A few weeks ago i picked up a nasty scratch on the side of the meg, did it with a pressure washer, totally my fault but i decided to get it sorted. At a wales meet a few weeks ago i met scott who mentioned that he worked for superchips, it also helps that he drives a LY R26. i asked him there n then if i could book in to get a few marks machine polished out.
got there today and things didnt go to plan.....
i wasnt aware (god knows why) that superchips/Scott was able to paint and mess about with cars, well we had a coffee and decided to spray all my badges Liquid Yellow. i was perfectly happy with the old one just the track at bruntingthorpe had destroyed two of my badges.
so Scott set to work
results
anyone that says liq yellow is near impossible to redo is having a laugh, the pics speak for themselves
whilst riad and myself were there Scott had to go and pick up his supplies. we tagged along to another superchips outlet where all the sprayers and valeter from around NW/preston get their stock and advice.
long story short the stuff we saw and demo'd was amazing, proper professional gear.
i bought some 'Malco' polishing creme and spray wax. i know a few guys of other forums detail with it. and a few have the spray wax on here to as Scott has started to stock it. best quick detailer i've used... n no im not on comission!
the stuff comes from america and is trade based, so not available in halfords. the size of the products shows this, most the stuff comes in massive vats or containers, perfect to split between mates tho.... all the people there were raving about it and i have seen it on 'Detailers world' a few times. i learnt some interesting and totally unbiased things about what people say and how alot of cleaning products are made, uses of silicons, cutting agents, abilities of mass sold products which would change alot of peoples opinions, but hey each to their own. Scott is also looking into selling the products via meganesport/cliosport, details of which im sure he will be putting up soon.
used the polishing creme on the car after the machine polish and the results are brilliant, im picking up some more stuff next week and have caught the cleaning bug...
when we got back to the marque Scott set to work on the machine and a nasty scratch got cut away and polished up, there was swirling and holograms all down the left off the car too which were cut down and treated accordingly.
results below
after 2nd pass
and after polish
note my new volt and water temp gauges in left of pic under headunit
cars goin back to him next week when i have some pennies so i can pick up some show spec aqua mist and im getting the rear lights polished clean and pick up my side badges which i decided to leave there as i had made him do so much work today.
will also be getting front fog replaced and front bumper respray as mine is farked!
proper pics up in next few days when shes looking abit better, with side badges on and rear spoiler fitted, oh and yes they will change colour again no doubt
