Corsa Runabout got some attention

[Chris205]

I dont really ***** this about as it's my daily and rather standard

I was up at our local detailing shop (NE Detailing) using some of there space to machine polish the corsa.

Products used:

Snow foam
Washed with wookie mitt
Dried using drying towels
Black Barron to clear shuts of water
Bilt hamber clay
Dodo juice lube
3m Medium Cutting pad/soft refinishing pad (Soft paint ftw/l)
Menzerna power finish
3m Anti hologram remover (blue top)
Panel wiped to remove any polish residue
Re-foamed and jetted off
Dried again
Black barron to clear the shuts
Waxed using Zymol Creme applied with german style soft applicator
Plastics treated with poorboys natural look
Tyres dressed using megs endurance gloss via applicator
Glass Polished
Quick hoover on it

Not many pics of it sadly just a few reflections

Still really tempted to start playing around with the corsa but my clio trophy needs more cash ATM

Anyone local to me able to do this kinda work on my car? Looks super smooth and clean, my cars lucky if it gets a bucket of water thrown at it

No offence, but unless you're selling it, why would you waste your time on a daily, run of the mill car? I'd appreciate it if it was your pride and joy, but you have a Trophy.

Find a hobby.

Thanks for the advice. My hobby is doing this, rescuing paint from looking bad. The car was In horrible condition, I had the resources available and some time on my hands so why not

My other hobby is driving my trophy very quickly but seeing as it's not working well I can't do that

Cheers mate,

I did very quickly paint correct the trophy before trax, I'd only owned the car 4 hours though lol

I will be doing a huge detail on it at the start of spring as I'm not happy with it, since the engine has been put in it's got a few marks on the wings etc, I've just finished doing another lexus is200 which I will post up later

Do you know how to use it? I have no idea atall.


Hats off to you tho bud, top work, I struggle with patience to clean it properly that and I don't even know where to start with it, poor car is starting to show the neglect now tho :-( are there any good basics to cleaning guides about? I thought I was doing good with owning polish and a sponge lol
