chino's disasterous sti paint! 56k diaf

well, all i can say is that this car was a mess. i NEVER thought white paint could look so bad :jawdrop:! it took me 2.5 hours of claybaring to get the car where i wanted it before polishing. came out phenomenal in the end after 6 hours of my magic :wink:

:bigclap:

wow, job well done sir :tup:

The car came out good! What were the spots in the before pics? The gf’s car also has them all over. What took them out? This is going to be a task im not looking forward to taking care of.

i want to call them rust spots but i dunno what the hell to describe it as, claybar worked but it took FOREVER to get it all out

Yea they do look like rust spots and i will agree they are a pain to get off. Ill have to pick up some clay bar and go to town the next nice day. The spots are starting to bug me.

wow
Great job man

i was there… and i can vouch for that…

jesus. my audi needs you.

wowwwwwwwwwwwww…

nice job!!

PMed.

that looks awesome, nice job!

very nice :slight_smile:

what are the rust spots from? brake dust, thin paint…?

its called rail dust… when the cars get put on the trains during there transportion process, the dust from the rails stick into the paint(hence the poly sideskirts havin rust on it…), and after purchase of the vehicle over time they cause rust in those little spots because the rail dust rusts… claybar is the best way to go at them for removal…

good job… i love detailing white…

Rail dust, enviromental contaminants, fallout…small pieces of metal that will embed itself in the paint and the particle will then rust…

Mine looked similar after the winter, and it took just as long with the claying…I used 2 clay magic blue kits but one would have really done the job fine. UGH what a job… hopefully with a few good coats of wax now it will not build up so bad.

:bigblap:

looks awesome dude

nice work

It does also come from the brakes, its even worse if you do live close to train tracks, also if you dont want to destroy a clay bar or spend 2+hrs next time, fall out remover or wheel acid work just as good and takes about 10 min lol. But reguardless one hell of a job! :tup:

Very impressive work.

im not very fond of that stuff and tend to stay away from it, id rather spend the time with the clay

Looks clean, now go hit cones with it. :stuck_out_tongue:

Looks great, love the white STI’s.

whoa - last explanation for the rust spots i would’ve come up with - interesting stuff…
