Clio 172
I decided to give the clio a detail this weekend as weather was good and the mrs was working. Still learning alot by rotary so only achieved 80-85% correction. I was pleased with the results though.
Products used:
Autobrite lambswool wash mitt
Autobrite drying towel
Tardis
Autosmart Smart Wheels
Autobrite Clay
Megs Final touch detailer
3D APC
Sim180 Rotary
3M Fastcut plus
3M Ultrafina
3M Yellow polishing and Blue finishing pads
Jetseal 109
Chemical Guys Pete's 53
Megs Applicator
Dodo Supernatural finger applicator
Microfibres
Washed the car using 2BM and some Zymol Autowash
Which left me with
Then got the tardis out and attacked the bottom of the doors, sills and other affected areas. Then it was time for claying. The car was pretty good actually wioth only the bottom of the doors and sills really being contaminated. Worst of it left the clay like this.
Car was the washed again and dried.
I knew the car had quite a few swirls and slight holograms. Couldnt get a picture though on my phone camera (tried before) so i got some the night before under my security light. General idea of how the car was.
After playing with a few pad/polish combos I found that 3M Fastcut plus was giving me the best results on a yellow 3M polishing pad. I did this over the whole car with various numbers of passes depending on how bad the swirls/holograms were. Refined after with 3M ultrafina on a blue 3M Pad. Some 50/50 and final photos below of the results.
Car was then washed again to remove polish
And then dried again. Next up was 2 coats of Jetseal109 on a megs applicator
Followed by 2 coats of Pete's 53 on a dodo finger mitt
Final Shots and a beading shot
Sorry about the poor write up and lack of/quality of pictures. It my 1st ever write up though and only my 3rd ever full detail and paint correction. Hope you like anyway.
Thanks for reading
