a very different detail

[FinerDetails]

Got a call last weekend from a friend of a friend. So travelled to his house Monday, and following a cancelation, went there today to detail his 1994 Stretched Limo....

Here's the car sat waiting for me to wash it:

so on with the first stage, karcher rinse, and a good soaking through the karcher:

I washed two bucket method, APC on arches and alloys, and then spent the next 30 misn or so trying asd best I could to clean those alloys :wall:

When I got them as good as I could, I rinsed down, attached the sud soaker and clayed the whol car with DP clay. Dried with my huge massive WW towels, two hours gone! :doublesho

Once dired I moved the car round and into the garage, and took the following PDG readings. Note the low side panel readings, this was gonna cause pain later, and resulted in RDS's being left in.

Nopw dry it was time to capture the 'before' shots:

Yep, nicely swirled all over.....

With such a big job ahead I wasn't going to be mucking about, so out with the Metabo, and a polishing pad. Pionnacle Swirl Remover, and tested on the front wing first. Here's the half and half shot:

I continued with this process (but had to up to medium cut and Pinnacle advance swirl remover for bonnet and boot panles, and follow up with polishing pad and SR.

Next I used the PC, and a polishing pad to apply XMT Finishing glaze to the car, working well in to help clean and prep the surface.

With the paint sufaces prepped I was ready to start waxing:

Yes that is a Poorboys super plush its sat on, so it aint no sample sized jar!!! I appled the Zymol by hand, to the whole car, my hands are like a baby's butt now
here's the same wing shot again after wax:

and the bonnet:

and some others whilst inside:

I then applied Zymol tyre shine to the treads, megs #20 to the alloys, stripped the 3m tape, and cleaned the glass with Invisible Glass Cleaner.

and then out in the natural light:

Sorry for some of the angles of the shots inside, there were restrictions on what could be show in the reflections.

Thanks for reading
