    Default Detail - 2011 Kia Sportage

    Hi Folks.

    Got handed a 2011 Black Cherry Kia Sportage with some serious scratching and dealer detail fail to correct.

    Just so some of the pictures make a bit of sense, Black Cherry is a midnight colour, with a medium brown base coat, mica intermediate coat, and a black tinted clear coat.

    This is quite simply a nightmare colour to work on as it shows everything, and I mean every little thing.

    20 hours of solid work later...Let the pictures begin.


    Some nice delivery holograms


    This car was covered in swirls and scratches...


    at this..


    Much better


    Bonnet first pass with compound...Errr no, time for higher cut pad


    Bonnet second pass with compound, Crap photography aside...Niccee


    After finishing polish


    Sealed and waxed...


    Front door corrected


    Back door corrected...So much for holograms


    Best shot I could get of the roof after sealing and wax...stupid high cars


    Expected drivers side bling shot post sealing and wax....Very happy owner, very stuffed detailer lol

    Pretty funny, all I'm seeing is pictures of a messy garage, its ceiling, oddly shaped bent chairs.

    That's a top effort Jas, the only way I'd own a car that colour, would be to have it detailed like that regularly.

    Thanks mate.

    Sadly the owner of that car had it keyed yesterday...The day after I detailed it.

    Very annoyed owner and detailer.

    Scum. Unfortunate side effect of telling the world you care about your car by keeping it clean and in good condition - because some low life deadbeat who is angry at the world for his own reasons knows its going to hurt you more than most when they drag a key down it.

    I feel for him - I had three panels done on my old skyline. And for what. I hope someone drags a key through their eyeballs.
