    Default Clay Bar + Banana Gloss + OCW = Result! - 56k unfriendly...

    Had my car subjected to a little special treatment today from MISSMPS. I don't keep my car detailed, but it's normally clean-ish. I tend to use car wash cafes a bit, so heaps of dirty scratchy cleaning sponges etc have hit my paint.

    I've got scratches all over it, stonechips and it had never been clayed or fully detailed, even when new. Rather than me chat about it, lets look at the results of today's efforts by MISSMPS using Megauirs Clay Bar, Banana Gloss (from ZAS) and OCW (edit: from Final Inspection).


    What we started with - one Aurora Blue 3 MPS.



    Looks OK but the paint is quite dull...the difference is more visble when you see MISSMPS's car nearby



    Here's a look at the scratches on the bonnet, hope they're visible in this pic.



    After one coat of Banana Gloss, we ended up doing another.





    Paintwork after OCW



    The finished product after OCW and tyre black etc.



    Missy's car didn't escape the treatement. Pov Pack Vs. Fat Pack.



    Shiny Fat Pack wheels



    Another angle

    MISSMPS side on



    End of the day drive to show off



    Thank you very very very very very much to MISSMPS for basically doing all of it! And to Mr. MISSMPS for tolerating us taking up his front lawn all day...

    The car now looks the best it ever has, motivated to keep it this way too

    Note to NASA :

    This is the sort of attention you get when you get decent pics

    These were taken with a Canon PowerShot A530 (5 megapixels) on "Auto"...think the camera cost me $180 a few years ago...

    The only edits were crops, nothing else.

    Pretty much, running some Photoshop action on the raw shots we got today would result in press ready images. The ISO is a tad high in some (as you can see above) and the lighting is slightly off (was high sun angle), but just shows that with imaginative angles and awesome subjects that photos can look good straight out of the camera.
