In the fall, I applied a self-healing coating to this car, you can find the original post here. Now that spring is closing in, it was time for a clean-up. The car has been well cared for, but the owner did take it to one touch car wash inadvertently. Fortunately, the self-healing coating took most of the brunt. No polishing was necessary, the coating was corrected with the help of a heat gun and IR lamp. The car also had a bumper to bumper accident. Literally, the owner hit a loose bumper on the road! The Xpel Ultimate PPF took much of the damage, but the bumper was left with a 6-faced crack and the PPF was penetrated and started peeling back. To reduce the appearance of the defect, the loose film was cut back on the car, this is not advised unless you are sure handed and patient enough not to cut the paint.

Process

Prefoamed with Angelwax Fast Foam

Mechanically decontaminated with traditional clay bar
