On arrival:
Limited pictures on the wash stage as it was pouring down with rain and I really did not fancy being out there any longer than I had to. So first job was to clean the wheels, using our Imperial wheel cleaner, and Wheel woolies, pre spray with Citrus power, washed TBM with Lather:
Up side to a bit of rain is it make life a bit easier when claying, clayed with our fine clay:
So now all dried off and indoors we can get down to business. Here’s how the paint looked:
By far the worst affected area was the roof and boot, we found later when polishing they acted differently under polishing than the rest of the car and had much different paint levels:
Paint inspection and PTG readings done, I get on with testing polishing combos:
Finally settling on 3M extra fine (yellow top) on a megs polishing pad:
And for that boot and roof a much different approach was needed, megs 205 on a finishing pad, was all that would even half work and it was holograming quite badly needing 3-4 extra sets of menz 85rd to get it down to the level needed:
Work continued around the rest of the car over the next couple of days:
Menz 85Rd was also used via DA with a finishing pad on the rest of the car to further refine the finish, before applying the LSP:
Glass cleaned with Crystal:
Shuts polished with Tripple:
Wheels sealed with Mint rims and tyres with Gloss:
And the finished results:
