Polished Bliss®: Porsche Panamera & Nanolex...
This was the latest car to join us on a maintenance plan - a 6 month old Panamera 4 in for an All Surface Protection Detail and the full Nanolex treatment:
Knowing how we all like more pictures and less txt we've tried to get as many pics in to do the talking so I don't have to, so on with the detail
Thorough pre-rinse of the wheels and arches first:
R222 wheel gel applied to the wheels:
Agitated with RG brushes and Wheel Woolies:
Then rinsed:
Autosmart Tardis next:
Tyres and arches sprayed with Meguiars Super Degreaser and agitated:
Super Degreaser was also sprayed onto the engine bay and under the bonnet:
Rinsed off with medium pressure with temperature at approx 60 degrees:
The car was then foamed with Meguiars APC (60 degrees):
While that was dwelling on the car the 2 buckets were filled, one with Meguiars Shampoo Plus:
The car was then rinsed thoroughly at high pressure:
All exterior trim and door shuts etc were then cleaned with APC and a RG brush...
Then it was time to wash with a Lambswool mitt and 2 buckets:
Out with the Tardis again:
As you can see, this was a necessary step on this particular car!
Make sure to do the whole car, not just the lower parts of the car as the Tardis will remove other organic contaminants as well:
One last job before moving the car inside - Iron-X was applied to remove some light iron contamination:
This was worked in with a MF towel and then rinsed off.
The car was then put inside for a small bit of spot claying and then dried off with the Black Baron:
A Full IPA wipe down followed and I then began to apply Nanolex Professional to the paint, including the door shuts etc:
The heater stays on while this is done to help with the curing of the Nanolex:
While I was doing that, Alan had removed the mats and was working away on the interior:
Seats cleaned with Swissvax Leather Cleaner and Brush:
APC on all plastic/vinyl surfaces:
Mats cleaned and then protected with Nanolex Textile Sealant:
Seals conditioned with Swissvax Seal feed:
Engine bay dressed with 303 Aerospace Protectant:
Wheels were also sealed with Nanolex Professional:
Tyres dressed with Swissvax Pneu and then worked in with a Pneu Brush:
Nanolex Premium Glass Sealant was applied to the exterior glass after it had been thoroughly cleaned with Nanolex Premium Glass Cleaner:
The engine bay was then wiped down, tailpipes polished and then the car was left overnight to fully cure.
And here are the afters
Thanks for looking, up next will be a few full correction details I think
