well as the first show of the season was today i thought it only right i pulled my finger out an deswirled an cleaned up the scooby so 6.30am i was up an loading the car up to take to my mates warehouse.

some pre clean shots:




so first was getting the wheels off an cleaning them with a weak mixture of bilbery as they have had a coat of ag ,hd an a coat of pb wheel sealant before they were fitted 2 weeks ago plus cleaning up the arches an brakes with surfex hd:


then it was onto the foaming, which bh autofoam was used left to dwell for a while then pressure rinsed off.

then washed with the 2bm using dodo juice btbm shampoo, then rinsed off an into the warehouse ready for claying using bh soft clay:

this was the clay after almost all the car was done.

then back out for 2bm wash an rinse again,an back in doors for drying ready for inspection,drying was carried out with some help from dodo's time to dry an a couple of sonus towels.
some pics of defects:



before:

after:

after several hours polishing i then added a coat of poorboys black hole as this always seems to look nice when applied to dark cars in my eyes then onto the wax which on this occassion was swissvax best of show so here is some after pics






polished with menzerna 85rd on a megs finishing pad an cleaned with menz final inspection
tyres dressed with megs hot shine an trim an arches dressed with cg trim restorer

Thats a fantastic result fella.

I think you should be sending that to Polished Bliss for their monthly prize entry. Surely a contender.

May I ask, did you use a machine polisher or was it done by hand (the polishing stage)?

I ask as I have some Menzerna intensive polish and a Lake country cutting pad which I hope to correct some of my 205's paintwork with - but by hand. If I could get 50-60% of the results you have (on graphite grey paintwork), I would be a very happy chappie

 

hello mate it was done by machine megs g220 an by hand you will struggle how bad is your paint have you any pics?????

 

No close up's sorry.

Read the review here and it seems approx 80% is achieveable by hand. I don't mind putting the elbow grease in if I achieve a respectable outcome.

 

Reminds me of how clean my car is

 

hio there could you tell me what the clay does i have never used it on mine, and do you get differnet grades of it, what did you use, regards
