L430 severely hacked by a paint chip repair guy. Car was wetsanded in dozens of areas where the work was done. Among other things the Lexus just had some regular abuse accumulated over the years.

Initial condition...





More unfinished sanding spots



Took some readings, plenty to play with



Onto correction :duh:



I dont care what you say, Pigtails are not cute





Cluster of gouges



No need for lights





Long RID'age :help:



After over an hour playing with combos I landed on the following

M105 wool x 1 or 2 (2200rpm)
M105 foam (1800rpm)
203s foam
85rd foam

Some 50/50s after compounding













Just showing the difference in color, still holograms and haze in the polished side after compounding





More sanding spots unfinished



After







Passenger door









I think he gave zero effort on this one :gasp:





50/50 on trunk

 

Finished with Powerlock





Some sun shots










I apologize for the very straight forward writuep, this car took much longer than expected so I did not get a chance to do a more in depth pictorial.

Thanks for looking
