Race Valeting Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Today I had booked in a Guards Red Porsche 968 cabrio, first day back after the New year due to having a really bad dose of the flu and bed ridden for a few days. On first inspection of the car It was looking very tired and heavily oxidised, the owner wanted it spruced up ready for sale. On arrival this morning at 8:30 the car was heavily iced over and the temp was -2. Befores: Firstly the wheels were sprayed with some bilberry and left for 5 mins then agitated using a selection of brushes, the tyres were cleaned using some g101 and a oxo wheel brush. Next up was a pre wash with some warm cirus de-greaser sprayed onto the lowers to help breakdown the dirt, this was left for a few mins then rinsed. Then the car was snow foamed using some envy foam and a drop of megs shampoo +, this was left for 5 mins then rinsed. Today it was so cold every bit of water was freezing on the bodywork/wheels so then it was washed using 2bm and some dodo born to be mild shampoo and then rinsed. I had to then get the halogens out to try and get some heat into the panels so I could clay the car, it was clayed using some sonus green anf LT as a clay lube, the car was then re-washed and then dried using my Race Valeting drying towel. Now onto the polishing stage, out came the makita and a megs polishing pad with some megs 83/80 this combo seem to be working nicely giving a good level or correction and removing the oxidation. befores: 50/50 The car was then LP'd via the rotary and a blue 3m pad, then the LSP was some dodo supernatural. The tyres were dressed using some espuma rd50 and the hood was brushed and then some 303 hood protectant applied, the glass cleaned using my Race Valeting Glass cloths and some megs glass cleaner. afters: Before After Total time was 7.5 hrs Thanks for looking all comments welcome as usual.
