Sorry I havent posted in an age, been soooo busy!





Car before:

look, swirls on wet dirty paint! This is not going to be good if they can be seen this easy at this stage:

inside and underneath:

First job was wheels:

then the paintwork:

and some December Clay bar action:

I then drived the car off, and moved into the garage. Taping with 3m 3434 wwhere necessary. Paint depth checks all round, the car having an average of 90-100ums.



And the paint inspection with lamps:

I took the decision to test in on the front wing:

and then go straight into the bonnet:

then up onto the roof areas:

and into the rear shoulders:

drivers door:

near side wing:

passenger door:

Once I'd finsihed machining I applied Swissvax Cleaner Fluid to the paintwork, door shuts and alloys. The alloys were then sealed with Swissvax Autobahm. Whilst this was curing I cleaned the tail pipes with Swissvax Metal Polish:

and then started to apply Swissvax Divine Wax:

applied and removed panel by panel:

Tyres, arches and trim were dressed with Swissvax Pneu. Glass was cleaned with Crystal. Inside the leather was cleaned with Swissvax Leather cleaner and then the Leather milk applied and left to soak. Shuts waxed with divine. Seal treated with Swissvax Seal Feed:

The xterior after shots were taken before I started the interior - I wanted some daylight after shots. Cant think why!!

and the interior, inside as it was well and truely dark by now:

and underneath:

one for the website gallery i fear

Awesome detail.

The paint was in awful shape but you brought it back to life.

Great job.

 

[Thomas Dekany]

Stunning detail!!!!!!



I am shocked that the paint reading was so low. After all it has 11 layers of paint.

Good freakin lord that was terrible. How can you let a car like that get that bad? Anyway, you did an amazing job. What polish did you use, or did you already say?

Be careful with that picture of your business name on the license plate... Don't want the pic to be removed..
