Post subject: | This weekend |
Unfortunatly as my car is dead, i couldnt go to my first full paying client this weekend. ![]() 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 ![]() 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 ![]() The car ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() washing ![]() ![]() Dried ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The clay after half the boot ![]() Taped up ![]() 50/50% after abit of correcting ![]() ![]() The cutting pad after just doing the boot ![]() ![]() The wax after being aplied by hand ![]() 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. |
