  • Non DS3 visitor To Racoon HQ

    This beauty arrived this morning at 10am













    First 2 hours spent on the interior, leather cleaned then fed, all carpeting mats shampooed then wet vacced, all plastics dressed with Carpro PERL to leave the interior looking like this







    Roof folded back then all rubbers sprayed and agitated with Autosmart G101. Other exterior places also treated with G101





    All rinsed off then attention turned to the wheels.



    Firstly a spray of Sonax Full Effect Wheel Cleaner was applied to each alloy, left to work then pressure rinsed off with no agitation whatsoever.



    Then each alloy had an application of BiltHamber Autowheels agitated with medium and small wheel woolies then face with a faux lambswool mitt



    BiltHamber SurfexHD 1:5 then applied to tyres with a stiff brush



    Autosmart Tardis then applied to remove the tar deposits



    Pressure rinsed to leave this



    1:5 dilution of BiltHamber SurfexHD then applied to bodywork by way of a Hozelock pressure sprayer



    Dirt dropped onto floor



    Rinsed then a 2BM lambswool wash with G3 detox shampoo.

    This was then followed with Autosmarts clay towel and Optimum No Rinse (ONR) as a lube



    Exhaust tips then needed some attention

    50/50 with Britemax Twins and wire wool



    Exhaust tips finished



    Whole car dried with Serious Performance Uber Ltd Edition drying towel





    Now brought into the Racoon cave to view the paintwork under the leds







    Yellow pad with Meguiars Ultimate Compound





    Slight scratches



    almost all gone now



    All bodywork corrected then wiped down with Soft 99 Silicone Off



    In preparation for Autofinesse Ultra Glaze applied with a red pad



    Buffed off then wax was applied, Soft 99 Authentic Premium



    Front windscreen deep cleaned with Glaco compound in preparation for 2 coats of rain repellent. All other glass cleaned with PowerMaxed glass cleaner



    To leave this

      Hope so too Mark. Gave the lady owner some tips and advice on products to buy to ensure it stays tip-top. Her husband wants his brand new 530d doing now after seeing these results 😉

                  Funny you should say that; the recent Kawasaki Ninja detail ensured it sold for a £1000 profit. Owner bought it for £3k, big Racoon detail then sold for £4k.

                  Amazing the difference, 8 hours of work can make.

                    Great transformation :bow: That was properly minging beforehand.
                    Couple of questions.

                    How often is it safe to use Megs UC by hand?
                    How does that clay towel compare to the G3 clay Mitt?

                      Would say the UC, every 6 months and the towel is great as it can be folded into 4 squares which each, are roughly the same surface area as the G3 mitt. Equally as effective as the impressive mitt. If you have a mitt for use just on your own car then stick with that pal👍
