Today's Car....

[renclio]

Well today had a very nice intergra type r to hand detail. Really needed a bit of time and proper products.

Started off by:

Rinse down with megs hyper gloss with the power washer and cleaned all door shuts and boot shuts etc.
next was to hand wash using grit guard bucket, megs and i4detailing wash mitt
Rinse down again then de-tar using autoglym itr and sprayed the wheels with bilberry safe wheel and a quite scrub with the vikan wheel brush,
Power washed again,
then polished and sealed using autoglym polish and wax and cleaned the windows and applied bumper care to all black trim
Clayed (using i4detailing clay) the lower parts of the doors and then used the remaining clay to de-tar and remove all the imperfections from the white wheels (came up great)
then used apc interior and trim cleaner i think it was (brilliant stuff)
full deepcleaned interior mats seats and carpet then a quick hoover out so the interior looked fantastic (removed alot of dirt from the seats)
Final stage was the seal the wheels, re-seal the car and also walk round the car and check all bits i have missed etc (which was none)

Car looked fantastic in the end and i believe the customer was delighted, will let the pictures do the talking

[kevin.s]

that looks mint mate well done. want to do mine next week have you got any tips for me on things like what order to do stuff in and what to use.

 

[renclio]

the process i used mate is the best way to try and minimilise scratching/swirling and the best results without actually machine polishing results are great mate try it out

[richy22]

Nothing slips past my sneaky eyes

Good effort,

Those front tyres have seen better days lol. I do love balck cars...for about 2 minutes after they have been washed, then its back to looking poo again.

It's my car that Callum was working his magic on today, have to say I'm well pleased with his work.

I haven't had the time recently to properly give the car a wash and polish as I would have wanted and as I'm doing quite a few miles it meant it was really needing some TLC. Pictures speak for themselves really and I have no complaints whatsoever. Will hopefully get the car PC'd at some point in the near future as the paintwork has a lot of swirl marks.

Cheers again Callum.

P.S. Yeah front tyres are being changed this week or next - still got legal tread across the central 3/4 of the tyre though so still legal, lol.
