Auto Finesse Imperial for the wheels, made short work of thegrime tbh...

I attacked all the doorshuts, petrol cap etc with Verso...

Then foamed it all up...

I’m back to using Lather after the massive let down ofGyeon!!

Used my CarPro Mitt, bloody love this thing!!!

I then cracked on with the decon stage

I really do prefer this to Tardis.....

I reverted back to my old clay combo, I really missed it butmarginally better than the decon block..

A bit more on the clay than I usually like to see but...

Washed and then taken in to see the SWIRLS!!!!!

Didn’t get a bad correction on it with HEX and Menz...

MMMM Reflections!!!

Cleansed with another AF product I really quite like...

Topped off with a couple of layers of Soul...

All plastics and tyres had a good going over of this...

Glass done with crystal, I do find this has to be worked fora smear free finish but it’s not bad...

Exhaust done with AF Mercury and a bit of Papaer...

Finished!!!

Re: Leon FR CR170 Singel Day Detail (SWIRLS!!!!!)

Ant, how do you keep the tyres/arches looking that clean coming out of your unit?? The place is filthy!

Re: Leon FR CR170 Singel Day Detail (SWIRLS!!!!!)

After seeing your reflection picture I wasn't expecting the car to be black!
Very nice.

 

[Scrooge]

Re: Leon FR CR170 Singel Day Detail (SWIRLS!!!!!)

Yay fixed the PB pictures, now you can see the correction!
Daniel I drive slowly until the road is clean then drive quick, if everything is cleaned properly it all flies off. Ask Scott, after we did his car we drove through a massive puddle, by the end of the drive it was spotless again.

Thanks all

Lol at double post.

Da with hex Ant?

 

[Scrooge]

Re: Leon FR CR170 Singel Day Detail (SWIRLS!!!!!)

The first post fucked up and by the time I sorted I couldn't edit it lol I hate this laptop, this wrote up has taken me ages!!

Nope rotary mate, if I used the Da apart from with rejuvenate I'd still be there. I like hex with rotary tbh.

It sure was, i couldn`t belive my luck. After a day spent on my car only to drive through the biggest muddy puddle.

I have also got the same wash mitt, love it.

Cracking work matey, looks bloody lovely.

Re: Leon FR CR170 Singel Day Detail (SWIRLS!!!!!)

Thanks Scott

Re: Leon FR CR170 Singel Day Detail (SWIRLS!!!!!)

Awesome stuff Ant. You always transform these things! You must work like a cotton picker!

Crystal is poor. Have you tried IPA/eraser/panel wipe on glass?

 

[Scrooge]

Re: Leon FR CR170 Singel Day Detail (SWIRLS!!!!!)

Lol!! I don't stop all day.

I usually use earaser but I'm running low

thanks

 

[Mr R.]

Re: Leon FR CR170 Singel Day Detail (SWIRLS!!!!!)

I dont know how Ant turns them around so fast to that standard.

I need to sort my paint work out on my van (just make it shiny and protect it) but all i seem to get done in a day is wash it....flol

Re: Leon FR CR170 Singel Day Detail (SWIRLS!!!!!)

Nice work Ant, black is a beaut to work with but a pain to own (says the chap with the recently purchased black car )

[Rob]

Cracking first pic Teg,

Great turn around Ant, You must just get started and never take a break to do that in a day.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Cracking first pic Teg,

Ha.

 

[Crybert]

What colour hex pads do you use?

also what polish mate?

excellent turn around

 

[andy335touring]

Looks ace, top work !

I don't know how you do all that in one day, especially this time of year !

 

[w33 brl]

great work Scrooge

wish was able to machine polish but dont trust myself with one

 

[Scrooge]

As a few people ask me what pads I used and polish. I used two different pads and two different polishes. Hex pads and Menz polish. First to guess the correct combo gets a small prize. This should help my boredom today lol.

It's easy if you take your time mate, work small sections and focus.

thanks

How I get it done in one day is simple, start early and don't stop until I finish. Work out a pad & polish combo and stick with it, then just work round until you get a level of correction you're happy with.

 

[Coby.]

203s and Orange Pad?

I've never used a machine so a complete guess.

 

[JD]

203 and 106 with orange and black, respectively.

 

[Chapppers11]

Looks great Ant!

 

[JD]

Cam on cam on cam on

Thanks Chappers

 

[JD]

Lol at actually winning. Save it for me and I'll come see you. Got a few things for your cupboard too.

 

[Scrooge]

It's my winning combo atm, love Menz stuff and I really rate hex at the correct rpm. I did briefly use the white pack but quickly reverted back haha

yay product exchange!
