Club Detailer

Currently i'm the clubs detailer, i know my fair share about paint, clearcoat, iteriors and making your car all show ready. This may also act as a FAQ section.

Also once i save up enough money i will buy more detailing equipment, and will offer my cutting/buffing/polishing services

Alrighty, quick question for ya then, my FD came with a cloudy CF hood, I've heard wetsanding with 1000 grit and some elbow grease buffing and polishing should shine it right up. Just wanna make sure this'll work before I go and attack my hood with sand paper (even if it is only 1000 grit).

Can you post a pic?? That will work w/ the 1000 grit, as long as you follow with a wool pad and/or foam pad, then polish/wax of course. I would avoid using the sandpaper if possible because we're not sure of the condition of the clearcoat and how many times its been cut and buffed already. Thats what i can tell you for now, i'd be able to give you a %100 answer if i knew exactly what it looked like. If i had my buffer and my pads i'd show you or do it for ya!

alright well I should be at the meet tomorrow night so I'll let you take a look at it then. My phone ain't gonna show crap haha, especially in the dark right now.

His clear doesn't look bad. I'll buff it up for him and we'll see from there.

trust me man my trunk lid is cloudy ive delt with carbon fiber alot it needs to be recleared

I may just paint it, though not try to match it, I'll come up with somethin interesting. I mean hell, its just paint. Never been a big fan of the CF anyways.

yea not a bad idea!

A hood Polished up by a guy i know named Ty who owns a detailing company. Pacific Auto Detailing. This is a foggy carbon fiber hood after a quick buff job. So its possible.

So when i get my buffer i can still take a look if you want!

yeah my trunk is cloudy
