Please note this is not meant to be a DW style write up, just a quick post on how dirty the car had got and some products used.
So the the car is now 4 months old and has done 3,000 miles, i cant believe how dirty it had got! The day I got the car it was washed, clayed, given 3 coats of AG HD Wax on the bodywork and 3 coats of Colly 476 for the wheels even before it was driven anywhere!!
Last week I noticed the car was looking dull and on washing there was loads of tar and tree sap. As side note I didnt really rate the AG wax, wasnt very durable and didnt provide much to the finish.
So new clay, Werkstat Acrylic Kit (Expensive but heard good things from DW for white cars!), Iron X and a few other bits were ordered.
Before .......
So using the below plus millions of MF's, pads, buckets etc set to work
Car was washed and rinsed twice (2BM etc etc etc) and then set to work with the IRON X, not used this before much better than AS Tardis but my god the smell!!! I like the way it runs purple on the contaminants, there was alot!!! Car was then washed again!
Car was then clayed. I wasnt expecting that much after 4 months and 3k but this was after front windscreen, bonnett and wings.
Doors and sills were bad too................
Car was washed again leaving this.....
Finally the Werkstat was used .... firstly the Prime then the sealant and final wipe down with the gloss. So far very impressed with the kit, I would recommend to anyone with a white DS, might be £60 ish but finish is superb adds alot more depth to the matt white (alot happier with the colour now) and it will last ages. Yet to see how durable it will be. The pics below dont really do it justice (taken with Iphone & light wasnt great!)
Next morning it had rained over night
