This is my Mum's partner's car. He has absolutely no interest in cars whatsoever and simply sees them as a means of getting from A to B. Well, my Mum had had enough of it looking like a dustbin, so she called me in to sort it out!
Even though it hadn't been washed in well over a year, it didn't look too dirty, although I think this is a characteristic that really dirty cars take on. And also, as it never gets touched, the paint underneath was in relatively good shape, with only a few medium (dealer inflicted no doubt) swirls to contend with.
There are quite a few photos in this post, so bear with me!
Before (I haven't got a whole car shot, but the wheel and boot lid should give you a good idea what the whole car was like!):
Processes were:
INTERIOR
Vacuum
Meg's APC 10:1 on everything
TW Leather Cleaner/Conditioner
PB Natural Look Dressing
AG Fast Glass
AG Autofresh
ENGINE:
Meg's APC 4:1 on everything, agitated with a soft brush
Jet wash on low pressure to rinse
AG Vinyl and Rubber Care on everything
EXTERIOR:
Wash with Pro Finish x3
Wheels with Pro Finish wheel acid and AG High Tech Wheel Brush x4
Meg's APC 4:1 and Jet wash in the door shuts
Clay with Meg's GC as lube
SSR2.5 with Meg's burgundy
PwC Blue with Sonus DAS green
EX by hand
AG Fast Glass
Hypertursimo's Wheel Wax
Meg's Endurance High Gloss tyre dressing
AG ITR with steel wool and NXT All Metal Polysh on exhaust tips
AG Vinyl and Rubber care in arches (what I could reach anyway)
And I think that's about it. All in all it took me 10 hours which I don't think was too bad all things considered.
Afters in the next post as I doubt the system will allow me to post them all in this thread.
