Yet another one done by Clark, this time last weekend...
---
This was the second weekend in a row I had to work, but seeing as it was one of these I wasnt too bothered...
We had seen the car when it was only a couple of days old and the dealer prep was less than impressive, the owner hadnt washed it since - too busy enjoying it no doubt!
Pre-foam first, with R222 through the lance @ 60 degrees:
Left to dwell for a few minutes:
Then rinsed off at high pressure:
The wheels were soaked with Gloss-It Wheel and Tyre Gel (3:1) and left for 3 or 4 minutes:
They were then agitated with all the various brushes and then rinsed:
I then followed up by cleaning the tyres and arches with Meguiars Super Degreaser (4:1):
All exterior trim/badges/shuts etc were sprayed with APC (4:1) then agitated before being rinsed:
Last job before the mitt wash was to get as much of the bug splatter off the front end as possible, using Poorboys Bug Squash:
This was sprayed on, left for 5 mins then rinsed off. The two bucket wash with shampoo plus followed and I then removed some minor tar spots with Autosmart Tardis and rinsed the car off for a final time.
Now inside, I clayed the car with Meguiars Mild:
Not too bad but enough for a car only a few weeks old.
I then pat dried the car with a deep pile drying towel...
...and applied the first of 3 coats of Gloss-It Signature Tyre Gloss:
Paint readings were consistently healthy:
