Had to work quick on this between thunder/lightening/showers.
This is one of our New Car Details (it's what I do).
Looking for a two-fold outcome during this process. Firstly to get the little beast properly protected and secondly to carry out a comprehensive condition check of the bodywork.
At 150 miles George was a tad grubby so needed a good pre-protection clean.
Process:
Snowfoamed with ValetPRO ph Neutral Foam and rinsed.
De-bugged with AutoRae Chem Brite.
Hand washed with Swissvax Car Bath and rinsed.
Alloys cleaned with Autosmart Smartwheels. This also stripped the tyres of the too shiny dressing that the dealer had used.
Car clayed with Sonus Mild Green and Meg's Last Touch lube.
Rewashed with Swissvax Car Bath and dried.
1 x coat Wolfs Bodywrap Sealant applied.
1 x coat Raceglaze 4x4 PTFE Wax applied.
Glass sealed with Carlack Glass Sealant.
Wheels sealed with Swissvax Autobahm.
Tyres dressed with Finish Kare Topkote dressing.
All rubber seals treated with Einzett Gummi-pfledge.
Paintwork checks carried out using a Sun Gun and Positec paint thickness guage.
***
Re paintwork condition check. No chips, scratches or dents evident plus all metal paintwork panels consistent thickness ie no pre-delivery repair work carried out. No chips to alloys.
***
Here are some very quick shots of George as the weather was very iffy. NB: tyres are still 'wet' as the dressing has not yet dried and I wanted to take the pic's quick! FK TK is a self finishing product and evaporates down to a nice natural finish - the shine and all the little white blobs of dressing will disappear!
George's smiley snout:
Looks nice from the rear too:
Black Gloss wheels - what a misnomer but they look great (see previous note about tyre dressing not yet 'set').
