:

Bro, after your magic touch, this ride's paintwork is like kena 'Re-Born' again

Some of the after pics do not tell the full story..... Although they look very clear, there are still some stubborn lines which i could not remove after 2 rounds of buffing with powergloss and cutting pad on a rotary and decided to take whatever improvement i got.

Bro,mai la.. for me as long owners are happy can liao..I am lousy in photo taking,even the pics of the colt plus and berlingo are taken by Imuya..

Process is as follows:

 

1) Wash n clay with Durogloss shampoo

2) Rotary with Green LC pad and IP

3) Rotary with Orange LC pad and IP

4) Rotary with White LC pad and PO106FF

(Steps 2-4 on horizontal panels, 3-4 on sides, front n rear bumpers used PC instead of rotary due to the sharp angles and small areas)

 

Finishing:

 

After a rinse to get rid of all the polishing dust, the car was hand prepped with Ultima's Paint prep plus. I had quite a bit of problem using tis product as it refuses to be wiped off easily no matter i use a dry or damp applicator pad.

 

After i was done with the prep, i applied the Ultima Paint Guard Plus (PGP) with a dry MF applicator pad. First time using as well, the instruction says to use a little and it goes on easy. However, i had some problem checking which area i went to before and ended up with a bit of streaking prob. This is a "Spray, wipe on and walk away" product, but i had to do a bit of final wipe after an hour of drying before applying a 2nd layer.

 

Here's the pics:

i have the same problem with Z-CS,used little and apply with an applicator.Under the shade,it look ok but went expose to the sunlight,ice-cream everywhere..In the end I used a QD to go over again..

 

I think dark color are more obvious,Bro Marcos are using it with no problem..his is a light green.

I used ZCS like a quick detailer instead

Great Job.

Looks like I have missed your Wonderful

Photography skills.

 

Too bad your Cam is gone.

Else I would have been on Headlines.

Thanks bro I'm flattered

Yes bro, this PGP and Optimum's Opti-seal may work better on lighter colours. I tried both the ultima and OS on half of my ride each and had to go over the whole car with a mf towel as final wipe.

 

Although that defeats the purpose of such products, the time taken for that extra wipe is actually very short cos a few light swipe solves the streaking prob. I felt that qd was not required. Was worried that a qd might compromise the protection.

Hi bro, thanks for your compliments. It was really a pity my cam did not work that day. Did you take any pics of your car? You might wan to post on this thread if you like
