Having received some attention in the bodyshop and leaving it in what can only be described as buffer trail hell, it was booked in with myself over 4 days.
(Pic Heavy.)
Upon arrival.
Firstly started with the alloys, arches and trim, all cleaned using various brushes and Megs APC,
Engine bay also cleaned using APC and dressed at a later date,
Foamed using Megs APC through the lance,
After 5 mins or so,
Rinsed, washed & clayed using the normal methods,
Defects examined and paint thickness readings taken,
Some before and afters,
Tried various combinations and settled upon Fastcut+ on a Megs Cutting pad, most panels needing several passes,
With the cutting stage complete, the vehicle was brought outside and dusted down,
Refinement was done using Menzerna 203s on a Sonus SFX polishing pad,
With the polishing complete, the vehicle was re-foamed and rinsed down,
Paintwork treated to Zym@l HD-cleanse and followed by 1st layer of Zym@l Vintage, this was left to cure whilst other areas were treated,
Alloys sealed using Poorboys and Opti-seal to the inner rims,
Outer rim polished using Britemax metal duo,
Tyres dressed with Zaino Z-16,
Plastic & rubber trim treated with Blackfire gel,
Shuts polished with Prime,
Wax removed and vehicle pulled outside for attention to the interior, Vacuumed, leather cleaned & fed, plastics wiped down with APC, carpets shampooed and LCD screen cleaned with special lense cleaner,
Leather aroma pad popped under the seat,
A second layer of Vintage applied and removed,
Glass cleaned and sealed,
At this stage I still wasn't completely happy with the finish to the bonnet, so area were covered and a final polish using a finishing pad & 3m Ultrafina, pre-cleaned and re-waxed,
Exhausts polished using Britemax easy cut and final shine, inner pipes polished with the help of Dremel like polisher,
A final wipedown with Zaino Z-8 and finished.
Results.
Thanks for looking and many thanks to David for the pleasure.
