A few Germans detailed

Hi All, thanks for checking out another write up from Gleaming Kleen:thumb:
No pics of the wash stages but here is a few of the photos showing the condition of the car before it was washed and decontaminated.
Door jambs cleaned up
-
All wheels were removed to be fully refurbished as they were all badly kerbed. With the wheels off and car on axle stands I thoroughly cleaned the arches using Bilt Hamber Surfex and Tardis
Wheel hubs and brake calipers were not looking to good so these were rubbed down and given a few coats of primer, paint and laquer. Wheel bolts were also freshened up.
How it all looks with the refurbished wheels back on (wheels were sealed with Nanolex before refitting)
The wing mirrors on the car had been repainted poorly at some point so these were taken to get repainted properly (Thanks Wayne:thumb:)
Leather bolster repaired
-
The interior leather was in need of a good deep clean. A 50/50 showing the difference made.
Moving on to the paint - I used Menz 302 and a LC Cutting pad (where needed I stepped up to 3M FCP) for the bulk of the correction work.
Once all the heavy compounding was complete I refined the paint with Megs 205 and a old style Meg Finishing pad which left me with the following results.
With all the machine polishing stages out of the way I then applied/removed swissvax Cleaner Fluid and a coat of Swissvax Divine was applied. I then went about dressing the tyres, polishing exhaust, cleaning windows etc etc
Grills removed and given a good clean with Jeffs Prime Strong
Engine bay dressed with 303
And the end result after 35 hours of work
*********************************
