Summary:
The vehicle appraisal revealed various defects in the Crystal Galaxite Black paintwork including fine scratches, numerous wash swirls and smears below the clear coat. Correction was carried out using a RUPES LHR 15ES and LHR 75ES Mini for the curved areas both with a combination of either Koch-Chemie H8.02 or F5.01 on Kamikaze Collection Banzai Dynamics Polishing Pads. Following correction the paintwork was refined using Menzerna Super Finish Plus 3800 on RUPES Ultra Fine Finishing Pads. Prior to the application of sealants, the paintwork, wheels and tyres were treated with Gtechniq Panel Wipe, a slow evaporation residue remover to eliminate any polish residues that if left in place would interfere with the bonding of the various coatings.

Final Finish Products Used:
Kamikaze Collection Zipang Coat (durability guaranteed for 24,000 miles)
Kamikaze Collection Stance Rim Coat
Kamikaze Collection Kiwami Tyre Coat (professional only)
Gtechniq G1 ClearVision
Colourlock Leather Protector
