Ferrari Enzo - it needs no introduction really!
The owner wanted the car looking its best for an up and coming car show(Alford Speedfest Sun 5th June, we'll be there :thumb
but as it was quite short notice we could only get it in for a 1 day Protection Detail which would obviously make the car look nice and shiny but paintwork correction would have to wait.
This suited the owner fine but it is coming back into us in the next few weeks to have the full Ne Plus Ultra treatment so we can really go to town on it
So here's the car sat in the early morning sun awaiting its spruce up:
As always, it was the wheels/tyres and arches that were done first after a good pre-rinse:
With the ceramic brakes the wheels were never going to be too bad but I used Wolf's Deironiser anyways just to be sure:
Then agitated with the various brushes after the Deironiser was left to dwell for a few minutes:
Then rinsed:
The tyres and arches were sprayed with Meguiars APC (4:1) and then agitated with an old wheel back brush:
Then thoroughly rinsed at medium pressure:
While the fronts were ok, the rear wheels had a few minor tar spots so Autosmart Tardis was applied:
Then applied to a Wheel Woolie for an extra bit of cleaning power:
After:
Next up was that rather impressive engine bay which was just a bit dusty with the odd oily mark here and there so Meguiars APC was sprayed onto the worst bits:
Then rinsed at 60 degrees and low pressure:
The Black Baron drier was then used to remove any excess water:
I then foamed the car with Meguiars Shampoo Plus at 50 degrees...
...then thoroughly rinsed after approx 5 minutes:
There were still some stubborn bug splats on the front end so I applied some APC to help in their removal:
APC was then used again to clean all the exterior trim/badges/grills etc:
Then rinsed again:
Using a Lambswool wash mitt, Meguiars Shampoo Plus and the 2BM the car was then carefully washed:
A further rinse:
At this point the paint was pretty smooth with only a couple of small tar spots here and there so we brought it in to be clayed with Meguiars Mild:
We then dried the car with the Black Baron:
The paintwork was then prepared for waxing with Swissvax Cleaner Fluid and a microfibre applicator pad:
The tyres were sprayed with Swissvax Pneu and left for 10/15 minutes:
The wheels were also prepared with Cleaner Fluid and then protected with Swissvax Autobahn:
Then buffed off after 20 minutes:
Meanwhile, Crystal Rock had been applied to the paintwork...
...and a new glass sealant from Nanolex applied to all exterior glass:
