Volvo XC90 - Rare Color - 03-10-2010, 12:29 AM

I was told that there are only 800 of this color.

I will not bother with the interior.

This was very hard paint. What ever 2 passes took out came out. Rst is still there, but not very noticable.

The hood has some etching already that I didin't address. Compounded it as much as possible.

CLAY
HD UNO/105 MIX
EZ CREME GLAZE

During





DONE!

Why is it that every car you post looks like it has been repainted afterward???

Great work.

Proper polishing is the key. I use the same camera, however soetimes I do auto on the before pictures. Manual afterwards, but sometimes I do take them on Auto mode as well.

Thanks guys!

Great work as always!

This looks exactly like Nautical Blue which is a color that Hyundai offered only on the 2006 Santa Fe. Very few were sold and it was introduced late in an already short model year.


2010 Hyundai Santa Fe - Harbor Gray

Even sometimes I, in a moment of what could only be described as pure sanity, question the rationality of this obsession.

After re-reading my original post, it might seem like I am insinuating that you are playing with the photos. That is NOT what I meant by the post. I just meant the transformations were great. Sorry if that cam off the wrong way.

Damn I love that color. Great job. Probably my 3rd favorite SUV/Crossover on the market.

Reminds me of Indigo Ink Pearl they used on RX300's a few years ago.. always loved that color... great job!


"One day you will have to stop being a Muppet...So take the hand out of yer butt and walk for yourself."

Claying does not mean "High end". It means quality/caring. So would actually learning a trade instead of "Hey I can wash and wax a car, so I'ma gonna be a detailer."

Jared - I know what you meant. I was just being a smart a$$.

Thanks everyone!

While working on the car I had a feeling that for the first time I am not making a difference look wise as the color once it was washed "looked" pretty good. But after stepping away from it for a few minutes to pack up my stuff I say the changes. Very nice color indeed.
