Mondays car (Gallys bus content)



  Flame Red Delight
Got my hands on the yellow submarine for a a detailing and i managed to pc the rear end of the car aswell.

Rinse down with megs hyper gloss with the power washer and cleaned all door shuts and boot shuts etc.
next was to hand wash using grit guard bucket, megs and i4detailing wash mitt
Rinse down again then de-tar using autoglym itr and sprayed the wheels with bilberry safe wheel and a quite scrub with the vikan wheel brush,
Power washed again,
Clayed (using i4detailing clay) the lower parts of the doors and then used the remaining clay to de-tar and remove all the imperfections.
I then masked up the rear end and pcd the rear end using orange menzerna pad and 302 alternating the grits and also between the 3m finishing pads etc
then polished and sealed using autoglym polish and wax and cleaned the windows and applied bumper care to all black trim
then used apc interior and trim cleaner i think it was (brilliant stuff)
full deepcleaned interior mats seats and carpet then a quick hoover out so the interior looked fantastic (removed alot of dirt from the seats)
Final stage was the seal the wheels, re-seal the car and also walk round the car and check all bits i have missed etc (which was none)

Very good results.

Pointers;

Clay-Polish-Seal-Wax. Presuming you have just written it up wrong as from reading through you appear to have polished, then waxed, then clayed, then sealed again?
 
And reading through again, did you do the rear separately?? And why not clay the whole car?

I'm not trying to be a dick here, Callum, but if you are offering these services to clients (I use that term loosely with Kevin ;)) you really need to make certain that you are actually doing a good job . . .

wrong order yea changed it now mate sorry lol clayed then polished then sealed it

I did clay the whole car and i only pcd the rear end of the car as thats all i could fit in the garage and i am doing it all correctly i am just writing up wrong calm down dear lol
 
OK, just checking, I didn't think you got that wrong in the last few threads!!

Nice results for such a funny colour of car!

(Hi Kevin you sex on legs you ;)).

Pmsl! You did well not to mention the rust!

Absoloutley grand job, what a difference a good clay does to the paint it's like glass on the bonnet even without it being pc'd.

We'll get it finished off with a good pc and some decent wax another time mate, shame about the shitty weather. :(

Couldn't recommend Callum enough. Really didn't miss a spot of the car inside or out.

...It's so dirty already! Rain+mcuk= :(
