A BIG Detail on a tough vehicle !!
 
Many of you cleaners and detailers will think that your cars are hard enough to do and I myself have spent days doing various cars, but when some customers came to me asking if I could help them with this one, I was up for the challenge.....


This vehicle has had a hard time over the winter and obviously not been garaged. There was mildrew on some of the panels, dirt everywhere and some dodgy looking bits in the rear parcel shelf !! But since it is an open top coupe, I didnt need to hoover it. Straight onto the washing !!

Luckily I had three keen helpers :D
























The vehicle in question :)

Sorted :thumb::D
They are available on fairly cheap rates, they only require a few fruit shoots and feeding three times a day :D

PaulC72 17 April 2010 10:12 PM

Jaybird-UK 17 April 2010 10:34 PM

Question though, why are they not using the "two bucket method" ?

Glad you lot liked it :D

Ah, the 'two bucket' method' was not needed here, as there were quite a few scratches on the A pillar and on the roof with severe swirling due to some over enthusiastic J turns and the cat lying on the roof :D

A full machine polish would be needed, maybe part II

Though due to the excess water in the parcel shelf, I did bring out the Dewalt drill and make a few drain holes :)

still waiting to be paid :Suspiciou

Fine bit off work there

WRX_Dazza 18 April 2010 09:12 AM

hahhahaha, looks like they had fun :)

beats ploking them in front of a 360, like seems to be the norm these days !!

SwissTony 18 April 2010 09:25 AM

Much better :thumb: They had the Wii controls confiscated to stop them being couch potatoes and a hefty boot up the backside to keep them outside :D

Kids are strange, they moan all winter that they cant go outside and when we have glorious sunshine complain that they want to play inside :cuckoo:

Anyway after their detailing session, they were taken for a bike ride, bit of trampoling and then some rugby in the back garden...funny how when it comes to a physical game like that they ALL want to be on Daddy's team :lol1:

Tomwrx 18 April 2010 11:54 AM

They look a quality team, not sure I could afford to keep them in Fruit Shoots though if they are anything like mine!!

LOL thats great!!

They're bending using their legs instead of their backs so they're far more professional than me!!!

Thought you would like it, I have trained them well :D

Note the use of old manky sponges, dirty PB work towels and the one bucket method. I didn't want to let on that no way were they getting the good stuff :D

They liked the foam :D

Rich @ PB 23 April 2010 02:54 PM

My kids love foaming too... not sure the neighbours feel the same way though!

subarugb270 24 April 2010 08:57 AM
