This mini belongs to the same client that i did the DB9 volante for a couple of weeks back. its 10 years old and washed with a brillo pad :grin:
it's another 'do what you can in a day' job
car on arrival
a quick wash with BTBM, wheels treated with AS Smartwheels, Tardis and AF Iron out. roof was cleaned with AG interior shampoo and exhausts with blue-b-gone. then inside under the halogen for a look at the paint.
i think someone opens the filler cap with keys in hand
that bird dropping on the bonnet had been there long enough to etch the paint
heres another
there were a few RDS, this was one of the deeper ones
paint readings were good for the most part, just a couple of places on the bonnet where it dipped into the mid 90's. i started out with Scholls S17+ on a 3m yellow, but switched to a green fin to get a bit more bite. interior was hoovered and cleaned with total wipeout. glass cleaned with clearly menthol
the car was finished with lime prime and a coat of Purple Haze Pro (had to be :grin: ). exterior trim got a coat of AG Bumpercare, basically because theres black plastic everywhere
tyres were done with SN Tyre Dressing. lighting wasnt great for the final photos as i had the nose under the garage door. the drive had gotten a bit crowded! still, here she is.
thanks for looking. comment welcome as always
