2003 330 hood save

tdekany · 02-22-2011, 10:50 AM

This vehicle received a full detail. The left rear panel had some etching on it that required more work than the hood but I didn't bother documenting it due to lack of time. After HD UNO, the car received HD Poxy.

The hood was repainted. Who ever did the work didn't care about quality at all.

I was asked to look at the hood and decide if it needed a repaint or if wetsanding it could bring it back to life.

I really didn't feel like sanding that day so I started compounding with HD UNO

Here are the results:

Right side is done

Left side before

50/50

Tape removed right side done

Left Side before

50/50 from the left side

ALL DONE!!!!!!!!! As you can now see, the orenge peel has been reduced to normal (maybe a little less

) while clarity and gloss has been improved
