Rolls Royce Drophead Coupe Correction
I did this car when it was new a little more than three years ago and have not done it since......well it picked up some "Patina".
27 hours later the vehicle is restored to "As new", below in the first pick is when I worked on the car as it was delivered new.
Here it is three years later.......
As the car came in at noon, there was no shade and now the weather is getting warm here so I wiped down the finish and decon/clayed with the wash reserved for after the compound stage.
The brightwork on the car was in horrible condition and needed a few hours just to correct this part of the car alone.
After......
Right side of brightwork before.
After.
Clarity restored....finally.
Trunklid compounding step 50/50.
Top right rear quarter before, almost looks like I sanded it......but I did not.
After compound step.
Entire trunklid cut.
Passenger door 50/50.

Even on the lower rockers there was marring.
Correcting the rocker.
Pic tells the story....(Hammered).
Compounded and leveled.
Left rear quarter.
After.
Someone else had been here(Holograms a plenty....).
They always comeback....... on the evening of the second day it was wash time to remove dust/polishing oils etc..
Back in the shop after the final rinse.
Even the custom made frame was marred and dry.
Compounded and polished, ready for final polish and sealant.
A few LED pics after IPA before LSP.
Filler panel area finished down.
A few interior pics, no befores needed as it was not that bad.
