heres golf number 2 out of 3
A gti colour concept
this wasnt as last time a full correction
a clean and quick polish up was all that Gareth wanted
looking at the car ,you could tell that it looked dull,so on with the detail to try and breath a bit of life back into her,when the sun did shine you can now see the metalflake that Gareth didnt know was there:D
first the wheels ,these were nice deep dishes,needing the baked on brake dust off,this was acheived using a combo of tardis,very cherry and some good old g101,to get the baked on brake dust off i used and aggressive clay bar from Autobrite and used a weak solution of g101 this shifted most of the gunk,but ate the clay,but never mind end result that counts
after the wheels were washed onto snowfoaming and further washing using TBM,the lower half was clayed using Megs last touch as lube and a fine clay bar from Autobrite,look how much crap this pulled off
onto to the polishing stage
decided to tackle this with a megs soft buffing pad using menzerna final finish on the bigger panels and switched to a smaller hex logic for smaller bits
after this applied a coat of Poorboys black hole by hand,then used my fave new wax/sealent as prvious golf,namely Wolfgang fuzion,got a nice level of shine,then it bl**dy rained ,only a breif shower,but managed to get some beading shots
after drying off applied another coat of Fuzion,dressed plastics,cleaned windows,dressed tyres etc,For the balck trim i used a brilliant product from Autobrite called 3D Trimcare ,really great product to use and apply etc,cant fault it
cleaned the exhaust with megs and fine wire wool and a secret tool,might show it one day!!!
so onto the pics
as always any comments,help etc appreciated,look out for part 3 soon a golf r32 with a carbon wrapped roof
cheers
