After being out of the scene for a while, i've got fairly busy all of a sudden. So here you go, a few words and pics about Spec c's noble detail.

When i arrived Steve had the car ready on the drive for me. Steve always looks after his cars (i won't mention how dirty his wife's scoob was though :p although that said i am detailing it in a few weeks time)

Couple of certain area before shots. these were the dirtiest areas and these weren't bad by any means.

After jetting the car down you could see that it was fairly well protected ;)

Then it was time for the obligatory foaming

after the 2 bucket method and claying this is a shot to show the amazing flake in the paintwork and the few swirls that were there

Then after polishing and a coat of menz one step acrylic jacket.

the sexy curves of the car and the light give some cracking reflections and shapes

all done and ready to be driven. i got steve to start it up and the noise kicks a scoobs a$$. as much as i love the sound of a scoob, i'd never get tired of listening to the soundtrack of this beast.

and finaly those couple of areas that i showed at the start after a little attention

You should use it for the commute one day while the weather's good. although not sure you'll get all your stuff in it though :lol1:

That's what i thought. Will just have to tell her she has to keep it like it once it's done ;) rather you than me though. I'm not telling her. or if i do i'll run the other way rather sharpish :lol1:

Nice. Have you found that the foam does f-all if the car is not that dirty? I mean, it won't shift much, so I don't see the point of it unless the car is real dirty. I always maintain my cars to a high standard, so might just use the foam on other peoples' cars when I go to detail them.

It depends what else you add into the foam ;) but yes you will notice a greater effect when the car is dirtier. I will always use it though as it's consistencey in my details and there are some particles that you may not notice on certain colours, that will be removed.

Yeah, it probably does remove some of the dirt, but can't notice it if the car ain't got much dirt on it. I use Meguiars Hyper Wash + Meguiars Shampoo Plus. ;)
