So - it's time for the spring detail. Just in time for my first ring trip of the year next weekend.
Prewash with valetpro ph neutral snowfoam.
Rinse.
TBM wash with lambs wool mitt, using meguiars NXT shampoo.
Wheels and brakes cleaned with ironx.
Rinse.
Clayed with nanoskin autoscrub machine pad.
Snowfoam and rinse.
Full two stage machine polish using my Flex 3401, first stage on a red hex pad with Wolfgang TSR V3, then Wolfgang FG V3 on a white hex pad.
12% IPA wipedown.
Two coats of Swissvax Best in Show.
Glass cleaned with Swissvax Crystal Glass.
Glass sealed all round with carbon collective platinum glass.
Wheels sealed with Swissvax Autobahn (applied by hand), tyres treated with Swissvax Pneu.
Interior vacuumed, plastics treated with Swissvax quick interior finish. Leather wiped only with damp cloth (my seats ALWAYS have a seat cover on so are like new).
Didn't take as many photos as I'd wished as wasn't expecting it to be such a big job (1.5 days) - turned out the winter hadn't been so kind to my paintwork, and my laziness had resulted in a few trips to the "scratch and wax" Polish over the winter.
My primary weapon of choice.
Before and after on door trims.
After machining. No wax at this stage.
Using a ramp to being the car to a comfortable working height is a godsend.
Seems I'm starting to see pitting/corrosion on the tailpipe trims too ...
Wheels now smell yummy too!
Now she's waxed.
Colour really pops in the sun.
Or under leds...
That's all folks
