Long time no see :wave:.
At last it was time after the winter to do a proper cleanup for my car. Yesterday I drove to a club garage, washed and clayed the car, dried it and left there overnight. Then I ran home to sauna.
Today I went back and continued the project.
I slightly polished the car with the Britemax #4 Black Max, which is ultra fine polishing glaze. I added it with the Flex XC 3401 VRG polishing machine and Lake Country CCS White pad (light polishing pad). I've noticed this combo works mightily on almost swirl free surfaces. Now I had only some light marring after the winter and it's gone now. For anything deeper Britemax #4 isn't enough.
After polishing I added a layer of Dodo Juice Supernatural carnauba wax, which is the best wax I've ever used. Very easy to put on thinly, and a miracle to polish away.
I used AutoGlym Fast Glass to wipe the windows and Instant Tyre Dressing for the tyres. I know I have to wash the car on Thursday again after driving to Helsinki, so I didn't bother to do much else.
Interior cleaning probably tomorrow, as well as installing the front splitter for the summer again. Too bad I had to start the summer season with my current wheels&tyres (waiting for a set of 20" ICONZ 830ZRC :thumb
.
Wash process was:
1) Turtle Wax Super Detergent Spray --> rinse with the power washer
2) Repeated (Car was extremely filthy!)
3) Bilt-Hamber Autofoam sprayed with a pw & foam lance --> rinse with the pw
4) Repeated
5) Handwash with a lambswool mitt & Turtle Wax Big Orange Car Shampoo & two buckets --> Rinse with the pw
6) Sonüs Ultra Fine clay + Turtle Wax Big Orange Car Shampoo + water as lubricant --> Rinse with the pw
7) Drying with the Chemical Guys Ultra Plush drying towel
Polishing + waxing process:
1) Flex XC 3401 VRG + Lake Country CCS White Pad + Britemax #4 Black Max
2) Dodo Juice Supernatural
The pics are as usual (sorry afters only):
