Megane R26
I was looking forward to this one, and it didn't disappoint, a real pleasure to work on.
The car itself is a really credit to it's owner - Chris, as it was generally in superb condition, was obviously well cared for and protected, but was just a bit dirty from general road grime.
Apart from one minor scratch, the paint under the Brinkmann only had very minor swirling, so Dodo Juice Lime Prime via Rotary was a perfect choice to clean the paint up a bit, and leave a nice clean surface ready for protection.
I didn't get any before pics unfortunately. The full process was as follows:
- CG Citrus Degreaser applied by pressure sprayer to lower half of car and wheels
- Pressure Washer rinse
- Snow Foamed with DG901 and Hyper Wash cocktail
- Wheels, tyres and arches hand cleaned with various brushes and rinsed
- Snow foamed again
- Shuts and sills cleaned with Megs APC @ 10:1
- Foam solution worked on grilles and petrol cap with Envy Brush
- Pressure Washer rinse
- Hand wash using Dodo Juice BTBM, CYC Wash Pad and Zym0l Wash Caddy
- Car clayed with CYC blue clay and Dodo Juice Born Slippy
- Pressure washer rinsed and washed again
- Dried with I4D Uber Drying Towel and Optimum OID
- Paintwork cleansed/corrected using Dodo Juice Lime Prime, via Chicago Rotary and Megs W8006 Polishing pad
- 2 x layers of Dodo Juice Supernatural applied, with 30 minute curing time, and 30 minutes between layers.
- Wheels protected with Planet Polish Wheel Seal & Shine (wow!!)
- Tyres and plastics dressed with CG NLTG
- Glass (int and ext) cleaned with Megs Glass Cleaner Concentrate
- Interior wiped down with 4:1 Megs APC and vacuum'd with Henry
- Zym0l Field Glaze wipedown
Now, unfortunately the weather was against us, because as we finished it started to rain, and was very overcast, so the pictures aren't wonderful. However, there was a wonderful glossiness and reflective property to the finish. I think we were all most impressed by the Planet Polish WS&S though - it left a stunning finish on the Gloss Black Meg wheels.
Hopefully we can get some better pics of it at Trax under sunlight...
Epic car - I want one, and have started looking... :lol:
Shame the pics let it down, bloody weather
Oh and a special thanks to my sexy little helper... Mr Ste Burns!
Cheers,
Russ.
