The whole car was treated to the clay bar, including the glass (not the B-pillars) the tail lights were finished using Menzerna Super Finish and a green Über pad.
This is a very basic run down of what was done,
- Wheels, tires, wheelwells cleaned
- Bugs and tar removed
- Door jambs cleaned
- Vehicle foamed
- Vehicle washed via 2 bucket method
- Various boar hair brushes used to clean all the nooks and crannies
- Dried and clayed
- Iron-X and washed
- Dried
- Test panel to find the right products to use
- Entire car compounded with M105 and Über yellow pad or D300 and Microfiber pad
- IPA (isopropyl alcohol dilution) wipe down
- Entire vehicle polished with Super Finish and green Über pad
- IPA wipe down
- Final wash to rid vehicle of all oils and fillers
- Hand apply last stage protection
This list doesn't include all the process for detailing the interior, engine bay, wheels, tires, and wheelwells, door seals, etc. |
Nice! I usually clay the car about every three months as this is my daily driver. I drive about 120 miles round trip so, I get all kinds of stuff on it. I've found that the claying, polishing and a good waxing, really makes weekly washing a breeze.
Your ride looks better than the dealership....
