Evening all!!

 

Just done a new car / winter detail on SWMBO's  brand new Ferbi MK3 Monte Carlo (metallic Quartz Grey for those who might like to know)

 

Process as follows..

 

Wheels cleaned with Meguires wheel cleaner (more to come later) and rinsed

 

Snow foam with Iron X snow foam and left to dwell for 10 minutes

 

Rinse

 

Wash with Meguires shampoo using a Dodo Juice sponge (not like a traditional sponge) and rinsed.

 

Wheels deep cleaned with a EZ detail brush using hot soapy water and rinsed

 

Excess water blown away with my air dyer (oddly enough, lol) 

 

Body work spayed with Meguires Quick Detailer and wiped down with a drying towel.

 

1 coat of Meguires 105 polish on a Dodo Juice green pad via a Kestrel DA, 2 & 1/2 hours process!

 

1 coat of Collinite 915 wax

 

1 coat of Meguires Speed wax, including the door shuts ( I'll explain why later..*)

 

Carpets and seats hovered and treated with 303 Aerospace fabric protector

 

Plastics treated with 303 Aerospace interior trim cleaner

 

Glass cleaned with Meguires glass cleaner

 

Engine bay wiped over with 303 Aerospace trim cleaner

 

Tyres dressed with Meguires Endurance Gand Gel

 

Alloys wiped over with cloth used to apply the Quick Wax

 

*Normally after the polish and wax stage I apply a light coat of snow foam to get rid of the polishing dust. I wasn't able to do this today as there was an issue with a door seal coming away from its mountings around the drivers door, so I was worried about water egress into the car!! I'm seeing the dealer tomorrow to get it fixed.

 

Total time spent was 6 hours approximately. But after all the hard work, the car looks great and SWMBO is very pleased, so that'll do me :D

No pics??

No pics??

Yyyyeah, sorry, I'm not very tech savy in that respect.

Sounds like an awesome detail there Richie!

 

Some pics would be awesome to see the results of your labour.

 

No matter - sounds like you enjoyed the detail and SWMBO is well chuffed :thumbup:

DA polishers I'm pretty good with, posting photos on forums, not so much. Plus I work for a government dept, so I'm pretty reluctant to put my cars on the t'internet...

Just to clarify, I used Meguires Endurance Gel on the tyres. There's a typo I cant change, D'oh!

Wash and wax top up yesterday after the crap weather. Meguires Quick Wax... impressed :p

Ooh, forgot to mention.. Had the door trim / seal sorted by the service dept at my local dealer. They have re-enforced the trim and did a stress test on the part, all good.
