915 and Carlack 68 kit in action

[MarcC]

Hi guys,

My first detail EVER!!

Wash 2 bucket method
Clayed with Sonus Green and Megs LT as lube
Polished with AG SRP
Then sealed with Carlack 68 sealant
Then 2 coats of Collonite 915 24 hours apart.

A big effort but worth it for the results. (Didn't have time to do the wheels)

PICS

Yep looking good. Not bothered over tyre dressing?

 

[MarcC]

You know i'm really not a fan of tyre dressing, i think it looks tacky. Like a dodgey second hand car dealer!! IMO.

Got some beading pics today, will get them up tomorrow.

use something natural look, it at least makes the tyres look clean

they really spoil the look of the car which looks amazing !

i no longer like greasy tyres, i use auto glym tyre dressing which is a lot more natural in the look it gives

Its all about glossy tyres! On a black car especially looks great when the paint is in good nick.

And dirty wheels and tyres really lets down an otherwise clean car. Same for windows. I like my windows being as shiny as the metal.

windows is one are which i could do with giving more attention, i never seem to give them a proper clean and the difference it can make is massive, mainly from a driving point of view, makes it easier to see things lol, safer

 

[Brand86]

Yes mate, a clean car is statiscally less likely to be involved in a crash. Clean windows are a must though, a good bit of wax in the winter goes down a treat too.

My windows are a total mess!!! Will address that next yr! ha

Looks good - Nice work, I treat the glass the same as the paint - polish and Wax!

Look into something like Swissvax Penu of Chemical Guys Natural Dressing for non glossy tyres.

Ok i give in next time i'll try some of your suggested matt finish tyre non-shine

also here's a beading pic a bit rubbish as i took it on my phone last night but you get the idea

The windows were treated to AG Glass polish/cleaner. I thought the glass had come up nicely, although shiney windows always make me wanna tint them, just a little to make the shine better!!
