Wet sanding the clear on a car fresh from the factory to get rid of the orange peel? First time I've heard of that...

But I've seen the Bora project thread before. While I do admire the work he put into all aspects of the car, some things like claying the inside of the rims is a little overboard for a daily driver. And why clean a rim before its refurbed? Isn't the point of having it refurbed, to bring it back to "new" condition?

chetrickerman

wow. that guy is extreme.

lol. The endless cleaning ... and in the end, he drove his clean car onto a dirt road to take photos. I never drive my car onto anything dirt.

Yes, in fact I am. Though I did not need to go to that extreme of a clean process.

we actually have a DIY on that in the DIY forum on this site of a guy removing orange peel on an RX-8.

Yea, hence the comment. The wetsanding I've seen and heard of being done for scratches or like on the "super" detail on the vw, just never to get out the factory peel.

Personally I'd hand it over to someone else to get the peel out, as I don't even have a PC, let alone a rotary, nor the experience to do it without burning through the clear.

Yea, I'm sure that alot of us would detail in a way to get scratchs and what not out of the paint. buff etc.

He just seem to be very **** about every freaking thing on the Bora, like he even took apart the little switches to clean them.

Or maybe he just made it seem hardcore because he listed every detail out onto writing...who knows.

But I'm impress by it, that's all

worth whatever... one time a year ... after winter when my baby is feelin sad n salted.

I also think that job lifted the resale of that car by 2 - 3 K....

I feel the same way...

Maybe for private sale, but as for trade in, as long as the car is generally clean your not going to get any more for that much detailing.

I attempt to be that crazy. I have the equipment. But usually end up skipping steps somewhere around vacuum... boars hair.... re-vacuum.

I use to wax my car every wash and I can tell the owner of the car I have now never waxed the car. Time for clay bar

its so facking hot in vegas, its frustrating to wash the car because our hard water dries so quickly, then it leaves nasty water spots super easily. I have to wash side, hood, roof/trunk, side all seperately just to keep the water from drying. its a pain in the assss :P
