An almost vintage car, an Alfa Romeo Spider back from XX century, paid us a visit this time.



I started work on a Friday afternoon with a thorough cleaning of the interior – vacuuming all surfaces, cleaning floor coverings using steam and then manually (because I did not want to wet the interior), manual cleaning of leather, plastics and other elements such as the interior of the trunk under the carpet, door bays and spare wheel. Finally, a special conditioner was applied on the leather and all plastics were refreshed and protected.



On Saturday morning, Colin arrived, and from that moment we have worked together. The car was thoroughly and carefully washed – we tried not to allow the water to get into the various nooks and into the car. Fabric roof was separately cleaned with a special product and a soft brush.



After washing and decontamination, we dried it very carefully using a machine that generates strong and warm air stream. Next 14 hours (the rest of Saturday and half of Sunday) we spent correcting the paint, which was very difficult to work with – on some panels soft and on the others very hard. This “chessboard” really slowed our work, because we often had to try different combinations of compounds/polishes and pads. When the paint was almost perfect, the car was again very carefully washed and dried, and we proceeded to the final stage of protecting all external surfaces. Painted elements and the windows were covered with product based on nanotechnology, which gives an amazing slipperiness, glassiness and resistance to weathering for a long time. Plastics and rubbers were treated with special products produced in Poland :). Finally, we secured the fabric roof – this step took us most of the protecting time, because the product should not be sprayed on any other surface than fabric, and this means that we had to tape the windows and the paint very precisely.



After nearly 30 hours of work this beautiful car looks great in our opinion.

Very nice work guys! I agree with Scott, interior is more dramatic than the exterior! Very nice shop also.
