Evening everyone
Here's the Ibis White TT I mentioned in my last topic, the aim was bring it back to new and then some...
It didnt seem too bad at first with a small layer of dirt covering the body, but once jet washed the amount of tar was quite a sight :doublesho
Day 1 not pictured was spent cleaning the interior and protecting the leather.
-Megs APC and the Raceglaze leather cleanse & protect products were used.
Day 2 Pictured Below:
- Jet Washed
- Snow Foamed
- Two Bucket Wash (Not pictured due to the cold )
- De tar
- Clay Bar
- Jet Wash
- Machined Werkstatt Prime
- Waxed with Collinite 476s
- Wheels and other bits
- Glass Cleaned & Sealed
- Plus final touch ups
Day 3
- Mini Photoshoot
Also all of the photos link to my fickr page if you want to see high res pictures.
Pre Jet-wash
Nice bit of tar and gunk here...
This will get a nice polish later
The car was then jet washed and Tardis was used to help break down as much tar as possible before cleaning ( Tardis was used after the clean as well but this wasn't pictured)
Snow foam time
I thought this one was pretty sweet!
The car was then rinsed off and clay bared.
The clay...
Nice and clean...
I'm going to clay the closest section of the bonnet first so you can see how much contamination is picked up from the "clean" paintwork.
Thats the amount of dirt picked up from this small area.
Next up the whole bonnet...
As you can see a lot more dirt has been pulled out of the paint(clear coat)
Remember this car has done only 10k miles and thats what the bonnet lots like, try to imagine what it would look like on an older car with 100k+ :doublesho
The process was continued on the rest of the car to leave it will a silky smooth finish to the touch. This took just over an hour to complete.
Another jet wash after the clay bar to remove any dirt.
Time to dry it down with the PB drying towel.
Werkstat Acrylic Prime for a base to applied the wax, it also helps to improve the finish.
This was machined on with Meg's G220
This needs to be left for a moment before wiping away, you can see it hazed on the paint.
Wax time
Collinite 476s is one of my favourite waxes to use in the winter, should see 6 months protection out of this.
The hard carnauba wax will be applied via my hands, needs to be warmed up in your palms before touching the paint.
This is the last picture of the day, once the wax had cured it was removed.
The exhaust was also polished, wheels, tyres and glass sealed.
Day 3 Photoshoot
The final touches were done to the car and it was ready for pictures.
Enjoy
Exhaust came up nice after a polish
The interior came up pretty good aswell
Showing off the spoiler
As said before the aim was to get it back to new and them some...
It wouldn't be finished without some nice photoshopped pictures to top it off.
Tell me what you think and whats your favourite.
