    Hey all,

    This black XK-R took me around 14 hours to finish- client had requested a full correction after initial inspection of the heavy amount of defects.

    Correction was performed with my Flex DA/ PC DA, M105 via yellow foam and finished down with Sonax's Perfect Finish on green foam. Sealed with Menzerna Powerlock.

    Correction level achieved was 95% and in most areas around 100%, other than a couple deep RIDS the clear was flawless afterwards :)

    Befores:

    Decon wash performed with CG citrus wash and clear/ Dawn mix- Sonax on the Asanti wheels- heavily soiled areas pre-sprayed with Megs APC @ 3:1

    Beautiful Forged Asanti's, loved how they fit perfectly with the mesh grille/ painted hood vents

    50/50 taped up to perform a test panel- M105 on an orange foam didn't cut it well enough for me- yellow foam took down everything- Sonax Perfect Finish finished this soft finish down perfectly and cleaned up all the compounding haze effortlessly.

    Heavy defects visible underneath garage lights and under natural light as well

    Menzerna PL applied, glass cleaned in and out, OPT dressing for the tires, 303 on all the other trim pieces/ rubber pieces.
    Asanti wheels were cleaned with Eagle One NVR dull wadding- wiped down with ONR, then finally wiped again with a dry, plush MF towel.
