Envy Valeting Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 One of the 1st cars to be detailed as part of a new Swissvax detailing centre near Zurich. My heartfelt thanks to the owner for allowing us to work on his beautiful car and also my thanks to Lamborghini St.Gallen for looking after us so well. OK the car was subject to a full Swissvax/Swizol detail and also some minor paint correction was carried out to the bonnet/wings as you will see why. The car was washed for us already by Lamborghini so the 1st stage for us was to take some before pictures. Please bare with the write up as its to be used all over the internet so may have some details/information that will bore you but it has to cater to the masses Now you can see why we needed to do some extensive work on the bonnet, some more pictures to make you squirm. The best/worst.. After washing the 1st stage of the process is to prepare the car using paint rubber to remove bonded contaminants such as bugs, tar, fallout and overspray to leave a silky smooth surface. Following this treatment over the whole car it was time to work on the bonnet. To remove these marks I initially tried a gentle polish but had to change to a more aggressive polish to make progress via a Dual Action Polisher (DA) Work in progress A lot better The next stage is the application of a pre wax cleanser/cleaner fluid to make sure the painted surface is squeaky clean and ready for the wax. Generally this is the longest stage of the process and makes the biggest difference to the cars appearance. We used Swissvax/Swizol Cleaner fluid. For the matt painted areas we used the new Opaque range of products as follows Once all the surfaces had been pre wax cleansed it was time for the wax. On this car we used Crystal Rock, applied and removed after 10mins. Wheels were clayed, cleansed and waxed with Autobahn wheel wax. Tyres were dressed with Pneu, glass cleaned with Crystal, and it was time to take some after shots. Please enjoy. And finally something that caught my eye. I would have bought it (yeah right..) but it was not road legal! 2 more to follow when I get time to do the write ups Thanks for looking, and if you are a Swiss or German resident and want to make a booking we are OPEN for business Best wishes Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Envy Valeting Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 What the hell happend to the bonnet Tim. Fantastic after shots. Whats the opaque stuff all about? The opaque products are for matt paint and wrapped vehicles ie it protects but is non-glossy compared to normal waxes. Its very good!
