jediknight83 Posted October 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Todays detail started at 7:30am over in oxford. Gotta be the longest one i have done so far... guess i didnt realise just how big those blasted things are! Anyway... started in the dark so no before pics. Usual process on wheels, arches, shuts and engine bay. Onto the clay.. the past 3 cars i have clayed havent been very dirty atall... this on the other hand... This was after half a door... So i clayed each panel twice so make sure it was clean. Every inch of paint was clayed. Long job. Sun came out (and it got boiling for an october day) and i checked the paint. Was in very good condition. Car had been done by dave (******* guy from the tt forum) about 6 months ago so im guessing he sorted the paint out nicely. So onto my favorite product... Super Resin Polish (Radiant Wax in trade form) Few pics after the SRP was taken off.. Then onto the Megs #7 Glaze No pics of this as rain was imminent nso i had to crack on but it was looking great at this stage. Then on with 2 layers of Collinite 476s before it did rain. Re-dried, applied dressings, cleaned interior and then some final pics. One thing i will say... i didnt use it but the seats had already been treated with liquid leather and they felt the best i have ever felt leather. Gonna be getting some of that i reckon! Anyway.. the pics.. unfortunately it was gone 5pm and there wasnt any bright sun which is a same because in the sun it looked amazing! Then a long 2 hrs drive home in torrential rain and m25 traffic. Fun day though and a great car Cheers Nathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
