Pre FCS - Silver Phase 1 - 172 Detail

[Rich]

Adam (acrebo) travelled all the way up to mine for a PC'ing on his 172 today. 120 odd miles all the way up from Exeter, to try and get it prepared for the FCS.

He clayed the car the other week. Paint was in good shape, no real swirl marks, odd marks here and there, so plan was to clean it up and increase gloss and seal.

Wash - Halfords own (No point using the good stuff before a Polish!)
Dry - Pakshak Waffle Weaves.
Swirl Removal - Poorboys SSR 2.5 and Light Cut Pad by PC.
Polish - Optimum Polish and Polishing Pad by PC.
Seal - Optimum Car Wax
Glass - Normal glass cleaner.
Tyres - Autoglym Rubber Plus.

Did not realise how bright a silver it is, made my 306 silver look dark and dull. Think Adam was happy.

Pics on my site, and a few to follow.

Cheers Ben, as details go the paint being clayed and being quite swirl free it was not to bad to do. About 5 hours in total including the sunday lunch break.

Lol, cheers again Rich, it's a shame the sun wouldn't open up properly to really catch the flake, but we both know that it glistened!

If you could give me the link to the sealant as well mate, it's raining here now and I'm very impressed by the beading!

Top stuff!

The brief apperance of sun showed it has done something!

At least its beading well.
