2 day detail on venturas ITB'D PH1

[Kyle 86]

Hi all
As @ AlexW is doing my LED conversion. I thought i would get my cleaning toys on @ Ventura PH1 as its been sitting around for a while feeling a bit sorry for itself. So i drove it back to mine after dropping my cup of at alex's. I must say i throughly enjoyed the drive back to mine it really is an epic car. I had to do it over 2 days due to lack of daylight

So day 1 was mainly decontaminating it
So heres the story

Day 1

The car is pretty dirty after sitting around

1st things 1st i started off with a snowfoam with Autobrite magifoam and Autobrite snow lance

Once rinsed off i then shampooed it with Autobrite Purple Velvet and dried it with a uber blue towel

Once dried i then got to work on cleaning the wheels and then sealing with Gtechniq C2 V3 and then sonax nano wheel coating and then glossed the tyres with megs endurance

Then next i started the decontamination with Juicy details bleeding iron & auto finesse oblitarate and megs claybar

So thats pretty much day 1 over so i put a cover on it overnight

Day 2

1st things 1st on day 2 was to get her masked up ready for a heavy machine polish with my DA used with menzerna IP 2100 and lake country pink pad

Swirls were rather bad

So i cracked on with the machine polishing and straight away you could notice the difference as the paint was looking very flat. At this point i havent even glazed it

So then onto the boot

Then i cracked on with the roof

Then glazed with poorboys blackhole and waxed with valet pro beading marvellous

Then i got to work on the trims and exhaust before finishing off

So im pretty much there now. So i finished the rest of the car with PB BH and VP beading marvellous and heres a few shots on how she looks

Then i finished up with cleaning the windows and then sealing with angelwax H2go

Im pretty pleased in how shes come out. Im sure rob will be very happy with it when he sees it. It really is an epic car and now its a very clean glossy car

And as for the bonnet i just sealed it with Gtechniq C2 V3 as i dident fancy attacking it with the machine polisher

Well thanks for looking

Ill be taking them off tomorrow and will be getting thr crap out with tar remover. They are riveted in but i lost daylight so it will be done tomorrow with some more touchups

 

[Knuckles]

Awesome car, awesome job and awesome write up.

I really enjoyed reading that.

Why did you seal the wheels before decontaminating though?

 

[VR46-G@Z]

I have so much want for that car! That is Fecking gorgeous! Black Ph1 Oooosh yes!! Ph2 rear lights and I'm nursing a semi/full hardon!! :tongueout::up:

How come they were still mucky tho? Surely you went over them with your wash mitt, then dried them.

When i wash my car and then dry it, its all clean between the badges etc.

Dr Jekyll's and Phase1sr's are very nice ph1's mate, have a ganders at their progress threads.
