Just finished a detail on the new daily so thought I'd share a few pics, the sides of the car in particular were annoying me with the swirls and marring. I assume washed in a hand car wash previously,
Managed to get some space in my mate's unit (he installed PPF
www.autofx.co.uk). With the ever changing weather, it was really useful to have some indoor space and the ramp was a godsend for polishing the lower areas.
Started early on saturday morning, car really isn't that dirty as I've hardly driven it since working from home -
Started with the wheels and arches:BH Surfex in the pressure sprayer, BH Auto Wheels & a bucket with Adams shampoo. I had to use a mixture of brushes due to the wheel design - EZ Wheel Brush, Wheel Woolies and Wo Wo Wheel Mitt for behind the spokes. Surfex applied to the tyres and arches with the very handy 90 degree Nilfisk attachment -
Then rinsed the whole car and got BH Auto Foam ready to soften the dirt & bug splatter -
Adams shampoo & the WM2 wash mitt minimising the damage during the contact wash -
Then a hit of ironx & Tardis, very little reaction as you can see below. Either polished before handover or due to the fact its only done a few thousand miles since new -
RInsed again then pat dried with the Kiln Korea drying towel
In the unit was a blaster sidekick so had a go with that for the first time, very useful for drying up the alloys!!
Followed by a mid polish picture showing the ramp in action and the car taped up with the 3M blue -
It was really hard to get 50/50s on the paint and I only really have a video to show it. However in picture form, the gloss B pillars were by far the worst -
50/50 - Menzerna SF4500 & a green Hex Logic spot pad -
Finished -
.
The bulk of the paint was hit with Menz FG400 & green hex logic pads, it was then refined with CarPro Essence (CarPro gloss pad) and finally topped with Reload. Some after pics -
Tyres dressed with Gyeon Tire, autosol on the exhaust and glass cleaned with Auto Finesse Crystal.
