Black Gold Trophy
This came for paint correction, unfortunately I only had a day to work with it, so I had to rush a few things, one of them being taking photos!
Here goes!
The car as I received it:
DSCN1183 by jackdavey_uk, on Flickr
Difficult to see, but this car was suffering from some major RDS due to poor cleaning technique and heavy swirling.
So I set off and snow foamed
Cleaned door shuts and hinges with APC.
These looked like they had never been cleaned
Next I removed the gutter seals and cleaned them and their respective areas
Fuel filler cap
Wheels, which had apparently never been cleaned between the spokes before
Hand washed with Britemax shampoo and megs washmit
Clayed
50/50 on the door after polishing with megs #105 ultra cut
50/50 on rear quarter, after two passes with a rotary, obviously more polishing needed on both sides!
During polishing
Washed with britemax shampoo and megs super degreaser to remove polish residue, dried and waxed with megs #16 paste wax
Some nice reflection shots
Not bad for the time spent on it, but I would have ideally have liked to had spent more time on it. Amazing turn around none the less!
