Up first was a thorough pre rinse of the wheels... [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S012.jpg[/img] Then sprayed with Gloss-It Wheel Gel... [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S013.jpg[/img] ...and agitated with raceglaze and EZ brushes... [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S014.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S022.jpg[/img] ...then rinsed off... [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S015.jpg[/img] Tardis was then applied to remove any tar: [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S016.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S017.jpg[/img] Another rinse followed before Iron Cut was sprayed on to remove any contamination: [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S018.jpg[/img] Not a huge amount to show though: [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S019.jpg[/img] One more rinse... [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S020.jpg[/img] ...and then out with the Meguiars Super Degreaser for the tyres and arches: [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S021.jpg[/img] Super Degreaser was then sprayed over the engine bay...

[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S025.jpg[/img] ...then left to idle for 5 minutes to help with the drying... [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S026.jpg[/img] Meguiars APC was used for all the shuts and exterior trim etc... [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S028.jpg[/img] ...including under the spoiler which was raised to make cleaning easier... [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S027.jpg[/img] I then rinsed these parts with the pressure washer on low pressure @ 60 degrees: [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S029.jpg[/img] R222 was used in the foam lance: [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S030.jpg[/img] This was left to dwell for a few mins... [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S031.jpg[/img] ...then thoroughly rinsed off at high pressure: [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S032.jpg[/img] The car was then washed with the 2 bucket method and lambs wool mitt: [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S033.jpg[/img] Then Tardis was applied before being wiped off with a soft mf towel: [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S034.jpg[/img] Meguiars Mild Clay was used before the car was dried with PB Luxury Drying Towels and the Black Baron. The paintwork was prepped with Raceglaze Pre-Wax Cut and Cleanse: [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S036.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S037.jpg[/img] Then protected with the Black Label wax: [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S055.jpg[/img] Whilst that was being done the interior glass was being cleaned with 3M glass cleaner: [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S035.jpg[/img] Then thoroughly hoovered: [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S038.jpg[/img] All plastic/vinyl surfaces were wiped down with APC: [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S047.jpg[/img] Including the pedals: [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S045.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S046.jpg[/img] 303 Aerospace Protectant was then applied: [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S048.jpg[/img] The leather was cleaned and then fed with Raceglaze Leather Balm: [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S039.jpg[/img] The matts were given a thorough clean too: [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S043.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S041.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S042.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S043.jpg[/img] Then protected with 303 Fabric Guard: [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S044.jpg[/img] Tailpipes were polished with Raceglaze Alutec: [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S056.jpg[/img] Exterior glass treated with Aquartz Reload: [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S058.jpg[/img] And the Sun Gun was used to check for any smears: [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S059.jpg[/img] In between all these details I had been painting the wheel nuts as they were looking a bit worse for wear: [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S050.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S051.jpg[/img] After: [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S052.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S054.jpg[/img] Wheels sealed with Migliore Wheel Sealant and tyres dressed with Gloss-It Signature Tyre Gloss: [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S053.jpg[/img] Last job was to wipe down the paintwork with Migliore QD, give the car a final check and then get the camera out for the afters :) Here's the result after 8 hours: [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S057.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S075.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S077.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S072.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S063.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S073.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S074.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S071.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S070.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S069.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S068.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S062.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S061.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S060.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S067.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S064.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S066.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Clark_VTR/C4S/4S065.jpg[/img] Thanks for looking :) [Edited on 05-09-2010 by BluKoo] [/quote]
