This was the latest Detail,A very nice Mondeo ST Tdi:
The car arrived very clean already but looks can be deceiving as it had alot of bonded contaminants,the clay bar looked like this after a door and a half:
this was AFTER I had applied Tar & Glue remover to the car, which is normally very effective!
Once inside and under the lights, the defects could easily be seen:
bad enough but not that bad compared to some details i've done recently!
As the Blackfire Finishing Polish has done the job on the last few cars with substantially worse swirls and cob-webbing i decided to go with this again, so here's the full process and the after pics which follow:
Wash:
- Poorboys S&S through the gilmour
- Rinsed with the Karcher
- Poorboys S&S through the gilmour again and then washed with 2 buckets and Meguiars lambswool wash mitt.
- Rinsed with Karcher
- Wheels cleaned with plain shampoo and water, Meguiars wheel brush and MF Mitt
- Autosmart T&G remover
- Clayed with Meguiars Detailing Clay
- Dried with Poorboys Waffle Weave
Polish:
- Taped with 3434
- Blackfire SRC Finishing Polish, Meguiars polishing pad via Rotary @1500rpm (twice on the bonnet and roof)
- Jeffs Werkstatt Acrylic Prime, LC glazing pad via PC @speed 5
- Jeffs Werkstatt Acrylic Jett x 2
- Wheels - Acrylic Jett
- Tyres - Blackfire Long Lasting Tyre Gel
- Trim - Chemical Guys Trim Gel
- Glass - Meguiars NXT glass cleaner
Unfortunately no full outside shots as it was dark by the time i'd finished (shock!)
Afters:
