Monaco 172 Detail - CarPro Reload 2014

[Gally]

Hey chaps, you may recognise this one. Now owned by a fellow member Gaz_H after being owned by another 2 locals.

It was needing a bit of polishing tbf, just to restore some gloss but what a cracking Monaco, it's been well looked after over the years! Some afters. Front end had been painted so minimal swirls all in. Apologies about the lack of 50/50s I still haven't bought a new sungun yet! Oh and Gaz had practically detailed it before dropping it off so no befores!

Polished with CarPro fixer and White hex pad, i've used fixer a lot on localised scratches and harder paint. I love adjusting pad to suit the bite okay it's no Menzerna but more versatile. Wiped down with Eraser...

Finished with Reload 2014, stuff is awesome! Done a quick test on Fri with some G101 diluted different strengths, held up really well and experienced no streaking on Porsche Basalt Black or this Monaco Blue.

Been a while since i've been excited about a detailing product.

Love this motor. Gaz stays just down the road from me and every time I see it pass I stare at it.

Amazing condition.

Amazing condition.

It is. The mods on it are bang on. Coils are maybe a tad harsh but the steering wheel, turinis etc finish it perfectly.

 

[Paul.M]

Lovely looking car.

I'm a big fan of monaco, good work on the detail too

 

[Adam93]

Lovely colour; Silver Turini's complement Monaco so well.

[Scrooge]

Nice work Gally!

That's a really nice Monaco.

I ordered a fair amount of stuff from car pro last week, looking forward to a detail, haven't done much in ages.

 

[welshname]

Looks stunning. This is the car that made me want a Monaco.

Just a shame the paint on mine is full of bad repairs with sanding marks, and the paint is so thin on the repairs :'(

Cheers Rhys, it's the best condition Monaco i've worked on by far.

 

[m0ssy]

Apologies for resurrecting old threads but awesome to see it still being looked after 2-3 owners later! Stunning car.

 

[Scrooge]

Like the finish on that @gally

 

[m0ssy]

@Gaz_H do you still own it mate?

 

[Gally]

It was a stunner in all fairness and all 3 owners were pretty meticulous with it.

Funny fact. Me and JD both detailed this car.

 

[Stefan.]

That is lovely!!!

 

[Chris_Beer]

Monaco is such a silent gem IMO

Silver wheels are becoming some what of an itch I need to scratch recently!

 

[LiamR172]

God I need to get my turinis refurbed badly after seeing this.
Is this the one that Dave has/had recently?

 

[Djw John]

Yeah he's still got it, for now.

 

[GavC]

Flipping gorgeous :hearteyes: Great work! What way do you apply CarPro Reload? @gally

 

[Mr Plums]

Looks brilliant that, the wheels really suit it too.

 

[Gally]

Spray on cloth and panel, not too heavy, wipe over then remove with separate clean MF. Dilute 1:1 for dark colours.

 

[Djw Dave]

I do still own this, with another few thrown into the mix. It really is a lovely car, a bit low and bouncy for my liking but I wouldn't change.

It'll be up for sale soon I suspect.

Spray on cloth and panel, not too heavy, wipe over then remove with separate clean MF. :smile: Dilute 1:1 for dark colours.

I tried spraying it on wet, so after the car was all washed, sprayed it on to a panel, gave it a wipe over with a MF and then jet washed off. Seemed to work well and zero streaking.

Obviously not the right way to go about it but it seemed to work just fine.

 

[m0ssy]

@Djw Dave let me know if you're selling it, would love to buy it back

 

[Djw John]

Ah. Think it was January he sold it on.
