So this weekend Myself and Rustbucket had a rather sad patient in for a makeover. Whilst Grant had seen the car before hand I had not and was quite surprised to see the condition it was in. Before we get into the pics, a quick rundown of the tools and products we used on this one.
Sonax wash
Sonax polymer dewax
Sonax Xtreme rim cleaner
Sonax glass cleaner
Sonax glass polish
New car scent
Meg's Endurance Gel
Meg's Hyper Dressing
Menzerna IP
Menzerna FA
Presta Swirl Remover
LC white pad
Flex blue pad
Flex white pad
2000 grit waterpaper
Abrasive pad
CG's Extreme top coat 3x carnauba
CG's XXX paste wax
Flex 3401
Rotary
Various brushes and MF cloths
Right onto the pics, these are some of the pics we snapped after we went to collect it...
Whilst the car was pretty dirty both inside and out and there was some serious swirling, plenty RDS all over and some bad etching from bird bombs, overall we figured it would look a whole lot better after a thorough wash and clay...
Clay after a small section of the roof...The entire car was pretty much the same as this except for the doors which were fairly clean and free from bonded contaminants.
After claying we dried the car and it looked as if it wasn't to bad afterall. Interestingly what we initially thought to be a black car proved to be midnight metallic blue once it was clean, the owner was just as surprised when we called to tell her
It was already dark so we decided to head on inside for some pizza and to watch a bit of JC and the Top Gear boys.
