Envy Valeting Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 More Envy Valeting protection detailing on the Isle of Man Needs a good clean... Cleaned via the usual method. Wheels with Envy Brushes and Espuma Revolution @ 10:1, foamed with Bubbly Jubbly. Shuts etc cleaned with G202, rinsed and washed with Espuma Astro and the two bucket method. Dried off the de-tarred with Espuma TGB. Clayed with CG blue clay, then paint cleansed with Dodo Lime Prime lite via the PC. Waxed with a current favorite Wax allowed to cure whilst I dressed the tyres with Espuma RD50, polished the tail pipes, glass, interior Swissvax'd. Afters, only 2 as the camera was playing up I'm sorry to say.. and a little Seat from the day after. Process the same as above Best wishes Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubber Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Look great Quick question - the close up shot of the panel with the streaks, is that the remains of tar spots after the Espuma TGB? I normally just wash and go straight for the clay bar to remove the tar. Does this stuff loosen it before the clay bar? Cheers, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spray it on, wait a minute or 2 and wipe with a clean MF and its gone.On cars with a LOT of tar its far faster (and cheaper) to remove the tar with a product rather than ruin an expensive clay bar. I then clay after to get the bonded contaminants off. Best wishes Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubber Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Cheers Tim. That's impressive stuff. I have used stuff like Autoglym Bug and Tar Remover in the past but I have never seen it dissolve the tar to that extent. As you say though it's probably very only very badly tarred examples - don't think I would let the Zed get in that state! (let alone a Continental GT some people have more money than sense!!!!!)

Envy Valeting Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 It is good stuff. The Autoglym you mention also do a glue and tar remover but that is more of an apply by cloth and rub product. The Espuma is a bit more effective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 This pic made me cry a little.... I can kind of understand someone letting the outside get rotten but that's just wrong... It looks like the back seat of a Renault Scenic after the school run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Lovely rubbish dump. Good to see some lovely depth in the paint after though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
