Hi to all,
Firstly I must state that I am not a professional detailer and I am looking for help and support. It is my first click and brag so here goes….
My buddy has a 2004 Seat Leon Cupra R and it is a nice car. He was over visiting me yesterday and I drunkenly offered to clean her today. My buddy agreed and it was my first time with a dark coloured car. I have had the Porter Cable a little while now but still need practise.
The paint was really badly scratched and swirrled in places. It looked like someone had been wiping it down with a towel when dry and dirty. You can imagine how this must have looked......
My mate was not bothered about the wheels or interior so it was a quick cleanup inside by him whilst I got the kit ready.
If it was my decision I would have had the wheels off, thoroughly cleaned and sealed with a nice dressing on the tyres, but alas it was not.
So here is the process
Rinse
Wheels cleaned with Sonus Rimbright
Rinse and washed twice
Clayed using Sonus Grey clay
Wash and Rinse
Paint corrected using
Swissvax Medium Cleaner fluid and Sonus Das Orange Pad
Sonus SFX-2 and Sonus Das Green pad
Paintwork cleaned using Swissvax Cleaner fluid
Waxed using Swissvax Onyx wax
All glass cleaned using Autoglym Fast Glass
I have a tree in my property that is dropping pollen and blossom so excuse any white bits. Also my camera aint that great………

It was a fight against the rain all day really. Every time I started a new step I felt a spit of rain. I was worried as I did not want to leave the car half finished or without any wax protedtion but it worked out in the end.
