delz0r Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Hi guys, my zed was in dire need of a detail. When I picked it up it had lots of tar and swirls on the bodywork making the ultra yellow appear dull. I'd planned to do a step by step run through of the process but I couldn't get a loan of a good camera. So instead here's a few pics(iPhone sorry) and a list of the products I used. Prep - Valet Pro - Bilberry Wheel Cleaner - Valet Pro - PH Neutral Snow Foam - Valet Pro - Poseidon Carnauba Wash - Valet Pro - Citrus Tar and Glue Remover - CarPro - Iron X - Meguiars All Purpose Cleaner - Meguiars Last Touch + Meguiars Clay Bar Polising - EP801 Rotary Polisher - SONAX Perfect Finish Polish - Chemical Guys Orange Hex Pad - Sonus SFX-2 Paint Polishing Pad Sealant/Wax - Carlack 68 - Long Life Sealant - R222 Carnauba Wax - Poorboys Wheel Sealant Finishing - Meguiars - Glass Cleaner - Wolfs Chemicals - 'Blackout'trim dressing - Meguiars Hyper Dressing - Meguiars High Gloss Tyre gel - FinishKare #425 - Ultra Slick Polywipe Deep clean with snow foam + APC mixture wash IronX exposed lots of iron particle contamination ... The surface was clay barred to prepare the paintwork for polishing.. Here's a pic of the paint before polishing. Plenty of swirls. After rotary polishing ... After sealant + wax applied... All done ... Some beading shots... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mouthwash Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Love the black lip with the yellow, is that standard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delz0r Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 Love the black lip with the yellow, is that standard? It's not standard, I plastidipped it. It made the front end much more aggressive, I'm very happy with it.

I used bilberry before hand, it's an awesome wheel cleaner . Ah - it looks purple on my screen ... I just remember someone on detailing world a couple of years ago not following the diluting instructions and it ate their wheels I used to use it 1 /10 dilution and whipped it on and off rapido like! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
