Hi all
here we a have a well neglected N reg bmw in solid blue.
anyway heres how it looked on arrival:









as you can see its pretty manky and has plenty for me to deal with. the bonnet looks like its had some form of cleaner applied but didnt have it removed hence the bleaching, theres also plenty of swirling across the whole car and some deepish scratches thrown in for good measure.
first port of call was to give the car a good rinse off with the pressure washer to remove the loose crap then pre-soaked it using a 1:1 dilution of Autosmart active xl making sure it didnt dry out, left that to dwell while i cleaned the wheels with neat Active xl and various vikan brushes,
rinsed the whole car off,wheels and arches,
then washed the car with Zaino Z7 shampoo and rinsed off, while car was wet i clayed using I4detailing uber lime clay and Dodojuice bornslippy lube then final rinse and dry.
this is how it looked after:









im trying out some Mirka polishes currently so thought id give them a go on the boot lid with a Britemax orange pad and C20 compound and got it to this




after that test i cracked out the wool pad and did the whole car with this and Mirka C20


due to the wool pad clogging quite quickly on the bonnet area i had to go over it by hand first to remove the bulk of oxydised/bleached paint then proceed with the wool pad






then a quick rinse off due to dusting from the compound and dryed again, to refine the finish a bit more i used Mirka F05 which gave a nice gloss but left me with holagrams




so used Menzerna po 85 re 5 to finish down with then 2 layers of collinite 915





was pleased with the result but couldnt stop thinking that Purple Haze would give it that little something extra so the next day i went out and gave the whole car a wipe over with some qd then layered up some purple haze throughout the day ( 2 layers in total) and dressed the tires with Cquartz Perl this is the result


















by no means perfect but there were some scratches too deep to correct and some stone chips of various sizes dotted about which needed more than a polish to sort it.

any questions/comments welcome

thanks for looking

Dan

Ótrúlegur munur!

Bíllinn minn er einmitt allur út í svona swirls og ógeði. Þarf að láta massa hann á næstunni...

Alltaf þegar ég sé svona detailing projects, þá kem ég alltaf skuggalega nálægt því að versla vél í svona verk.

Sem betur fer læt ég alltaf undan, veit ekki hversu góð hugmynd það væri. Kosturinn við Silverstone litinn er að swirls eru illsjáanleg á honum.
