My first ever time detailing and its on a black car.



This detail took em two days to do.



Day 1 was underbody, wheel wells, brakes, engine, interior

Day 2 was paint.



I`m pretty impressed with how it turned out and had to show it off.



1. Wash with Meguirs NXT

2. CLay Magic Blue using the Meguires wash as lube

3. Wash again

4. Poorboys SSR2.5 on Edge Yellow Pad

5. Poorboys SSR1 on Edge Green Pad

6. Poorboys Pro-Polish on Edge Blue Pad X 4

7. Poorboys EXP on Edge White Pad x 3

8. Engine Cleaned

9. Undercarriage cleaned



All work was done with PC7424



The before pictures don`t show how bad the paint really was, there were scratches and blemishes galore, the car is now 90% perfect.



The front lip had some scratches on it which I had painted and wet sanded. There are some chips that only a repaint will get out. So perhaps in the future ill paint the front end.

Yeah its right hand drive, and it`s only just occured to me how ugly the wheels look.





Ill try to get some tire dressing for next time, wasn`t too sure what to use really. Didn`t want to use the armorall **** i have from years ago (I used it up on the plastic inthe wheel wells though).



Hopefully next time around ill be able to get it perfect
