Here`s 2 cars that were done recently, first one was this Audi S3, booked in for a 3 day major correction:
As you can see, it was in need of a thoroughly good detail!
First up with the pre-foam - Megs APC at @ degrees:
Left to dwell for 5 minutes and then rinsed off at high pressure:
The wheels were cleaned up as well as I could but they were far from perfect as they were in need of a refurb in all honesty:
The tyres/arches were cleaned with Meguiars Super Degreaser as usual.
Shuts and exterior trim were sprayed and agitated with P21S:
The engine was sprayed with Eimann Fabrik Engine Degreaser:
Then agitated...
Then rinsed at medium pressure:
The car was then washed with the 2 Bucket Method and Gloss-It shampoo, then rinsed:
After going round with Autosmart Tardis and rinsing again, I put the car inside and clayed with Gloss-It aggressive clay. This removed a considerable amount of contamination:
Now dried off and with paint readings taken (average of 130 microns in most places), I then went round the car to take some pics of the defects.
I should probably mention at this point that the car has been washed with a brush since new...
These pics are probably as good as any to demonstrate why you shouldn’t let the overhead lance from petrol station pressure washers hit your paintwork...
