Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio New Car Paint Correction Detail

Alright guys, we've got the alpha male in the garage, we're heading here for about an hour warming it up, so what I like to do before I start polishing my hands are perfectly clean. I like to just go over the whole car and feel it. To see if I can feel anything that I may have missed in the decontamination stage, I did see a couple flecks of dirt on the

paint

now and upon closer examination I thought it was something I had missed with the clay, but It's not just a factory

paint

defect. Every panel on this car goes on both sides and I have pretty good lighting here.

It may not show up very well on camera, but very, very good lighting to do

s, bring it back, make it perfect and then we're going to throw some out. Cola Knight now and five on it and protect it because there's no protection on the car right now so let me get ready guys and we're going to get started for you okay guys so we're all set. I have my g15 here orange pad smeared with grill perfecting cream just so you know the hood and roof of this car are carbon fiber and a lot of guys need to understand that when working with a composite panel they have to be very careful, don't exercise too much pressure, don't generate too much heat, you can warp the composite panels, you can start to generate too much heat in a section where there is structural reinforcement and you could reactivate some of the resins with the heat and you could cause the panel to twist, so we have to go very slow and there is another reason why I am using the boss 315 and not my Flex 3401, although we will start at a slow speed. work in two quadrants per side of the bells, we're going to do half here, half here, split it up and then do the other half and that's how we're going to go, so let's see how we did it now there are several marks that I saw on the paint before hitting it with the machine so far it looks like it's gone, that's what we wanted, we don't want to do a heavy cut, it's a new car, yeah, all the etching that was on the clear coat up here is all good Guys, we finished the driver's side of the hood.

I had to change tools to my Makita forced rotation machine. There were a lot of those water etchings that were on the clear coat. We're not going out with the g15 so I switched to this type of white pad and got the quick fix cream just to make this job a little faster so I'll still try to finish the car with the g15 just move it to finish a level, guys, so This is turning out to be a lot more work than I anticipated because the better I looked, the more scratches and things I saw clearly and I had to take out the Flex 3401, so I got the light. to show you, this is the finished front hood, it's perfect and here is the front fender, see how he did it, this should be the final pass, yes, I have all the scratches completely fixed, yes, it looks very good so far, good married guys let's go to the roof of the opera mail right now this is a carbon fiber roof.

I just want to show you how thin and flexible it is, so I'm not going to use a dual action. I don't want any vibration coming in here because the vibration on the thin panel will just transmit it to my arm and cause a total mess. I'm going to use my Flex PE 14-2 lightweight rotary with an orange polishing pad, we're just spreading the product on the right. Now that all the hard water etching is gone, the Flexp 14 is an incredible rotary machine and you have to work fast. You can't stay in the same place while knowing that your travel speeds will be totally different with a rotary than with a double action.

Because dual action is less likely to damage the rotary on a black car, you have to move fast, you have to keep constant pressure, you have to know what you're doing, if you look at that, it's perfect to try to scratch right on the edge here. Total pain in the butt, this was a lot of work and this car was definitely taken to a dealer auto wash by the selling dealer 100% I mean there were so many scratches and you can see the directional location of the scratches from the brushes. a car wash so I had to use the Flex 3401 microfiber cutting pads and the orange cutting pads and we got this car looking amazing right now it looks great so that shows you how fast it goes the car by a car wash could ruin it. very, very quickly, it's the final finish, call one night now and five open a new can from one of my cases.

I'm going to use Degree O dual weave pfm wax removal towels and if you haven't seen my wax removal video go ahead. Check it out. I'll just quickly show you a little bit of the hood, but I'm not going to film the entire car. It will take me forever, but I completely finished painting and fixing this entire car took me about six hours from start to finish. Just because I wanted to get it perfect I did inside the jams the bottom of the car everywhere so now the therapeutic park is to wax it so before I start I always use a new foam pad and give it a quick spray of the fan of the car. double zero seven and it's about 65 degrees in my garage right now because I had the heat on and we're going to go nice and easy so we're going to do the hooded sections.

I'm not going to cover them in one. I shot it alone because I don't want it to be too difficult to remove and I like to go and follow a straight back and forth pattern like the one I'm showing you here. I mean, you guys could do it in swirls, whatever you want. I just like doing it. it's like this: eight nine one five, I think it's one of the best Cardiff based waxes you're going to get and specifically on dark colored cars, it blows your mind with the metals on this car, metallic black, that's what What we want. as for the evaporation time, it's warm, like if I put it on a 4x thermometer on this paint, it'll probably be 60 degrees, there's already a haze starting to appear, which is good.

I don't recommend doing any type of wax application below 50 degrees outside if you can take it into the garage if your garage is warmer that's probably the way you'll want to go so just looking at it right now it's completely cloudy and this car It never had a layer of wax, it's a mark. new car so I'm going to give it two coats all cars will get two coats so we're going to remove this now it comes off like butter and any little residue or stains don't worry about that because when the car is finished I'm going to go over it again new with some new microfiber towels and the double-oh-seven auto fan, we're going to remove all the stains and fine-tune everything between the jams and the corners and that's, oh my gosh, this looks amazing.

On my knees, I'm going to hit it with the auto fanatic double-oh-seven with some new pfm microfiber towels, the blue ones giving it its final finish. The step is to hit it with double-oh-seven shine enhancer and use a fresh pfm. microfiber towel and this will just ensure that you get all the residue or any stray spots from your one night call or whatever wax you prefer to use. It looks phenomenal, absolutely incredible. A lot of work, but the results are worth it. Getting closer to that painting. guys you could see it, you're most likely going to get smudges on the glass and stuff while doing the paint

correction

, that's why this final step is my favorite just to go over all the little

detail

s, okay guys we're done.

I'm done, I spent about seven hours on this today using various machines as I showed you in the video clips. The car was pretty beat up since it definitely went through an automatic car wash, but it looks perfect now that you guys were able to see the paint. you are in direct sun, there are no scratches, there are no swirls, you have seen a reflectivity throughout the interior of the wheels, the barrels are impeccable on all sides, if you have a car fanatic about cleaning wheels, find the final version , so it looks exceptional, so like me.

I showed you guys in the video. I had to use several tools and techniques to make this car. I really wanted to just use the g15 but it just didn't cut it. The scratches were too deep and the cleanliness of this car was a little more difficult to cut. the Gentlemen were expecting it so on the hood I used the makita and the g15 sides of the car I used the Flex 3401 on the roof of the car I used my PE 14 rotating flex and I also use the 3401 on the rear deck lid which had some scratches really serious so I hope you liked this video I put together for you please go to my website Auto fanatic com pick up a bottle of auto fanatic ss7 with amazing magic in a bottle you will love it I guarantee it. and post your questions or comments below if anyone has questions about paint
