My BlackGold 182 *56K sleep!

[Thomss]

Hi guys,
Here are some pictures of my first time with a PC.
The detail due to the weather was split over 4 days. total time:::14hours:::

Products used:

The car as it was, not washed in a few weeks

Time for a wash! (Megs NXT Wash)

Followed by Megs quick clay...

A wash with Megs Gold class, it was time to mask it up and get ready for some PC action

but then came the snow! with a plan of it's own

After a little while the snow went and after a QD I was ready to attack the swirls with a SFX1 pad and Megs #83

I was liking the PC, it felt a little weird at first but I was enjoying it anyway
All in all, the snow came back and that was as much that could be done that day...

A week later, a fine morning arrived!

So it was a nice cuppa tea

Then of we go again!
Washed with gold class, then I proceeded to finish the rest of the car with Megs #83 followed by #80 on a SFX2 pad.
Results...

It was getting dark by time I finished the #80 process

The following day after a good QD I decided to try NXT wax on a SFX3 pad.

I was lucky enough today to wake up to another fine day and proceeded and have a QD this time with NXT speed detail I used some AG EGP by hand. It went one with ease however, I either used to much or never left it cure long enough... 45 mins. but with a little hard work with a MF it came of and all was well.

Pictures from throughout the day

A little pose for ya'll

Wheels, washed with Gold class, AG SRP, Megs NXT, DC3, tires with Megs tyre gell.

And of course a tree for Brazo!

I Love Gooooooold.....

To end up, along came the rain.... oh well I was happy with the results that I had seen.

Quality thread, quality pictures, the car is looking lovely! Glad your happy with the PC , it is weird when you first use it.

Are you sure you have enough quik clay in your box? lol

 

[Rich]

Great write up and results, car looks top notch.

Did you use AG EGP over NXT?

 

[FiDoDiDo]

Looks awesome, great results! A OCD hey!

 

[Thomss]

yeah AG EGP over NXT - just reading on detailingworld though should of been the other way round! DOH! oh well, I was gonna try some DC3 over it next wash, you think that would be ok?
Just using the stuff up that I have already before I purchase some otehr waxes. thanks for the comments guys.

 

[Rich]

I wouldnt have done it the other way round either as the cleaners in NXT would have removed the EGP. The EGP wont give as the same durability over NXT as it can do as it wont bond properly like it does over AG SRP.

DC3 will be fine over it after the next wash.

 

[Thomss]

Sounds good. thanks!

Good job dude.

[Thomss]

Yeah Chris, I had the whole right side re-painted, the guy that done the job also decided to wash the car and use some Mers wax.... DOH all my work was gone! swirls R us. The car now looks far better than when I picked it up brand new.
