  • Ça c’est la correction que je recherché!! Mais là quoi faire? 1er, je n’aurait pas assez d’une journée pour tout faire, va falloir que je revienne et de 2, il ne voulait pas payer plus cher qu’un 3-step. / This is what I’m looking for. Great finish! But there’s a problem, I can’t do a 5-step in one single day and the owner agreed to pay for a 3-step not a 5-step.

    Si le propriétaire a pris la peine de wet-sand l’auto au complet, c’est qu’il veut un fini presque parfait non? Alors, je peux simplement pas lui laisser l’auto dans l’état du 3-step. Je décide de procéder au 5-step, sans rien charger de plus, car je suis là pour faire une belle job après tout, non?! Puis, c’est noël hen!!

    So I’m thinking.. if the owner took the times to wet-sand his whole car, he might expect a near-brand new finish no? I decide to go ahead and do the 5-step, without charging anything more, because I’m not a business, I’m here to do a great job, that’s the ultimate goal. Make sens? And it’s Christmas for Christ sake!!

    Voici l’aileron, il n’y a meme pas de cire! / See how wet the wing is, there’s no wax by the way.

    • Les pipes étaient pas juste sales, mais les contamiments avaient collés à l’exhaust, alors j’ai du prendre la clay bar pour vraiment ramener son shine d’origine / Those exhaust pipe were dirty, I needed a clay bar to remove everything and bring back the shine





      Le toit / The roof:






      Polissage des lumières arrières / Tailight polishing








      Leve le coffre pour pouvoir polir en dessous de l’aileron / lift the trunk so I can polish under the wing.



      Puis, c’était le temps de tourner l’auto de coté, Avez-vous le shine?? Le rouge est vraiment foncé, WOW! En passant, ya pas de cire encore./ I had to turn the car other side so the sun was there and took the times to take 2-3 pictures, Have you seen how dark the red is and the wetness, I love it!! So nice. By the way, there’s no wax yet lol!

      • Maintenant, on tourne l’auto de bord et on refait la même chose. / It’s time to turn the car and do the samething on the other side.













        Voici une demonstration du 1-step. Soit en fait un compound. Je prend la peine pour montrer ceci car beaucoup de gens m’envoye des PM pour me demander combien coute un compound et à chaque fois, je dois leurs répondre que si je fais un compound, j’ai pas le choix de faire au moins 1 ou 2 autres étapes pour améliorer le look. Sinon le résultat sera décevant. Un compound est beaucoup trop aggresif pour être un 1-step!

        I took the times to show you the paint after the compound (the first-step of my 4 step process). You can see it’s still hazy, there’s lot of circle scratches. To conclude, it doesn’t look nice. This is to show to people who send me PM wondering how much it cost to do a compound? I always answer: You won’t like the result of a compound if you don’t finish with a polish. A compound is simply too rough to achieve a nice wet finish. Just a quick head-up.





        Je pense qu’il va être bon pour un shampooing moteur et polissage des lumières au printemps! / I think i twill be a good idea to do an engine wash and headlight polish.





        J’ai fait ça sans faire exiprès, mais je trouvais ça drôle LOL!



        Tout est fini! Regardez bien comment le flakes pop et le wetness de la peinture! / Everything is done, take a careful look at how wet the paint is and how the flake pop out of the paint.





















        Le test de la lumière / The spotlight test!












        A+ et n’oubliez pas, si vous avez votre garage et aimeriez avoir votre auto toute shiny pour le printemps avant tout le monde, n’hésitez pas!!

        See ya!! And if you have a garage and would like to have your car shiny before everybody, don’t hesitate!

        • Cette passat me rappele le temps où j’ai travaillé chez Vokswagen, je peut pas dire que j’ai adoré, mais au moins, j’ai fait l’expérience des dealers. D’ailleurs, j’aimerai dire que la Passat est de loins ma voiture préférée de cette marque.
          So here’s how I got the car :






          My usual washing process;

          Rinsing the car:


          Foaming the car:


          While the sud is taking care of the dirt, I’m prepping my wash bucket with my sea sponge:


          See how useful is the 2 wash bucket technique!?


          While I was doing this, I also let the Sonax wheel cleaner work his magic on the rims. When sprayed the soap is green. It then turn purple at the contact of brake dust




          This brush is perfect for cleaning inside the wheel:


          After washing the car, I then clay the car:


          I then clean the engine bay:







          After, I do the interior first in order to try to have it dry when the owner come back.

          • Before:









            In order to clean leather, I use a dedicated leather cleaner with a natural hair brush that is soft enough to not damage the leather.





            Cleaning using various brush:


            After:

            Conditionner have been applied and UV protector on trim.























            So nice, I could put 3 hockey bag lol!

            • Applying the tire gel :


              Polishing the windows before Aquapel:

              Removing the Niquet sticker:


              No sign of it:



              And now pour la pièce de résistance!

              Wax used :










              Polishing the taillight as usual.

              • I must start by telling you something I didn’t know before I start polishing the car and fin dit myselft because the paint didn’t respond like a normal paint.

                Repainted parts on the car: bumper,hood,trunk,side skirt, driver door, 2 frotn fenders.

                Guys, when you have repainted parts, please tell me! This is absolutely the worst paint I had to work with this summer. Period!


                Enuff talking, let see the outcome!

                Before:



                Too bad the exhaust has been polished with a steel wool too aggressive.







                See the MAJOR oxidation right there.


                And trunk..


                Foaming the car using a special more aggressive solution.


                Une neige!!


                Cleaning wheel with Sonax wheel cleaner and boar hairs brush.


                J’utilise une autre brosse pour alle profond dans le rims.


                Clay bar time! C’est vraiment pas si mal,

                I saw a lot worst!


                Le bumper arrière avant.





                Engine wash:

                Tu as oublié une guenille mon ami hha!




                After :

                Engine is always protected and treated with anti-static and rubber conditionner.

                • Misc. detail:

                  Cleaning badge and removing compound at the same times.




                  Grill..


                  Polishing by hand between door handle.





                  Polishing by hand under the wing.


                  Windows polishing every single glass on this car


                  J’applique le traitement Aquapel.


                  High quality Wheel sealant to protect from brake dust and give it a nice shine.




                  After-shot:

                  Every showroom detail get a sealant before the wax. Some might know, sealant is suppose to be anti-static and should look glassy but, for me, it wasn,t the case, have a look..

                  Tous mes details showroom obtienne un scellant avant la cire, on dit qu’un scellant n’attire pas la poussière et donne un look vitré, ce ne fut pas le cas.

                  Here’s the dust 12 hours after the application.


                  Glassy look.




                  Alors, j’ai pas le choix, je sort mon duster avant d’appliquer la cire.

                    Exhaut tip poli, mais comme je disait, c’est dommage pour la laine d’acier.


                    Est-ce un mirroir ou une porte!?



                    Et oui, c’est bien une porte!

                      • À l’origine, nous avions planifié un 1-step, voire un 2-step. Finalement, je suis resté là 12 heures sans même arrêter pour manger. Un méchant make-over, mais c’est tellement une voiture rare et si belle en noir comme ça, je devais faire un traitement digne de la qualité de la voiture.

                        Treatment :

                        Wash using ONR
                        Clay bar
                        4-step.
                        High quality Wolfgang Fuzion Estate wax.

                        Look how ‘’trashed’’ that car look: Mega swirls, some RDS, water spot etched in the paint, clear coat is highly oxided which make it look ultra-fade or white chalky. Picture do justice to the car haha!





                        Faded clear coat. Voici un excellent exemple d’un clear coat très oxyder.



                        Water spot etched : Le calcium de l’eau secher à pénétrer dans la peinture.




                        Oh and Ultra-faded Trim!!!






                        • * Clay-bar *

                        Have a look at how much stuff I picked up just by doing the hood!





                        Now the paint is ‘’ clean’’ but it doesn’t mean it *really* look better than before, times for some serious correction.
                        Maintenant que la peinture est nettoyé grace à la pâte d’argile, je peux attaqué la peinture.

                        • Correction *

                        Mesure l’épaisseur avec mon paint gauge. On peut voir qu’il y a de grand écart de peinture. Va falloir faire attention!

                        I gotta be careful since some panel have twice less paint than other panels. Not that it’s dangerous but still I have to be more careful!


                        And after-polish close-up : See the before and then see these pictures. MAJOR DIFFERENCE.







                        I bet you couldn’t even guess that paint had metal flake by looking at the before pictures haha! I didn’t either.

                        Je suis sur que vous ne saviez même pas que cette peinture avait du métallique bleuté en voyant les photos before haha!

                          Molding:

                          Wow those molding were ultra-dry and faded. So I went ahead with my special treatment that last month instead of week.. my little secret

                          Les moulures étaient si-sèches et blanche, je ne pouvais les laissé là, ça n’aurait pas été un vrai detail sinon! J’ai appliqué mon traitement secret qui dure des mois au lieu de semaine. Voyez la différence.

                          And now.. the reward!














                          Wheels were also detailed.







                          Xtreme wetness right ?? As-tu vraiment plus mouillé que ça comme effet haha?

                          You can also see that the wheel well are also detailed.




                          See how epic that garage is haha! 5.1 sound system with lots of space. Best garage I ever worked in haha!
