Todays car (Famer content ;))

[renclio]

Well today i finally got my hands on daves flamer for some tlc. Really did turn out well and took me a fair amount of time but was defiantely worth it.

Stages:
First stage was to pressure wash the car using megs hyper gloss wash and wax
then sprayed the wheels with diluted bilberry wheel cleaner(great stuff) and used a vikan soft wheel brush to clean them properly
rinsed the car off then hand washed the car using turtlewax wash and wax stuff and daves wash mit wash mitt whatever that may have been lol
then clayed (i4detailing and magic clay lube) and de tar'd the car, really needed it purely because of the colour of it,
then sprayed the wash and wax over it again and rinsed it off
dried it off using an i4detailing plush drying cloth (brilliant)
then applied autoglym srp and tropi-care aplicator pads then dried it off using a microfiber cloth,
then cleaned the windows using fast glass and a window cloth from tropi-care and then applied trim wax to the black trim around the car,
by this time it was time to remove the polish and then i applied some egp,
left that for 20 mins and removed the trim wax and the egp and by this time looked very wet and shiney
Then onto the interior which i used mpc to clean the interior trim and deep cleaned the carpets and mats, applied some leather protectant and then applied the tyre shine and was finished

Ill let the pictures do the talking:

Callum. Srp is a polish. Yes it is a stage but it is not something you leave to dry or cure. In fact leaving it to dry will make it harder to buff off therefore increasing the chances of scratching/marring the paint.

Take this as constructive criticism. You know I am here to help

Again, constructive lad;

By the time you have done the windows and bumper care, guessing that is about half hours work . . . so you left the polish on for that amount of time?

Also, in what way did you dry the polish off? The only thing you can do is apply it and work it in to the paintwork, then buff off. Only small amounts of fillers are left behind . . .
