Recently complted job, this modified daily driver and track car has the "Go & stop" with the Supercharger and Brembo's. As a daily the car had quite a bit of built up dirt, marring and fallout on all the surfaces so a prolonged wash/decon was carried out.
Dirt examples before the wash commenced.
Clay step pics.
Evidence from the crime............................lol
Very few correction pics were taken as the color was difficult to get the defects, typical scratches from opening the trunk.
Defects compounded out with Menz cutting compound.
Besides the wheels off for deep cleaning, Alekshop next door did a stud conversion....................more tightness for this car which already has it all.
Same wheel well & caliper after deep cleaning with solvent x and steam/various brushes.
Rear drivers wheel well, the shrouds were in "Hurting condition".
After cleaning before dressing was applied to the shrouds.
Wheel had a layer of embedded silt/brake dust.
The "Space Grey" color is forgiving.........the Black "B" Pillars are not.
After first passes with compound anf MF/cutting disc, some slight haze which polishes out nice as the finished pics coming up will show.
With so much fallout on the car I would go back during the correction step and clay some more so I would not remove anymore clear than needed.
Stripping the trim rubber.
I always like to do the engine bay before the ultra fine polishing step, then complete that task and ultimately apply whatever LSP is going on the finish.
Starting on the removal of the cosmoline.
More dirt.
