Polished Bliss Detailing Maintainance Plan

[cupra_clark]

This Car belongs to a Customer that brings the car to me every month as part of a maintainance plan to keep the car looking A1 condition, it received full paint correction by myself around 5 months ago now ( i think) :)



He does a very good job of keeping it clean most of the time so it never needs a huge amount of work, the paint is also stupidly soft, i`d say its actually softer than the likes of Honda paint etc.



So this is what the Process was and the pics follow :)



Wash:



- Meguiars Hyper Wash through the gilmour

- Rinsed with the Karcher

- Meguiars Hyper Wash through the gilmour again

- 2 bucket method with Meguiars Shampoo Plus & Lambswool Wash mits

- Wheels Cleaned with normal shampoo and water and Megs wheel brush

- Rinsed with open ended hose

- Dried with PB Waffle Weave using Pat dry method



Polish:



- Menzerna PO85RD Via PC & Meguiars finishing Pad @ Speed 5

- Blackfire Wet Diamond via German Applicator Pad

- Meguiars Nxt Glass Cleaner on glass

- Chemical guys Trim Gel on trim

- Blackfire Long Lasting Tyre Gel on tyres

This car is always a pleasure to do as the paint has very little orange peel so the final results are always rewarding, as can be seen from some of the reflection shots :)

what`s gilmour and karcher ? and how come people use the machine to polish then hand polish after ? isn`t the machine enough ?? and if you were` to use machine, do you put the polish on the machine or paint ? im pretty much new at detailing. im also wondering if you`d do the same for waxing.... machine wax then hand wax. is paste wax usually used on machine waxing ? and what`s it mean by "pop" ? thanks much
