  • JakeWazza Red and White detail by The Racoon

    Arranged a couple of weeks ago and young Jake turned up this morning for a "quick" 4 hour detail.

    As it arrived

















    SurfexHD applied via a foamsprayer





    Rinsed with pressure washer to reveal lots of tar spots which were soon dealt with by Autosmarts Tardis



    Tyres degreased with SurfexHD 10:1 and a stiff brush



    Arches scrubbed with Autosmart G101 10:1 and a stiff brush



    Petrol flap cleaned, again with G101

    Before


    During


    After


    Alloys cleaned with Bilt Hamber Autowheels, agitated with large Wheel Woolie for insides and lambswool mitt for the face.



    Finally found a use for the smallest Wheel Woolie





    BH Korrosol applied to whole car but significantly more noticeable on the white roof and mirrors











    Rinsed but still ingrained dirt on the white roof so G3 Detox clay mitt used and produced this 50/50



    Exhaust tip cleaned initially by an application of Korrosol which shifted a far amount of soot



    Rinsed then wire wooled with Autosol



    Looks better already after "just" a wash







    Patted dry then dragged inside the garage for an application of Red Moose Glaze by a DA with a black pad, buffed off then an application of Sonax Polymer Net Shield added.

    White roof then had an application of Nipponshine Authentic Premium Wax



    Trim dressed with Autosmart Highstyle, glass cleaned with PowerMaxed glass cleaner, tyres dressed with Megs Endurance and alloys sealed with Sonax Rim Sealant.

    End result

        Haha definitely the cleanest she has ever been! Thanks a lot!

        Called in Citroen when I got home about the corroded wheels, they're having someone ring me on Monday.

          Excellent news Jake. Was a pleasure to meet you today and the look on your face with the finished article was priceless.

          Citroen should replace those alloys for you. Don't be fobbed off with any excuses from them. You can always direct them to this forum for back up👍

          This will help:

              Cheers for all the replies guys. White roof was in a bit of a bad state as the dirt was ingrained quite badly and wasn't able to be removed with the Surfex or a 2BM hence the Detox Clay mitt made an appearance.

              Now protected with Authentic Premium, a good 6 months protection for you now Jake😉

                Wow! Andy, you need to set up a base down south! Typically Sod's law, I'm coming to Manchester in August but it will be during the week and my daughter will be with me. Never fail to impress me! It's meant to be so much cooler down here tomorrow I can hopefully tackle my dirty b*$¥%!
