Big clean preparation

Jordan Apex · 10th April 2015, 16:46

Started rummaging earlier to see what I could muster up for my big clean which I am planning for tomorrow! It is meant to be nice from 11-12 so I will get the grimey bits done before hand!

Planning full decontamination and 2 stage correction tomorrow, then to seal the car with a ceramic sealant if the weather looks good enough! Although I imagine I will have to resort to the wax...

If anyone is local and wants some cleaning bits drop me a message, obviously some of the stuff I won't give away but I don't mind with most of it

Well the decontamination is done, it's raining as predicted, just to wait for it to stop and then dry and ipa wipe down ready for the correction

hopefully it stops in the 2 hours predicted

got a couple of quite heavy scratches I am hoping to remove but if not they should reduce very significantly

Hi Jordan, I'm sure there must be some car products that you are missing but I can't for the life of me say what!

I can name about 10 types of product off the top of my head

by the way incase it was unclear I will give away some stuff not sell it, I just won't say yes to giving everything away as I quite like the stuff I have

Good progress, sun is shining too! Come in for a lunch break and a rest of the back

only about an hour or so of work left to do and then it will be ready for brooklands tomorrow

Very nice.

I used Sonax cut and finish, which left a lot of holograms, did a fab job, followed by Sonax perfect finish to remove the holograms and tidy the finish up.

I can see the deepness of your shine, did you use a glaze?

I had a few holograms but I think that was more user than product because it was happening on the more difficult to control areas like the base of the doors and what not!
I used tripple after so it is a sort of glaze and a supernatural hybrid wax

So many different ways to achieve shine! I used this as more of a learning step than anything but obviously it has the benefit of an improved look on the car too
