Envy Valeting Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 A small review of the 350's I have done this year..... OMG what an early start this morning 05.00 Jeez and road trip to Kent. Car upon arrival A typical wheel Tail pipe The wheels were cleaned with AS smart wheels and my trusty Swissvax brush, and EZ detail. I then rinsed the car over with the jet wash and then sprayed with Hazsafe, allowed to soak then rinsed from the bottom up. Car snow foamed with SSF through my autobrite HD lance and used the 2 bucket method, grit guards and LW mitt. Rinsed and dried with Raceglaze towels, and now looks like A weird day weather wise as I dried the car over 5 times. The atmospheric conditions meant that water just kept on condensing all the time. Most odd. Once semi dry the car way clayed and it was time to break out the PC and Dodo Juice Lime Prime. Buffed off and re-dried yet again a panel at a time as I applied my Swissvax Divine by pad. Always an event to get to use Divine and its the 1st time this year! I waxed no more than 2 panels at a time and buffed off as I went. By now the paint was so so smooth and looked fabulous, very slick. Post waxing I cleaned off previous paint cleansing attempts (found many SRP type traces all over it!) with the 3 in 1 Megs brush. Tail pipes were cleaned up with Autosol and wire wool Glass was cleaned externally with AS glass, alloys were waxed with ABWW, any tyres dressed with Highstyle. That pretty much concluded the externals afaik (but bound to have forgotten to mention something as so tired!) Internally Henry came out to play. Plastics were cleaned and dressed using Swissvax, internal glass cleaned with AS glass. The leather seats were cleaned with Swissvax leather cleaner followed by leather milk and came up a treat. Here are the afters: Last but not least my personal favourite which shows off Divine superbly I reckon. Cheers for looking Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Envy Valeting Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 Thats very true but this year I've been all over the place, the furthest north was Bolton and Chroley to do a nice Ferrari 246 Dino If a round trip can be made or a few in the same place it becomes more economical for all.

GIXXERUK Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 judging from the pics, i prefer the swissvax, its seems to give a deeper shine/gloss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Envy Valeting Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 It can be difficult if the weather is humid, or too cold and the air keeps condensing moisture. The Divine car I dried about 15 times before I could wax it as the moisture kept forming! Interesting you prefer the Swissvax Divine, I'm quite taken with the Vintage!
