Hello again and thanks for taking time to check out another write up from OCD-hq at Orchard Autocare. This is one of 11 cars we prepped for this year's Dubshed show earlier in the year After our success last year, we were keen to see how things panned out with us scooping some of the most photographed and talked about cars at the show. including this Mini that was pretty popular over the interweb. After bagging several magazine features. The car is a Mini Cooper running quite a few JCW parts giving a fruity boost to performance and to top ot off a half cage bride seats and one of John Peden's famous hydraulic suspension set ups. Due to time constraints and delays thanks to the car being snowed in half way up a mountain it was booked in for an enhancement in preparation for the show and a Fast Car photo shoot!
On arrival the car was generally in god condition but being on holiday in several engineering facilities was absolutely covered in fallout. so the usual Orchard Autocare wash routine was used:
Orchard Autocare Citrus Preclean at 50:1 dilution (none of this 10:1 nonsense)
Wheel Cleanse for wheels
Cotton Candy Snow Foam
2 bucket method with Bramley Bubble bath Shampoo.
Next up was a good Iron Cleanse to remove the fallout which was even bonded to the glass!!!
After Tar Cleanse proving that it is the best tar remover on the market who needs to wipe when it simply washes off!
Once in the car was taped off and was corrected using Maguire's Microfiber correction system then refined using Orchard Autocare's new Perfection Polish to get the finish spot on. here are the during shots.
Once finished the car was Cleansed using Luminos which we use to remove all fillers and polishing oils leaving a perfectly clean surface for Orchard Autocare's Speed Seal and Perfection to bond to! Tyres were dressed with Glitz tyre dressing and trims were dressed with Speed Seal as was the engine bay!
And for a pretty cool video that was made by I Love Bass!!
