lilsheepshagga_turbo Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 hi guys, today ive been working on a grey bmw 320 cd. the owner wanted a deep clean rather than a paint correction which is fair enough. inside and out but didnt want his carpets hoovered?? (i thought this was peculiar) but he was paying me so i didnt ask any questions. the car was dropped off in this state. not too bad with a few heavily soiled areas car was then soaked with VP citrus degreaser including sills, petrol cap, wheels arches. door sills and petrol cap were agitated with horse hair brushes. wheels were then sprayed with bilberry (1:3) solution as the wheels had a fair amount of brakes dust on them. both left to dwell for 5-10 mins and rinsed off. next up was VP snow foam left to dwell for 5-10 mins and then rinsed off which resulted in this car was then washed with 2bm with dodo supernatural shampoo and lambs wool mit, which left the car looking like this car all dried off,wheels then sealed with rimwax and megs endurance applied. time to feel the paint, i actually laughed when i did this, closest thing ive felt to sand paper on paint work i believe. decided to go with dodo purposeful purple and megs nxt qd for lube. started with this after the bonnet,which again was the worst ive seen on a claybar, every panel was about the same. claying took me an hour and a half roughly which is twice the amount it usually takes.. the car snow foamed and re washed with 2bm after claying. the exterior was polished with dodo lime prime by hand and then dodo supernatural applied. the wax was left to cure for an hour whilst i cleaned his interior with poorboys natural look and gliptone on the seats. hood was cleaned with autoglym roof cleaner. the results as below and finally a bonnet shot which is always my favourite total time= 5-6 hours thanks for looking again guys -ho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Nice work Ho, bet the owner was well chuffed. How hard do you find DD SN to remove after an hours cure time? I can imagine if you apply a little too thick, it would be a right sod! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine if you apply a little too thick, it would be a right sod! yeh was a bit of a pain but ive learnt the hardway to apply thin layers, first attempt half a year ago resulted in about 40 mins of buffing, this took me about 20 mins max including going back over every panel with a second towel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
