Unfortunatly as my car is dead, i couldnt go to my first full paying client this weekend. :x

So anyway, to prove a point to my lodger i show him the art oif swirl removal.

The idea was to give the car a quick detail but seing as i couldnt start until 2pm time was limited.


So here is the break down of what was done

1) the car was rinsed
2) a super consentrate degreaser/ traffic film remover was applied
3) the car was rinsed
4) car was washed using super slick and suds, a lambs wool mit and the 2 bucket method
5) the car was dried using a microfibre towel
6) took a few pictures to try and show up how bad the swirls were. problem is the dslr was playing up :frown:
7)he was abit worried about what would happen. as soon as i said "cutting compound" we turded himself. anyway we chose the top of the boot
8) i clayed it, just did half the boot and took a picture of the clay ( below)
9) taped it up
10) started with a cutting pad and ssr1 wish was enough as the paint seemed quite soft
11) didnt have time to give it a polish after so just went straight to the wax. i used nattys blue
12) was buffed off with a different micro fibre towel after 30 minutes

please bear in mind the car has only been polished once in 5 years since he has had it. it gets used every day and washed once maybe twice a month at tops. and that involves sponge staright onto the dirt and then a rinse :shock:

Unfortunatly i didnt realy get any good After shots as the camera was being gay but from the 50/50 you can get the idea of what it came out like


thanx for reading

I might read into detailing cars and buy some products/have a stab myself in mid/late spring time. That looks like a big difference to me.

nice work there

ive been doing the gf's KA all weekend with the pc
when you see correction like youv'e shown above it just proves how much better a car can look when done properly

did you finish the whole car by the way?
i took all weekend to do the KA as it did have some nasty swirls
