I was hoping to have my car fully detailed for this weekends POL and Ragley Hall meet but I'm nowhere near finishing it. It has taken a lot out of me! I've spent approximately 20+ hours cleaning since Tuesday and I'm shattered. It will simply just have to wait until next week. I've lost all motivation. It's not particularly fun...
So far, I've done:
- cleaned all wheels, inc using tardis and iron x and finished with a wheel wax.
- 2 bucket method wash
- car dried
- tardis applied and wiped and rinsed off
- car dried
- iron x applied and rinsed off
- 2 bucket method wash
- car clayed
- 2 bucket method wash
- car dried
- machine polished bonnet, both front wings
- Polished front bumper by hand
- machine polished rear boot lid
- machine polished roof
- waxed all the polished areas.
- cleaned interior, not as thorough as I would of liked
The machine polishing is very time consuming as I had to go with a cutting compound then once that was done, had to use a finishing polish then was it. Each panel took an average of about two hours. Very hard work. I've now packed everything as I couldn't stand to do any more and went for a lie down. I still have all the doors to do and the rear quarters.
I will do it bit by bit next week. A panel a day I think. And I used to enjoy detailing.....
