Having tidied up we stopped for bacon butties, and let the car dry off a bit of its own accord. I then dried using a Super Guzzler, and the odd spritz of QD.
Once dried we taped using the 3m tape, set the kit up amd took the PDG readings:
Dave taping up:
Whilst I was doing that, Andy went round and marked the spots requiring some extra attention:
First up was the Metabo, a wolfgang polishing pad and pinnacle Swirl Remover. Here's the minor swirling before shots:
I didnt take the after shots, whilst the bonnet was improved, and the surface swirls had been removed, all I could see under the halogen light were the swirls the bodyshop had sprayed over - Gutted! So onwards, continued with combo and de-swirled surface blow over panels and the original panels. Needless to say, the original panels all looked mint, shame the bonnet had the swirling underneath. Both Andy and Dave got to experience the rotary and its power:
Next using a finishind pad on the Metabo and Pinnacle Advanced Finishing Polish we worked my way round, putting a true shine back into the paintwork:
Using the PC, a finishing pad and Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant, applied to the whole car and left to cure for 30 minutes.
Whilst that cured Andy applied megs #20 sealant to the alloys. Wiped the wolfgang clear, cleaned the windows in and out with Stoners, Poorboys Bold n Brite in arches, and Optimum Tyre Shine to the treads.
I then applied Collinite 845 IW using a Megs foam applicator, left to cure for 20 mins, and wiped clear with a Poorboys Ultra Plush MF. A final wipe down with Pinnacle Crystal Mist, and the detail was complete. Here's the products we used on the paint:
