Envy Valeting Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Good afternoon to you dear viewer(s?!) and hope you are sat comfortably. I have for you today a rare treat, kindly afforded to me by the recent upgrade of our services to being enhanced by having a unit. We are now able to do longer term work that requires a car to stay for a while, such as wheel refurbs, Ventureshield/PaintGuard installs, specialist Nanolex coatings (which need to cure for longer than is normally afforded) and the like. This car was put through the mill, paint correction, a wheel refurb and the Ventureshield front end protection package. The final icing on the cake was 2 coats of Bouncers fabulous Vanilla Ice wax. UK produced, and applied with care and attention from our side Now, some of you will have already have seen the car before and know I've looked after it since new and no doubt be wondering why it needs paint correction! Well, she lives under a carcover which is tugged on and off (and yes I have mentioned Airchambers) and you can see the end result's here. Sit back, enjoy the ride. Here she is after the trip down from Ascot with the newly refurbished wheels already fitted and sealed with Wolfs Rim shield Wheels soaking with AS Smart wheels and door shuts given a spritz with G101 and soaking too whilst the Bubbly Jubbly SSF got to work. Allowed to dwell then rinsed off at high pressure then washed by the two bucket method, detergent free shampoo etc and brought in to dry off. Clayed with my favorite Dodo Juice Gentle Grey, with not much to report here as its looked after regularly. Random view of the interior for you Measure the paint and make a start taping up etc Now, I had a dream about doing the car and I really wanted to be "Living the dream", as, in the dream I used my Flex with a soft pad and a refining polish and that was it! The reality was, sadly, different.... Yes to the Flex, but started with Scholl S17+ and a Megs Yellow pad and ended up on the Scholl SO3 Gold and did a 2 stage polish to correct the paint. Coarse cut with the SO3 Gold, sometimes 2-3 hits followed by a refine and wipe down with Menzerna 85RE and Car-Pro Eraser. This gave me the following view Some work in progress pics for you all End of Day 1 Back to it End of day 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Envy Valeting Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 Day 3 begins All of the polishing was out of the way, time to de-dust and do the final wipe downs and checks with the Sun Gun to make sure it was as good as can be. Treated the mirrors plastic with this very effective product from Car-Skin The rest of the car (all bar the bonnet, front bumpers and wings) was given its 1st coat of Bouncers Vanilla Ice Time for the Ventureshield Install, nerve racking for me to watch I have to say but they did a top job and you really do struggle to see their work once its on. Top work by Steve and Matt:thumb: After this was done the car was given a 2nd coat of Bouncers Vanilla Ice and de-dusted again, tyres dressed, tailpipes polished, glass (and perspex) cleaned and an interior tidy up. Once outside she is gleaming! Hope you have enjoyed this rather rare car, and rare write up from us. if you do want to be kept more up to date with what we do please click on the FB and Twitter links below.
