Race Valeting Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Today I had booked in for a full valet as the car has been sold and the chap wanted it having a good clean up. I didn't quote/inspect the car prior to taking it in today and boy was it a shock:doublesho:doublesho:doublesho The car had a few scratches also that the owner wanted me to see what I could do with. On arrival: Firstly the washes and arches washed using AS smart wheels and AS G101, the car was then pre washed on the lowers with citrus de-greaser and then rinsed. The car was then foamed and then 2bm wash and the run into the unit and dried using miracle drying and last touch. This is how the paintwork looked under the brinkmann: :doublesho:doublesho:doublesho I started with the front wing and some AG SRP by hand, this did hardly anything so opted for a quick buzz over with the makita. 50/50's After all the machining was done the car was given some AG super resin polish 2. Then the tyres and arches dressed, the interior fully hoover, the plastics clean dressed with 303 and the leather gliptone. Finally the glass cleaned and the exhausts polished. Heres the finished car, don't forget it was just a full valet, not a correction but I couldn't have the car looking like that on return. Brinkmann shots: Engine shots it was given a quick wipedown and then dressed with 303: And finally before: After: Total time was 6.5 hrs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chriswillis Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Did you manage to do anything with the slight scratches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 350Z Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Ah, did you not get rid of the GB sticker? Wouldn't that make a difference if he was to remove it himself? Nice shiney Mondeo with an oval of swirls!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Race Valeting Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 Ah, did you not get rid of the GB sticker? Wouldn't that make a difference if he was to remove it himself? Nice shiney Mondeo with an oval of swirls!! I asked the owner if he wanted it removing but he said just leave as the person buying may want to go abroad..... More likely it was hiding something, as it was all bubbled under the sticker. Yes the scratches were removed/filled with the polish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuck Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Looks like a lifetime of sanpaper and grit bucket washing!

M13KYF Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 looks like the car has only been put through carwash machines at the petrol station. Think thats why the sticker looks creased. Shocking Excellent work done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
