Well I received a PM out of the blue on Thursday from Matt who asked about the possibility of when I could book his car in for a detail as the swirls and little scratches were doing his head in and he needed to fall back in love with his car again. No pressure then.
As luck would have it and to Matts surprise, I was able to jiggle things around and get him booked in today for a stage 3 detail with a machine correction.
Here's how it looked upon arrival at 9am this morning
Tyres scrubbed with
BH SurfexHD and stiff brush
Wheels cleaned and all brake dust and contamination removed with
Autosmart Wheels and BH Autowheels using Wheel Woolie and lambswool mitt
Degreaser applied via a pressure sprayer with
BH SurfexHD
Wheel arches cleaned with
BH SurfexHD and long handled brush
Paintwork clayed and washed with
G3 Detox Clay mitt with G3 Detox shampoo
Pat dried with Mammoth drying towel
Fallout removal with
BH Korrosol
Rinsed
Pat dried
To leave it looking like this prior to proper led light examination for swirls and defects.
Exhaust cleaned with 0000 fine fine grade wire wool and Autosol
Before
50/50
After
Into the cave to be inspected under the lights and out of the hot sun. Swirls, dulling of paintwork in 2 areas and some overspray on the rear offside panel. Definitely time to start the machine polish.
Started with a Megs MF cutting pad with Megs correction compound but needed a bit more so moved up to orange pad and Megs UC. Much better on the black paintwork.
Red roof which Matt admitted to never polishing needed a green pad with Megs 105. Lots of dead red paint removed and swirls removed.
Before
After
After the full machine polish, the car was wiped with Silicone Off then Wolf's Chemicals Carnauba Glaze and an LSP of Sonax Polymer Net Shield.
Windscreen treated with Glaco Rain repellent, tyres dressed with Angelwax Elixir, alloys sealed with Sonax Wheel Rim Sealant, trim dressed with Carpro PERL and all other glass cleaned With Carpro Eraser to leave this result
Amazing flake pop
I hope you have now fell back in love with your car pal??
Thanks for trusting me with your pride and joy Matt
