PANORAMA Sunroof REPAIR-CAR RESTORATION

[@tanker242]

Finally... Someone on KZbin is recording how to repair crazing (cracks) in poly panoramic car roofs. Many cars have these. The only way to fix is to replace or... Maybe sand/polish/wrap or clear?

[@ashleystratton352]

what a legend you are mate well done, the roof looked brand new again.

[@Amddetailing]

Tnx my friend

[@jimmydesilva]

Thank you for the detailed video. It's the best tutorial I've been able to find so far for this specific problem! This should help me a lot. :) Great work, keep it up!

[@Amddetailing]

Tnx bro ,enjoy😉

[@ЙорданГеоргиев-ф9м]

true !

[@mgrella63]

Smart should replace all of these roofs you did a Beautiful job on the roof!

[@cHiNeSeKiDDD]

How has the car lasted since your worked on it?

[@michaelmcclure4263]

Amazing work, beautiful results!

[@Amddetailing]

Tnx

[@Duje-z1i]

What did you use for polishing these side small plastic? Did also require sanding? After sanding a roof, should i just polish with 3m paste or something else for poly plastic ? Great video & result !!! Well done

Hvala prijatelju

[@Matt_3535]

Perfect result, hard-work, congrats

[@davidhunn5111]

An absolute amazing result. I would have never thought it possible. You give me inspiration. Can you confirm that the piano black plastic side trims were sanded in exactly the same format? ie Hard interface, 150, 320 etc - 3000?

[@Amddetailing]

Yes

[@RyanMonoxide]

Just picked up a 2008 passion model yesterday. The roof is pretty bad as expected. As someone who has done a little bit of paint and bodywork and plenty of detailing before I will definitely be referencing this and trying to replicate the results. It’s going to be a daily driver so I’m not looking for perfection but any improvement would be great. Did you polish with regular paint polish and a DA buffer for the final stage?

[@MrMr123]

I wish you would have taken a video or image of looking through the roof from inside the car and how you did the black plastic body covers

[@Amddetailing]

You have in my fb Alen Tataragic

[@RobertoNelook]

Very nice project and results. I will do my roof also next month. I have a lot of Rupes equipment available.

[@Amddetailing]

Good luck with your work and get ready for a lot of nerves hehehe

[@DronePlayground]

Brutalno 👍👀🇭🇷

[@Brillantisimo]

Beautiful results!! Well done ✅ That roof need to be protected with ppf already?

[@Amddetailing]

Yes

[@tanker242]

I have a Prius V with a massive panoramic roof and the whole thing is crazed. I didnt notice the problem until i bought the thing but it looked like the previous owners parked outside alot. Ive been worried about if i could sand/polish most of it out then clear the rest/wrap it.

[@randycampano7498]

Awesome job !

[@dminkovzaitsili1593]

That turned out awesome! I just got one question though, so from what I understand you used cheap paper from 150 grit all the way up to 3000 grit then you started with the kovax paper. What grits of kovax did you use and did you finish with the 800?

[@Amddetailing]

Kovax 800 1200 1500 2000

[@tanker242]

You really should have cleared it with 2 part urethane clear coat. That "cracking" known as crazing is use to UV damage. You need to put a UV resistant layer up there every few years in order to protect it from the sun. In your case since you already got a glass looking finish a clear paint protection vinyl wrap should protect it for 5-10 years.

[@expert20valvehlx]

Svaka cast

[@tanker242]

Do you think K grit is required or could i jist keep moving up to P3000 and so forth.

[@ChrisBrown-ux8jn]

Great job but you didnt show the polishing stage. What did you use etc.

[@Amddetailing]

I used it as in all my videos where polishing is shown, which is: ewocar heavy cut compound with roto machine and wool The 2nd hand is a dual machine with a medium spring and the 3rd hand is finished with a soft sponge and Gyeon Primer finishing paste

[@leahscott2890]

what did you use to polish it? also is there any kind of protectant to prevent this from happening to my roof?

[@Amddetailing]

I use Ewocar product and protection ppf

[@CrustyRestorations]

Looks great, will be doing my roof aswell. Has the same issue. How did you finish? Polishing pads, foam, or wool, polish type? Thx

[@Amddetailing]

If it is the same roof, it works in the same way

[@CrustyRestorations]

@@Amddetailing Thanks. Great work. What grade paper did you finish to get the high gloss finish?

Excellent job as always how long did the roof take ?

[@Amddetailing]

2 days

[@MilosPile]

Bravo

[@MJJCvideo]

Great work👍

[@MrMr123]

Shouldn't you shoot a clear coat over it like the head light lenses so it doesn't yellow and prevent the UV damage

[@uptowndisco2]

when did Smart change to Plastic roofs ? my older 2006 450 , has a complete glass roof . thanks

[@High-Performance-IQ]

They did it with 2nd generation (451) because of too many shattered glass roofs in 450...

[@sasamilojevic46]

Svaka čast 🙏. Koje kombinacije paste inpadova si koristio kod poliranja?

[@Amddetailing]

Ewocar gruba i fina sa vunom i srednjom spuzvom

[@TheJetcon]

What about sanding with a rotary sander ? I don’t understand when you said I didn’t have to paint the sunroof , if you painted it it wouldn’t be a see through would it ?🤔🤔🤔🤷‍♂️

[@Amddetailing]

the coating is tinted and painted without any problems, the pure color is not painted

[@TheJetcon]

Ok , so it’s clear coat with a tint in it ?

[@tanker242]

Also P800 and k800 can't really be compared directly. The K paper actually sands like a much higher grit similar to P1500 or P1000.

[@worksmarternotharder1215]

How much do you charge to do that on a Prius

[@Amddetailing]

250 eura

The panoramic roof material is polycarbonate not plastic. It is a harder material than plastic. Know your material makes a difference in how to restore its finish.

Yes

Why not use a soft pad like you would on a normal curved body pannel.

[@mohannadhunaiti9444]

Which polish you used on the last step?

[@Amddetailing]

Ewocar compound

[@kevinscott2200]

I never saw finishing,compound polishing etc

[@Amddetailing]

because the theme of the video was repairing damage by grinding, and it was polished with roto wool, ewocar compound and later with dual action as a finish

[@Nightelfmusic]

Can we have a 3 month update?

[@Amddetailing]

PPF foil is used as protection, so there will be no problems

[@duckboy6866]

Ppf folija gde se stavlja sa unutrasnje strane ili vanjske strane ?

[@Amddetailing]

Pa sa vanjske da ima smisla sta zastiti
