I had two out of town customers on one weekend. This car was going to be a challenge, I knew before I even saw it. Luckily, the customer wanted it done right and also, wanted it done with the best...CQF. This was to be an inside and outside job, so I scheduled it for 2.5 days. He was down visiting friends for the long weekend, so the timing was perfect!
I had pre-purchased the touch up paint for him so I was all ready to go in that regard. Here it is as it arrived:
A few bugs along for the ride:
Hmmmm.
Wheels needing some love:
YIKES!! A D-I-Y Chip Repair.
The interior was stained with the light coloured leather.
First up as always was the wheels.
Here is Zep 505 working its magic with one application:
The barrels got cleaned first with Tarminator followed by Megs WB, followed by Zep Citrus to neutralize the acid.
The faces were treated with Megs WB followed by Zep Citrus and a wash mitt with DG 901.
The wells were cleaned with LATA.
Next up was the cleaning. First order was to foam the car with a strong mix of DG 901 + Megs Hyper Wash. Looking pretty:
That was followed by DG 901 and rinsed and then IronX paste on a grout sponge to eliminate any metallic contamination. Once rinsed from that final wash stage (and people look at you like you're nuts when you tell them you spent 2 hours just washing their car!!) it was brought inside where the wheels and tires were blown dry with the Master Blaster. The paint and glass were then clayed with a CP Elastofoam block.
Now, the true condition could be seen. Rught row, Raggy!!
A fine collection of Swirls:
A better look at the DIY Repair:
Can we throw in some Scratches??
What's Missing? Oh yeah, a few chips!
