In a Detailing World stylee!! Here are 1st results with the PC and new products....
Having cleaned my current and past cars by hand for the last 10 years, I recently decided to try out a PC and the various products that can be used with it.
The process and products I used are;
- Pre-cleaned with Karcher PW (yet to get a foam lance).
- Washed 2 bucket method with Meg's Hyper Wash and a Sonus wash mit.
- Rinsed with karcher PW.
- Dried with PoorBoys Waffle Towel with Meg's Quik Detailer.
- Clayed with Meg's Quik Clay & Quik Detailer for lube.
- Car taped up with 3M blue.
- PoorBoys SSR2.5 applied via PC with Sonus SFX-1 pad.
- Sonus Paintwork Cleanser appied via PC with Sonus SFX-3 pad.
- Meg's No.21 Synthetic Sealant.
- Meg's No.26 Hi Tech Yellow Wax (liquid).
All products buffed off with AutoGlym microfibres.
- Windows cleaned with AutoGlym Fast Glass.
- Tyres dressed with Meg's High Gloss Gel.
- Engine bay cleaned and dressed with AutoGlym Viny & Rubber.
(Probably a few bits I have forgotten!)
As it was the 1st time I used the PC, it was a long and deep learning process. It actually took me 12 hours, with a 15min lunch break to complete just the paintwork. The car was washed the night before, dried and garaged under a cover. The following day was the paintwork, and the following day the glass, tyres etc... Hats off to the guys who do it professionally, and complete a full detail in 1 day!
I didnt get a chance to take 'before and during' pics, as I was too busy, and time was a concern. The pics below were unfortunately taken on a very overcast and dull day, so do not do the finish a real justice. Also there are no close ups of the paint - this is due to it being my first time with the PC and products, so although I greatly improved the paintwork, it was not a total correction, some defects do remain (something to work on as I gain more experience). Pics were also taken with the help of some artificial light, due to the dull weather.
Enough chat, here are the pics, hope you enjoy....
Interior - You can see why this wasnt included in the 'process and products' :lol: )
'The Shoot'
Any comment appreciated, good or bad
