Really enjoyed todays detail, (was the first 350 i've done where it hasn't rained!) Car gave a massive transformation, and Neil was more then happy with the work carried out, he even let me have a drive afterwards

Anyway i'll let the pics do the talking:

Heres the car upon arrival:

Firstly the wheels were cleaned using autobrite very cherry, the car was then given a good covering of citrus degreaser to strip the car of the old wax, and then given a coat of snow foam which was left to dwell for a few minutes for the snowfoam to drag the dirt and old wax off,

Heres some pics neil took of the dirty foam,

The car was then re-snowfoamed, then washed using 2 bucket method, dodo BTBM shampoo and washmitt,

After the car was washed, and inspected for tar, i found very little tar which meant no need for tar removal

The car was then clayed using some Meguires clay and last touch as lube

Very little contaminants on the car:

Then before i gave the car its final rinse, i did the engine bay,

Before:

after:

The car was then dried, using a varity of drying towels and last touch as a drying aid this time:

Before i started on the machine enhancement, Neil asked me if i could take a look at a few bits and bobs round the car and see what i could do with them, this included a few scratches which i tried to take the edge off to make them less visable, and gave the headlights a polish as one was quite cloudy.

Scratch before:

scratch after:

the whole car was then hit with Lime prime to clean the paint

wheels completed:

exhaust cleaned:

The car was then given two coats of Autobrite Addiction wax on the lighter areas, and purple haze pro on the black and carbon areas,

The tyres were dressed with turtle was tire gel, and plastics and windows cleaned,

Some Finished photos

and also a picture of all the beer Neil drank whilst doing the detail

Been an absolute pleasure doing this car, can't wait to see the improvemants that are going to be made on it in the near future

My pleasure, thanks for bringing it over

Charging £7k a pop washing super cars, you would have thought he would have found a more sensible place for his laptop?

 

 

Or is that just me?

Yeah but all joking aside, what a garage!!

That is very good ... was going to say a rough budget guide line would be 300-350 so thats not to far off ...

 

Ideally id like Components (Good SQ) ... Good Amp that can run these and a 10" good sub ... not looking huge wattage more SQ and subtle.

 

Would consider second hand stuff if its in perfect condition.

 

Ideally double din headunit but that obviously would be in a different budget ...

For the Money the stuff that i've posted is top notch, it's all well matched and will give good SQ

this seems like a very good deal..

well it is really hard to suggest something without a budget, and it also depends on how good you want it to sound, how many amps you want etc etc

Do you want a headunit?

Yeah engine cover will be done as well,

heres a pic of the focus engine bay that he has done as well:

whats your budget?

there just skulls, there brand new so should work lol, the bit that has been painted is a solid surface so no paint will have got in any gaps etc.

Picked these up from petrolheadz the weekend, there goin to be going in the 350 when i get it

HP5

HP1KD

Does it have to be a 350z?

 

I'm a member that still doesn't own one, but i got a car with a shed load of mods on it

i didnt write the rules but i could take a flying leap it at least has to be of the zed family...

I still haven't seen this car round stafford yet, I've seen the MR2 in the background a few times tho!

that looks incredible!

Good luck with the sale, i'm sure this wont stick around for long

Yeah 4" Pad, was a red polishing pad from autobrite, with 3m Fine polish, (yellow top) it got rid of the cloudyness with 2 passes, but there was still one or two deep RDS

Yep Pm'd

Cheers for the comments guys, i'm glad to have finally got a car done to show you guys what i'm about,

The headlights can be caused by a few things, just general daily wear, stonechips, and UV sunlight, they can be treated using polish in the same way that paint can be,

In certain cases when the headlight is really bad you can use some wet and dry sand paper to great effects, and then refine with polish, but it is alot of work and elbow grease to do that, and ultimatly alot of $$. But can be done!

Thanks for the feedback
