Hello again folks!



I really have had a "detailing summer". Car after car after car... LOL! I'm a complete amateur so it's a big deal for me.



Well, we can not speak actually "detailing" since it's been only paint correction jobs. Like this, my co-workers real daily driver: Ford Mondeo 2002.



He asked me to enchance the paint. Enhance, not to make it perfect. That's why it was quite fun to work :xyxthumbs.



The process was:

1) Pre-Wash

- Korrek Lensitil BR solvent wash spray

- Bilt-Hamber Autofoam



2) Wash

- Turtle Wax Big Orange

- Two bucket method + Microfiber mitt



3) Claying

- Zaino Z-18

- Bilt-Hamber Autofoam as a lubricant (suited the job pretty well)



4) Polish

- Menzerna PO85RD 3.02 + Lake Country CCS Yellow Cutting pad / Orange Light Cutting pad

- Flex XC 3401 VRG



5) LSP

- FK1000P



6) Tyres

- AutoGlym Instant Tyre Dressing

50/50's:



Pretty heavy stuff was needed --> the combination of a Flex, PO85RD 3.02 and LC CCS Yellow finishes incredibly well!

Not everything could be corrected. Maybe wetsanding but I don't do that.

For an amateur/hobbyist you do really good work.



That Mondeo is an interesting car. It looks like an overgrown Focus mixed with a Taurus/Five Hundred in the States.
