First job was to tackle the alloys:

then in with the brushes to remove the inner dirt and the alloy front stuff:

You will note in the pics I already have my hooded coat on! Good reason too, as the heavens opened so no pics followed. Car was washed with Swissvax Bath, clayed with Swissvax Paint Rubber and Quick Finish. Then another rinse over, and moved inside. Sophie and I then dried the car, with Sophie also drying all the door shuts too.



The car is only a 57 plate, so Cleaner fluid Pro used to put the life back into the paintwork. Whilst I spent the best part of a few hours doing this (these cars are soo small :D) ALL credit must go to Sophie from Swissvax who dug in and completed the interior detailing. She started out by cleaning the rubber mats.She cleaned all glass with Swissvax Crystal, cleaned all surfaces and the leather work, then set to and vacuummed out everywhere. Last job was to apply the Swissvax Leather Milk and allow to soak for about an hour. She then buffed the excess off and the interior was done. Her first detail, and a top job too - well done!



Whilst all this was going on, and me stopping to coach and assist Sophie I continued with the Cleaner Fluid Pro. Then went round with Standard Cleaner Fluid on the hard to tackle areas, and the alloys too. Next I applied a layer of wax to the car using:

After this I applied the Autobahm wheel wax and the two were left to cure for 30mins. The Crystal Rock was then buffed off, and the autobahm too, applying Pneu to the tyres as the wax was removed. Spohie and I then applied the seal feed - a side each, before I cleaned over the exhaust pipes. Lastly a check round the car, inside and out before a wipe over with Quick Finish where needed.



The afters:



Well done Sophie!

Thank you to Sophie for her help, and for reading this post at Swissvax UK.



PS: Before anyone asks, the CR is rubbish!

Ok, maybe not - its damn good ok! Huh. :D
 
Incredible stuff! You just sold me on ordering some Swissvax products. I am little nervous to try the EZ Detail brush on my chrome rims though.



Again, great detail!
 
Great work! I love the colour, i always thought the Swissvax wheel cleaner looked like a pain to use as the sprayers seemed quite fine on there other products.



Unfortuntaly, no matter how expensive the wax nor how much your put on that thing will still depreciate enough to make your gut ache for a yr!
