Ok to start with. the wheels. Car was jacked up sided by side and the same process was completed per wheel.
Removed wheel. (Took me 45 min to remove the O/S rear as it was seized.)
Washed front and back using BH Sufex HD Degreaser inc tyres front and back.
AS Tardis applied and worked a treat as you can see by the pics.
Rinsed and given a quick dry.
Then front and back clayed using Megs quick detailer and elite medium clay
Dried again.
Polished front and back using GTechnique P1/ C4 polish compound Using MF pad and DoDo Juice buff Daddy on a 5" Autoglym compounding pad.
Buffed off using a MF.
Then sealed the wheels using GTechnique C5 wheel armor. wiped off immediately as per instructions. (Knocked over the bottle and waisted 70% of the stuff. £27 down the drain!
All shinny and new looking. Some of the scratches on the rear alloys where to deep to remove and will require a wheel refurb but dont see the point to be honest. (Bloody transport delivery drivers that dont give a monkeys with the retaining straps/Buckles.)
Next was the caliper and hub.
Cleaned using BH sufex degreaser and Tardis. Once wiped down the caliper was sealed with the wheel armour again. Looks like a decent result. Arches are getting cleaned with Sufex and treated with Areospace 303 but doing that when washing the car at work as i can use the industrial pressure washer.
Then was the exhaust polished using a selection of wire wool and autosol. Looks allot neater now.
Some pics below.
Tardis doing its thing.
Nice and clean after the claying.
C5 works well on the caliper
Exhausts all shiny
Sealed them using BH Autobalm.
I hoovered the fabric roof as its been windy and blowen loads of dust on it. Look at the kack that came off it in the hoover.
More to come.
Sorry pics are poor due to iphone camera. SLR batteries where flat.
