Race Valeting Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Hi folks, well today I had booked in a sprint blue Audio TTS, the car is 2 months old now and the owner wanted some nice protection put on to help with the maintenance. Today was a strange day weather wise, arrived @ 9am to bright blue sun shine but then soon came over with thick clouds luckily missed out of the showers for thw whole day. On first inspection this is what the car looked like, the owner hadn't touched it since he picked it up from Audi. Befores: First job was to tackle the wheels, I used AS Smart wheels and and selection of brushes and the tyres/arches were cleaned using g101. Before: After: I then clean all the door/boot shuts using my swissvax style brush and some g101 then rinsed. Next up was a citrus pre-wash applied to the lowers and left for a few mins before rinsing. The car was then foamed using hyper wash and left to dwell for a few mins then rinsed. Next up a 2bm wash using z sponge and some dodo b2bm shampoo then rinsed. Next up was some tardis which was applied to the lowers to remove some excess tar spots before claying. Then clayed using sonus green hardly any contamination came off pretty suprised really, but shows the had prepped the car up to a reasonable standard for a dealership anyway. A quick re-wash and then dried using my miracle drying towel and last touch as drying aid. Next up the car was LP lite'd due to being pretty clean and mark free, this was applied via a german applicator panel at a time then buffed using eurow buffing towels. Next up was the first coat of fk1000p this was applied to the whole car inc door/boot shuts and also wheels then buffed again using eurow towels after leaving for approx 20mins for curing. Next up I cleaned all the exterior glass using my glass cloths and megs glass cleaner, then the exhausts were polished using megs nxt metal polish. Before: After: Then the exterior plastics and tyres were dressed using Zaino. Now it was time to move onto the interior, its was fully hoovered out and then time to access the dye transfer onto the cream leather :doublesho This was cleaned using some mild g101 and a leather brush and a clean mf 50/50 All the plastics were cleaned using g101 and then dressed using poorboys natural look dressing applied via mf. The interior glass was then cleaned and then time to apply the 2nd coat of fk1000. This again was given a 20 min curing time before buffing. And finally the exterior glass was treated with rainx. Now the final pics: ENJOY Before: After: Before: After: Total time was 6 hrs Owner was deleighted and now booked in for quarterly maintenance :thumb: Thanks for looking Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H5 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Not a fan of that colour though. VW did it on the Golf a while ago (or something similar) and it just looks flat regardless of what you do to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
