I detail cars with my Friend Adrie. It's more fun than doing a car on your own and we simpy don't get a car done in one day if we would do it by ourselves.
This Peugeot 407 was always a very good friend with the local carwash
We never give any guarantees on results or if scratches can be removed or not.
After readings with a PTG we discovered only the trunk was resprayed. The thickness was about 250-300 with some spots around 1200micron.
The rest of the car was around 140-160 microns. Pretty safe for heavy polishinging if it was needed.
The paint itself wasn't that hard only the deeper swirls and scratches were quite deep so after a few tests we began polishing with the Heavy So1o Wool pad and Menzerna Intensive Polish. The finish it left was so good we only needed to refine it with a Kompressor finishing pad and Menzerna Final Finish.
2 Hits of heavy wool and Menz IP took the thinks from 144 to 132 microns.
Steps taken:
-2BM wash and Hyperwash
-Rims with Wheelbrightner and various brushes
-Calyed with Last Touch/Born Slippy + Meg's pro mild clay
-Polished with Heavy Solo wool + Menzerna Intensive Polish (rotary)
-Washed again
-Refined with finishing pad + Menzerna Final Finish
-IPA wipedown
-Glazed with Poorboy's Black Hole (D/A)
-Waxedwith Collinite 845 (D/A and hand)
-Rims with Chem Guys Wheelguard
-Tires with Wolfgang Black Diamond Tyre Gel
-Windows withPoorboy's Spray & Wipe, ECA and Dodo's Mint Merkin
-Interior with extractor, PB's Natural Look, PB's Leatherstuff and Meg's APC+
