Process:

Paint -Rinse
- TFR (traffic film remover) by foam gun
- Super Snow Foam
- Rinse
- Super Snow Foam
- Washed by 2 bucket method with Megs hyper wash
- Rinsed
- Clayed with Clearkote mild clay
- Polished with Sonus SFX-2 polish on SFX-2 6 inch pad
- etching done with Sonus SFX-1 on 4" Spot Pad
- HD Cleanse by hand

P.S - started by trying Menz IP but found it needed 2 coats to achieve same finish as the Sonus and as time was an issue, we didn't continue with it.

- Paint depth read 116 to 140 all around.

Wheels, arches and engine bay - Wheels with Megs wheel brightner
- Arches soaked with P21's
- Tyres dressed with CG New Look
-Engine - electrics sealed with foil and nappy sacks
- Rinsed
- Dressed with Sonus Motokote

Interior - Steamcleaned and hoovered by Darren-Rallye
- Poorboys interior trim dressing
- 1Z used on rubber mats

The wheels were in a right state and nothing but Megs wheel brightner could help:

Christmas? In July? The super snow foam certainly made it feel so and also claimed the first casualty of the day with Alex breaking his gun!:

Second casualty was a piece of invaluable clearkote clay, deftly dropped by Darren moments after this photo. Don't worry Darren, we've all been there!

Very impressive work guys! You guys ran a dirt magnet over that car from top-to-bottom. The finish, interior, and engine look amazing.

Thanks for sharing your process & results!
 
Nice pictoral of the vehicle change by using before and afters for practically every step. I am envious of your group effort. The products listed are of a type of which I am not familiar for the most part. Your thread gives testimonial to their effectiveness.

Gotta love black vehicles!!! Nice look....Good detail:howdy
 
This is a time when you can appreciate the color black. No doubt it appears to be very wet with added depth. btw, i was thinking about you and this traffic foam i remember the last time you posted there was a link posted but i couldn't find it..
 
very very vecy nice work. I like the step by step pics its cool to see the transformation. I was just wondering how you like the zymol Atlantique, is it worth the money? also what other zymol products have you tried and liked. Thank you for the respone (and people im not trying to start another debate im just asking the opion of someone who has used it. If you want to debate the price/vaule i think there are many other threads for that)
Thank you very much and nice work

Wow extremely thorough work! How do you like the Sonus Products? Any info on the TFR or Super Snow Foam? Is that a different foam gun, seems to have alot of water pressure.
 
I think the IP might have had more cut with an agressive pad at least this was my experience with it. I found it to be an excellent product.Anyways you produced outstanding results regardless,Great work :bigups ...

Great people here if you can find somewhere from here in your area i would be willing to bet they would offer too help..
 
Great work! And you didn't even charge $9000 bucks either. :lol: You need to take your crew and your skills to wherever that hack that charges a million dollars just because he uses some bottomless jar of Zymol on cars and give him some competition. It doesn't get any better than what you did for that car. :bow :bow

Never tried the Atlantique before or any other Zymol product. This product was a friends so i didn't buy it, he has tried alot of products and now swears by Zymol. It looks so much better in the flesh and the paint feels like silk to touch:).
 
Christ that Atlantique is like $1000 if I'm not mistaken.

But my word... that's some of the finest work I've ever seen. The after pics are phenomenal, I'm really speechless to be quite honest.
