Owner of this recently bought this and wanted some life brought back into the paintwork as it was a mess and seen a few days of work put into it.
No pics of the wash stages but process was:
- Wheels cleaned with Epsuma Revolution Wheel cleaner (wheels to be refurbed in few weeks so not alot of time was spent on these as they are bad)
- Tyres cleaned with Megs Super Degreaser- Foam with AG Powermax 3
- Washed with Megs Shampoo Plus and a lambswool washmit
- Clayed using Sonus Green
After all washing was done vehicle was taped up and measurements were taken with Positester 200 which showed a healthly amount of clear all over.
After trying a test panel to find a suitable combo I found the paint on this was rock hard and even 3M Fast Cut Plus didnt touch the swirls so I ended up trying Megs 105 on a Menz polishing pad and 4in LC light cutting pad which give me the following results.
50/50

After all correction work was carried out I then went around vehicle with Menz 203s and then finished up with 3M Ultrafina on a 3m finishing pad. I then applied swissvax cleaner fluid to all paintwork by hand and topped this with Swissvax Divine, and few hours later paint was given a wipedown with Swissvax Quick Finish
Leather was in a dire need of a good clean, this was done using LTT Strong and then protected with the Protector. Below is a 50/50 pic which clearly shows the level of grime removed.
Lastly tyres were dressed with Zaino, wheels protected with Swissvax Autobahn, and all glass cleaned with Stoner's Invisible Glass.
