Jetfueled C230!!!
Well, I dont know what else to say besides...."gotcha" so how many thought it was going to be a modified c230 mercedes running jet fuel??? LOL
This thing was parked a for a few years while the owner worked at the airport, uncovered. And now, it sits outside 24/7 about 2 miles from the airport! Its going to be a never ending battle with fallout!!!
and the afters...more gloss, 99% fallout removed after 2.5 hours of claying (it was all over the car), and 7 hours total for an overall cleanup with a one step polish, one wax, full claying! the haze you see is from the clouds moving in and creating condensation on the car...at 3:45pm! Ridiculous! I was really disappointed I couldnt get better afters!
In the words of the owner..."looks better than when I got it!"

Yikes!!! It's always fun to clay for hours....not. Great job on getting all the contaminants out of the paint. I can get an idea of the overall work by seeing the rear license area.

yeah its hard to show on white, with the clouds, at dusk...LOL I wasnt really going for correction at first and then plans later in the night canceled, so I chose a different route for the one step, and it proved to be a good one!
instead of poliseal on an orange pad, I went SIP on a green uber pad! with the rock hard paint, and it being white, it worked out well!

I didn't know you did it with the red bar....that paint must have been awful. 2.5 hours with the red bar is like 5 hours with the blue. Hopefully your client now knows to keep his car in better shape. I never understand why people let their nice cars get this way. At least cover the thing if you know it's going to be out for that long. Anyway, hopefully you educated this guy Eric and he appreciates the work you did.
