This one was done to spec for the client ( member on here ).
Removal of some swirls and scratches and punch as much gloss back into the finish as possible.
Car had not been seen to thoroughly for 2 years and felt very tired and well contaminated.
2 stage enhancement was called for and interior spruce up ( which we got carried away with )
12 hours ( due to traffic ) divided by me and my part time lad, 1 day onslaught, the clock was ticking.

Before:









Wheels were very tired and after 2 hits with autosmart smartwheels at different dillutions and 1 hit of autosmart ali a decision was made thats as far as they will come up without being off the car.
Full pre foam and 18 point wash process, de-tarred and clayed.

This was lower of one door after a good clean and de-tar with tardis:



Paint was measured and was very scatty ranging from 180-190 and as far down as 94 microns.
Paul had mentioned that in its life it had had several sets of machine polishing which figured.

Cobination was elite long pile wool with S17+ for cutting at single stage then planet polish blue pad with scholl S40.
Wing before:



After such process:



50/50:



Better view between wing and bonnet:



And so we continue.
Same process was undertaken all way through though erring on the side of caution round the upper rear quarters which were lowest readings and O/S rear door which had recieved some paintwork.



Bonnet 50/50:



Coming up nicely.





Areas round badges etc were undertaken with scholl S17+ on sonus german applicator.
Car was an everyday work horse so its understandable that quite a bit of RDS remaining but over all, a much needed, enjoyable and visual turn round.

Protected with scholl SW20 spray sealant and collinite marc de elegance.
All glass cleaned using autosmart clear view, trims/tyres dressed and wheels sealed with smart rimwax.

Under the car, backbox recieved a coat of satin matt black to finish it up nicely

Some afters:



























Interior afters only:

Cheers.
Time was a factor after the crazy traffic but ive kind of got a grasp of what I need to do on these now after getting so many of them.
Cracking cars but do get tiring after a while.
