  • The Racoon is back..... Quick de-ming and alternative to snow foam

    Car at the moment is naturally looking dire.















    A garden pressure sprayer containing a 1:10 ratio of Bilt Hamber Surfex HD. Spray onto dry car as a pre-rinse and leave to soak.









    Rinsed with jet wash leaves this finish. The bodywork at this stage has NOT been touched at all with any cloth or mitt whatsoever.









    2 buckets with grit guards to be used with the fantastic CarPro Merino wool wash mitt



    Choices of shampoo



    Decided on



    Shampoo added to water, not the other way round and then frothed up with the jet wash





    Waxtec Fall Off brushed onto wheels





    Car washed then dried using drying towel of choice, Wooly Mammoth





    Bit of attention to exhaust tip, again with Surfex HD, this time undiluted with some ultra fine wire wool









    Quick detail on car body using AF Finale and a brand new de-tagged Kirkland MF cloth





    The king of tyre dressing Megs Endurance and Perl for trim applied with cut to size sponge applicators



    50/50 using Perl



    50/50 using Megs Endurance



    To leave this













    The supplies











    Thanks for having a mooch

            I'm really happy with the garage guys, everything I need is to hand and always left where I leave it.

            Thinking of some more shelving as got even more detailing gear to store.

            I also have a signed Dave Prowse (Darth Vader) episode 4 Star Wars framed A1 size cinema poster coming on Christmas day so that will be getting pride of place.

                No worries pal, anytime. Already got Daron booked in the New Year as well as a 2013 plate RR Sport and a 2008 AM Vantage so when you want a detail menu sending, just send me a PM

                        I bought garage shelving from IKEA and I think they still do it. It's modular and really good stuff.

                            Mines a much heavier type - you buy the verticals and shelves separately.
