As the summer is kind of upon us I say a majority of us is out given the car some tlc.
Just like the "what work have you done to your car today" thread use this one to show of your shiny cars whether its a quick wash or full detail.
I will get the ball rolling.
Today got stuck into decontaminating the paintwork on my new blob.
The paintwork was full of tree sap, tar etc and has made the car in my eyes look dull and also it isfull of swirls. My plan for today was to remove all contamination sitting on the paint.
Here was my method of what I did.
WHEELS
Rinsed with water
Sprayed Orcard Autocare Wheel Cleanse 8-1 on and left to dwell for a few mins
Washed using various brushes, small microfibre mitt and meguiars shampoo
Tires cleaned with chemical guys degreaser and brush
BODYWORK
Rinse with water
Snow foamed with Demon Shine snow foam and left to dwell for around five mins
While it was dwelling I used a brush in all the crevices and tight spaces
Rinsed with water
Washed using the two bucket method and meguiars shampoo and meguiars lambs wool mitt
Detarred with Autosmart Tardis
De ironed with Orchard Autocare Iron Cleanse
I washed the car at this stage to remove the Tardis and iron cleanse and a bird dropping
Clay barred with Bilt hammer clay bar
Door/boot shuts and jams were cleaned with Orchard Autocare Citrus 20 - 1 using a brush
Windows were cleaned inside and out with chemical guys glassworks and exterior then given two coats of chemical guys jet seal 109.
Tires and plastics were dressed with Concept tire and trim dressing using a applicator pad.
Plan for tomorrow is to put some sort of protection on the bodywork as I won't have time to machine the many many swirls out for a few weeks as I want to get one or two small dings out before that stage also.
Anyway two pics only of my iPad as my good camera broke the other day.
Hope you all enjoyed the read and will keep my work up to date what I do over time.
