we got this job on the back off the scotish motor fair



when we were setting up the 3 lambo`s that our clients very kindly lent us for the weekend the owner of the spyker came over and said WOW when can you do the spyker not even how much will it cost but when. he then said our cars on display are showing up his 3 cars :D



so on monday there it was leave the house at 5 in the morning rubbing the sleep out of my eye`s, so went to pick up and then down that A9 following that sat nav to livingstone



so first off was pre soak the spyker with the citrus then to put the extreme foam ontop leave to dwell then rinse off. after the pre soak time to wash with the 2 buckets and wash mitts and dry off with the sonus der wunder towel



now time to check the paint :doublesho

now this car is new and only 254 miles on the clock and god what a mess

not only with very bad swirls but it was also covered in light scratches as if someone had taken one of those ruber blades to dry it off and also the front looked as if there had been stone chips touched up

as you can see its a bit of a mess



so we took the paint readings on all panels and downloaded to the laptop



then masked up the car using nearly 3 rolls of tape



the front needed wet sanded along with the rear off side qaurter panel as we felt the state of the paint was that bad the only way to get a perfect finish was wet sanding

wet sanding we used meg`s unigritt 2500



after the wet sanding we got the makita`s out with cutting pads and the power gloss



we also had to use the power gloss on most of the other panels



next was the menzerna IP with a 3m polishing pad for the whole of the car



after the IP we went for the menzerna final finishing polish with a 3m finishing bad



after

we finished the taping of the car at 10 and we finished the paint work corection at 5 :wall: onlly stopping for 15 mins for lunch



once we were happy with the paint it was time to cleanse the paint work



so out with the HD cleanse this helps the wax to bond with the paint and for this we dont use any other product



so now the paint work was cleansed it was time to get the vintage out

as always the vintage was put on with my bare hands



the wheels were also treated to the HD cleanse and vintage



the glass was cleaned with the HD cleanse



all alloy was polished up



the head lights were de swirled



here`s some after pics hope you like

Wow, very nice! Great job!



How hard was it to correct the Spyker considering all the weird grooves and panels?
 
I love your posts, thanks for sharing. I'd like to get my hands on some Zymol products just for curiosity's sake. Thinking about the creame kit to use on my silver Z06.
 
I like the Spyker but this the first time I have seen a drop top version which im not liking too much. Very nice detail on it, certainly brough the paint back to showroom condition!!
 
That think is crazy!!! Great job on the detail. Well worth your efforts.:hifive: :spot :bigups :xyxthumbs
 
Man you guys did a great job :)



I have a question though. Obviously you guys are pros and know exactly what you're doing... but I've always read here that you should start with the mildest tactic possible to correct paintwork then step up the aggressiveness slowly if your first process doesn't work.



So how did you know it would need the wetsanding immediately? Or is this just something you get with experience?
