how to prepare & protect new investment.....



http://lh5.ggpht.com/_RsduO4BD4FA/TI9LuafUwhI/AAAAAAAAK_E/1HCHBzZgZW8/s800/P1120591.JPG



protect from depreciating - faster (as compare to a neglected ride)



protect against the harsh environment, weather abuse - uv threats to come...





preparing for days to come....a love that last a drive time



begins with

Surface preparations ...Surface preparations ......Surface preparations ......Surface preparations ......Surface preparations ....Surface preparations ....Surface preparations



surface test...after a good wash.....use a damp microfibres (not dry & certainly not with sandwich bags- less is more ) - glides slowly & gently ....feel all the noops...& bumps AKA surface above contaminations



http://lh6.ggpht.com/_RsduO4BD4FA/TI9Lvj5wTgI/AAAAAAAAK_M/Ggr4lJAKy48/s800/P1120593.JPG





lubricate the surface properly prior clay....works best in a cool surface...... ...ensure yr clay is check each time prior claying.......flip over prior moving to the next 2 x 2 feet area

i like to clay top down....rather the other way



http://lh3.ggpht.com/_RsduO4BD4FA/TI9Lv0O4D_I/AAAAAAAAK_Q/CeGEkixlbFY/s800/P1120596.JPG



cross check.....clean & good to go

http://lh5.ggpht.com/_RsduO4BD4FA/TI9Lw_lS5-I/AAAAAAAAK_Y/xiHNgTtSvHk/s800/P1120599.JPG



stop...look ...go....was instil in me from my childhood days before cross any road...by my dad



this principle apply here as well, stop to check & removed whatever sightable contaminant ...removed & folded in & move on

http://lh5.ggpht.com/_RsduO4BD4FA/TI9Lw_lS5-I/AAAAAAAAK_Y/xiHNgTtSvHk/s800/P1120599.JPG

surface contaminants was pick up from a brand new car



any new ride....is goes thru a line of delivery ....right from factory to central warehouse..transport in open area, park in open garage.....delivered to district ware house...sent again by truck to the individual show room - maybe it was park outside prior wash & deliver to you again...
