I seem to have had silver week, makes a pleasant change from black
I didn't take any befores as the car looked nice and tidy when I first saw it.
Started out with a snowfoam, cobra wash mitt, and pinnacle bucket with grit guard wash. This was followed by the car being de-badged, owners request. Whilst he removed the badges I gathered my Glue and Tar remover together. This was then used to remove all sticky stuff, and also all the tar spots all around the car which show so heavuily on Silver cars. I then started claying with White Poly clay, and the supersprayer. Dried dow with the Cobra Guzzler Drying Towel.
Once taped with 3m 3434 low tack masking tape, and the paint depth recordings made I started out doing my test machining section. The sirls weren't too bad, so the 3M Machine Polish, coupled to a Wolfgang Polishing pad and the rotary managed to clean the panels up nicely.
Before and after shots:
The silver colourproving as difficult as ever to capture with the camera.
Once the machining was complete I took Klasse AIO and the PC for the second stage, applied and cleared panel by panel. This was topped with Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant. The alloys had the same treatment too. Arches and Tyres dressed with Finish. Glass was cleaned with Glass Clear. The Pipe was cleaned with Megs NXT Metal Polish:
The Afters:

THE GUY IS A GENIUS !!! (and thanks for the tea). If you ever thought about getting your car detailed - DO IT and get Iain to do it, the results speak for themselves.
loving the refurbed alloys Fenboy how much did they cost in the end ?
) they strip all the wheels off car, strip paint/refinish any imperfections on the wheels, powder coat with colour (and a clear coat too I think?) then they fit fit tyres if legal if not can fit new ones, new valves, balance etc and fit back on to car.
