Hi Guys,
Would like to share a practice work with the community on why you should never rush a paint job.
Below is a spoiler that has heavy oxidation on the clearcoat which should not have happen as the car is only 5 years old and well taken care of by the owner. Note that only the spoiler display such symptoms.
Notice that there is no reflection at all on the spoiler.
A closer look reviews.... scratches.... oxidation and basically the touch feels very rough (rougher than a 2000 grit sandpaper...)
No reflection of the bottle
After 2 pass of Optimum hyper compound with a single sided wool pad. Ada sikit reflection ya
A 50/50 shot.
Macro shot on the inside paint. The basecoat. Notice the amount of scratches. These can no longer be safe as it happen below the clearcoat. Results of POOR PREPARATION during spraying.
Another not so clear 50/50 shot (i am horrible with this camera.)
At this point of time, i find it pointless to continue compounding or polishing the spoiler anymore. Will probably sent it to respray.
This is my first write up so please excuse me for any mistake or unorganized structure.
