RS$4Detailed

Post by JayPlay » Wed Oct 29, 2008 11:05 pm

This saw another trip out to Oxfordshire to carry out a full Protection Detail with a single stage machine polish.

The interior was done by my assistant but didnt take any pics of this stage but the process was:
-Leather cleaned and conditioned with Gliptone
-Einzett Cockpit used on all plastics,vinyl etc
-Glass cleaned with AG window polish

First up was to wash the wheels using Bilberry
Image Image

Vehicle was foamed using AG Powermax 3 and worked it all panel gaps, badges and door shuts then rinsed and given a second foam
Image

Image Image

Vehicle was washed with Megs Shampoo Plus and lambs wool washmitt using TBM
Image

Clayed using Sonus Green and Last Touch as lube
Image

Image

Vehicle was power rinsed and dried in preparation for the machine stage. As this was booked in for only a single stage machine polish I used Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Pro which was then topped with Swissvax Divine
Image

Image

Wheels were cleaned with Swissvax cleaner fluid in preparation to be treated with SV Autobahn wheel wax
Image

Image

All exterior plastics and tyres were dressed with SV Pneu
Image

Image

Glass sealed with Carlack
Image

Engine bay plastics dressed with SV Pneu and all carbon fiber was cleaned and polished using Zaino AIO
Image

Image

Image

Vehicle was then given a final wipe down using Zaino Z8

As always thanks for looking

Fantastic work.

Always makes me chuckle when seeing how small and intricate some of the brushes you guys use in these detailing threads (the one around the rear badge tickled me this time!). Your attention to detail is second to none.

I wish I had the patience.

Thanks Jay, My car looks stunning. I like to think I can clean a car, but I have just learnt I don't have a clue. It's been in the garage ever since just in case it rains!!. It looks way better than the day I picked it up from the dealer 2 years ago. Thanks again. Fantastic job.
