Monaco 172
Right been hanging about here for a while now so thought I better get posting. Did a sort of mini (2days) detail of my car. Started off yesterday morning and finished up tonight. Here is run down of what happened and some before and after pics, didn't get to many during polishing as garage doesn't have great light and just wanted to crack on with it.
So far I have the car for almost 2months and only washed it about twice due to working away alot, I have also raised the car up as it was sitting on Apex -40mm springs so I have fitted Eibach Pro Kit, fitted a new engine cover as it didn't come with one and also new Renaultsport Badge
So first up rinsed with pressure washer then treated bottom of car and door shuts etc with Super Degreaser 10:1 mix.
Then washed entire car with Autoglym shampoo 2BM
Removed old style Renault Sport badge
De-Tar and Clay Bar
Cleaned and scrubbed wheels and tyres
Blasted and cleaned up engine bay again with Super De-Greaser
Washed whole car again before drying
Then off into the garage
For polishing I've been wanting to try this for a while so I just went with Dodo Juice Lime Prime on a Menzerna polishing pad with the G220, and spent quite a bit of time with this to try and get as good a job as possible, this process ran into day 2.
This morning Finished polishing the car.
Dressed up engine bay with Aerospace 303.
With the car still all masked up applied Blackfire Wet Diamond to entire car by hand and left to set (approx 1hr)
Applied 2 coats of PoorBoys Wheel Sealant to the alloys and dressed up the Tyres with Megs Tyre Gel.
Removed Wet Diamond and buffed with Megs Soft Towel
Polished windows with some Autoglym Glass polish
Then the last job was to hoover out interior and give the dash and other parts a good clean up ready for some pictures.
Here we go some before
