This PT Cruiser had it all... swirls, scratches, road dirt, tar, you name it, sadly the finish was neglected badly. as you can see in the pics, the finish neededsome help. after claying and using a solvent to remove the tar, I started my trusty cyclo buffer and a cutting pad and my cleaner polish. I could not believe my eyes how well it cleaned it up. this shows how you can attain different results just by going to a machine. the owner thought I switched cars on him, Gary

THAT IS AMAZING! How did you get out those scratches? I have long scratches and chips in my hood from the morons that ahd the car before me...and when i wax it you cant see the scratches unless you hover over it with your reflection...but that pt is worse than mine....tell me how you did it G-man...

Ok I am definitely booking appointment with you! How far are you booked now? I am in the west suburbs.

My appointment schedule is kind of tight. you need to e mail me asap and I can give you first available, you are looking at June 19th as of now, by next monday it might be later. here is my direct link to email Gary gary@perfectautofinish.com

dual action random orbital buffer with the paint polish

I dont sue machines, can you achieve those results by hand?

But i mean, i want to learn to use one...im not knocking them...but ive seen people do serious damage and im hesitant to practice on my car..

Thats not a paint disaster!

Now that's a paint disaster! /crocodile dundee :p

That's the roof of my Lincoln and I get to try to salvage it as best I can later today. It's gonna need a repaint... :mad:

MONS PUBIS! That is one f'd-up roof. Best of the best in getting it presentable.

the process I used on that PT was.......
hand wash/clayed/ wash again
Use my Ultimate paint cleaner with Dual Action cyclo buffer (yellow pad) cutting pad, followed with my porter cable buffer same product and a polishing pad, finished with my paint sealant. when buffing you can achieve different results just by changing pads. the reason my cleaner/polish is so effective is because it deep cleans (removes fine scratches and other blemishes,) while it also has polishing oils in it as well. Best..........Gary

Incredible. Gary, I got your PM but I can't reply because I have less that 50 posts. I'll call you at your shop this week.

Ken

can you achieve results like that by hand G-man?
