A correctional/enhancement detail on this recently aquired 56' beauty.
Befores











First job was to citrus pre-soak the exterior paintwork with a warm solution,



Once rinsed 2 applications of foaming solution applied and left to soak whilst the alloys were cleaned with Bilberry and various brushes,





Then set about washing with DG 901 using the TBM and Zym@l sponge,





Once rinsed I was left with some contaminents to alloys,





Removed with yellow polyclay,



Paintwork clayed whilst wet with Zaino clay and LT lube,





Re-rinsed and dried using DG plush towels,



"Sort" of surprised at the defects considering the dealer it had come from recently,







Took some readings on the panels that weren't plastic and found plenty of paint to play around with,



Plan of attack was a 3m polishing pad & Menz 106fa,



Once all panels were completed an IPA wipe down was done,



Arches were then treated with DG non silicone dressing and Poorboys sealant to the alloys and left whilst SV Best of show was applied to the panels,



Whilst the wax was left to cure the interior was given a quick tidy up and Gliptone applied to the leather trim,



Wax was then removed from the paintwork and alloys,
Glass cleaned with SV Cristal glass cleaner,
Tyres dressed with CG new look,
Chrome cleaned with DG metal polish,
Final wipe down with Zaino Z8.

Finished result
