Started at 9am this morning when Jimbob arrived as arranged and finished at 4pm
Car as it arrived:
Love these alloys even though dirty:
Swirl city:
Following procedures then took place:
Citrus pre rinse with Demon Shine Rapid Dirt Shifter
Wheel-arches cleaned with Rapid Dirt Shifter and stiff brush
Rinsed
Snowfoamed with the rather excellent Orchard Autocare Cotton Candy, dirt simply dripping off the car:
Rinsed
Washed using Farecla G3 detox shampoo with Carpro Merino wool mitt in 2 buckets
with grit guards
Rinsed
De-tar with AutoFinesse Oblitarate
Fall out remover with AutoBrite Purple Rain, amazing results from the white roof:
Clay with Bilt Hamber soft clay, this was just from the front n/s wing; most of the car was in this state:
Rinsed
Wheels cleaned and fall out removed using Hot wheels Wonder wheels, rinsed then
cleaned again with AutoFinesse Imperial
Tyres cleaned with Bilt Hamber Surfex HD and stiff brush
Washed again using Farecla G3 detox shampoo with Carpro Merino wool mitt in 2 buckets
with grit guards
Rinsed
Patted dry with Chemical Guys Wooly Mammoth drying towel
Machine polished first using Dodo medium pad and Scholl A15 compound to tackle swirls
and light scratches, didnt make much of a difference so pulled out the Dodo heavy cut pad with Scholl S3 Gold:
Machine polished using Dodo finishing pad and Clearkote Moose machine glaze
Permanon Aircraft sealant applied with lint free cloth by hand
A LSP (last stage protection) of Dodo Juice Supernatural Hybrid
Tyres dressed twice with undiluted Carpro Perl
Wheels sealed with Planet Polish Wheel Seal and Shine
All glass sealed with GTechniq G5
All exterior trim and plastics protected with Angelwax Elixir
Exhaust tip cleaned with fine grade wire wool and Bilt Hamber Surfex HD, sealed
with AutoFinesse Mercury metal cream
Da dar, a simply slick DS3 now ready to put a big smile on Jimbobs face.
Just as slick as mine now:
Tired and with a sore back now but to see the look on my fellow members face at the end was totally worth the effort.
Hope you enjoy it JB?
