Well here it is 2014 another year jam packed full of detailing. This year OCD-ni is going back to its roots detailing for the total enjoyment of it, we are hand picking the cars we want to work on, not just the big fancy cars but we will be detailing for enthusiasts and people who love their cars or cars that will test our skill to the maximum, back to basics!!! and I hope this write up will set the scene for this year.
First up is a car that needs absolutely NO introduction if you are an anyway into the modified car scene and the VW world, its Carl Taylor’s Ex-Players and Rotiform worldwide globetrotting RS4. The car was originally built several years ago and many people may remember it being Orange until a mad notion was taken one night to paint it Porsche GT3 Signal Green. The car came to us via its new owner but in need of a lot of gentle care and attention. Overall the car was sell maintained considering the life its led with very few chips and rash and only had 2 small strike through marks and some bad blending from a recent repair prior to its sale.
The object of this detail was to make it as good as it possibly could be removing as many defects and restoring the lustre of the paint that it has lost quite a bit of. First off it was a wheels off Decontamination wash using all of Orchard Autocare’s product range as follows.
• Iron Cleanse Concentrate for all surfaces.
• Tar Cleanse.
• Citrus Preclean and Cotton Candy for wash and pre wash duties.
• Bramley Bubble Bath for Shampoo.
• Wheel Cleanse for wheel and wheel arch cleaning and degreasing as well as engine bay cleaning.
Here are a few pics:
Once the wheels were cleaned they were sealed with several coats of Speed Seal and the tyres were dressed with Orchard Autocare Glitz tyre dressing.

Once dried we could see the defects clearly:
