Upon arrival, we were briefed by the owner that the car had gone through some polishing and a repainted rear boot due to a failed orange peel removal attempt.
2015-07-24 10.25.25
From the looks of it, its glossy, but we know for a fact that glossiness is not already the true gloss, especially when its black.
2015-07-24 10.26.01
Immediately, when we were approaching the car, we were able to spot this deep scratch.

“Honda Paints are generally the hardest to deal” is a statement we always hear from friendly competitors. “Black is a hard to deal with colour, swirls are extremely visible on black paint” is also a statement we get from alot of customers. Some consumers are also familiar with this statement. We are here to accept all challenges on black or even on a Honda.
exterior_header
We have with us a Honda Jazz, in black today.
2015-03-22 10.27.50
Due to the inaccessibility of the owner’s apartment, we are forced to bring the work to a rented compound for the coating process to be performed in.
2015-03-22 10.28.18
As we were parking the car into a proper position for the washing to be done, we spot these damages under the sun.
2015-03-22 10.56.33
This is the kind of quality your dealership is providing when they give u a “FREE POLISH” before you collect your car.
2015-03-22 10.56.48
More damages on other areas of the car with halogen spot lights.
2015-03-22 11.03.54
A combination LED and Halogen spot lights allowed us to have a clear view on the paint defects of this car.
2015-03-22 12.08.40
correction_header
We did the standard general cleaning on the car, dried it, and rushed on to the correction. Here is are some Afters.
2015-03-22 12.08.35
The white spots are actually dust from the compouding.
2015-03-22 11.33.23
A clearer view on the panel, swirls no longer dwell on this paint.
2015-03-22 11.32.57
They had combinations of LED and Halogen spots lights for us to use, Hence we are able to take extremely clear shots on the defect free surface.
2015-03-22 11.33.14
Finally a close up on the paint to make sure all is good to go for the coating.
2015-03-22 11.03.49
