Dan's Garage - Black MPS Paint Correction/Protection - Slixx

[Caffeine Fiend]

This weekend was spent working on Slixx (Peter's) Metallic Black Gen II MPS. This is one of the best metallic blacks on the road and it was a pleasure to bring this one back to where it should be

This one involved Paint Protection also, so it took place over two days.

Total time taken - 16.5hrs over two days (12hrs Day 1, 4.5hrs Day 2)

Products used - IronX Decontamination Spray, PoorBoys All Purpose Cleaner, Flex PE 14-2 Rotary, Ryobi RO, Optimum Hyper Spray Compound, Optimum Polish II, LC Orange CCS Pad 6" (x2), LC Orange CCS Pad 4" (x1), LC Kompressor Orange Pad (x1), LC Tangerine Pad, LC Red Finishing Pad, Prima Amigo, Prima Epic (2 layers), and Banana Gloss

Looks awesome as always Dan, i'm not familiar with the products you mention are some of them doing the same thing as a clay bar and pre-wax/polish cleanser would?

Hi Mate, thanks for that


In this case, there wasn't much need for a claybar as the paint surface didn't have much in the way of oxidisation, so I comfortably skipped that step and went straight to correction

The IronX is a decontaminant which for this car I used exclusively on the wheels to remove ferrous particles (brake dust etc). The PoorBoys APC was used under the guards

Everything else used was paint correction or after

Amigo was used as the pre-protection polish/glaze

This is my favorite shot, looks like the surface of a still pool underground in some cavern. Amazing effort... As usual.

Cheers guys

Yeah Mitch, love the tiles. Make things so much easier to keep clean

I should also add that Pete's stereo install looks first-rate. Just wished I had more time to play with it other than the 30 sec backing the car out of the garage
