Premium Detailed Black 1993 Mazda RX-7! -

I detailed this Black 1993 RX-7 about a month ago. The owner is the neighbor of my girlfriends parents. After asking me questions after questions for about two months he finally called me to schedule an appointment. After having looked over this car on several occasions I came to the conclusion that a 1 step correction is all that was really worth being done to this car. The car was in horrible shape and really needs a repaint! There were water spots, swirls, RIDS (random isolated deep scratches), oxidation, and just about every other defect you can think of. After trying several polishes I settled on Menzerna PO203. This made the paint look much better. I only detailed the exterior paint, no glass, no wheels, and no tires.
Exterior paint:
Presoak with Dawn
2BM Wash with Dawn
Dry with the Absorber
Clay with Pinnacle Ultra Poly 2 and diluted ONR as clay lube
Polished paint with G110 and LC orange CCS 6.5” and 4”
Sealed paint with Four Star UPP
This is what the car looked like when I showed up.
Now to start the detail with a Dawn presoak
The paint was in horrible shape, but it wasn’t too contaminated.
Now an inspection after wash and clay
I am positive that at this point you understand how hammered this paint was!
