SSP Auto Salon: Black Evo | Excessive Detailing + Upgrade

[KoshiL]

Okay getting right into it, initial heavy citrus/enzyme wash to break down dirt and grime

After a very detailed wash around body panels, we did the usual clay bar treatment, ironx, wheel detail, and R.O. rinse before taping her up

10 hours of polishing later our initial correction is done. We're looking for a deep near perfect finish. The next couple compounds will clean up the rest.

The next morning we continued paint correction as we progressed to finer polishes.

Up on the lift to get some under carrige cleaning.

Quick oil change!

Exhaust off

Moar cleaning.

Checking the reflection

Deep finish before applying the coating.

Now to let it cure.

IR lamps turned on. We document temps and time to ensure even curing.

Stead time for 20 minutes before we move it to the next panel

The car was left in our hot garage for a few days before the trailer comes to load it up for ATX.

Before delivery, we wanted to give it a little extra gloss and protection. The wax is solid at room temp so its very difficult to apply.
Heat from your hands softens it enough to be applied to the paint.

Using a super fine, non abrasive pad to even distrubute the wax

Results

Engine was microvacuumed and all rubber/vinyl/plastic

WHeels also recieved C.quartz treatment

Great results , what products where used on this beast & how long it took to do the job mate !

 

[KoshiL]

Thanks for the feed back!

Under side was cleaned with dawn / apc mixture in a foam cannon. Agitated with daytona brushes and mf finger mitts. Its easier to clean barrels from the bottom as well. We dressed metal parts and plastics.

Lol I really lost track. But a lot of it came down to about 30 hours active, 30 inactive. Interior was lightly cleaned with apc. I used connolly on leather inserts and cquartz on fabric.

Wow that is an impressive job. I've never seen an undercarriage pampered like that.
