Polo gti

Post by Prestige Detailers »

Hey everybody im mark from falkirk newbie here own my company called prestige detailers and kenny decided to treat me to his lovely vw polo gti 8)

here a write up of teh day 8)

Well today it was the turn of Kennys G's polo gti for the Prestige Detailers Prestige Treatment

so the car arrived looking in a not too bad condition and with kenny looking tired as usual
Well the Process Went like so

Exterior

Pre soaked with Karcher
Pre Wash with Megauiars Shampoo Plus
Wash With Shampoo Plus And microfibre wash mitt
Wheels were treated to Autoglym Clean Whells Followed By Poorboys Wheel Sealent
tyres had chemical guys X-shine dressing applied
Car Was Dried With Sonus Der Wunder towels
Car was then clayed using Megs Quick Detailer

Polishing

Polished Via Porter Cable 7424

only used Megauirs Number 83 on a cutting pad as the swirls werent too bad

Paintwork was gave a coat of Collonite 476s Using a black finishing pad

Interior

All plastics Cleaned using All purpose cleaner then plastics Treated to interior Finesse
inside and outside windows
carpets and seats sprayed with fabric cleaner and Softer Adgetated and hoovered

so this is how the paintwork was looking before the pc

was some marring and swirling but wasnt too bad (really need a better swirl spotter)

Image

Me hard at work

Image

After the pc'ing it was looking fairly nice and clean

Image

Decided to choose the colonite 476s on the
black as i find it brings out the flake quite nicely on black so 476s applied by damp black finishing pad

Image

and now the afters weather wasnt on our sides but it stil cam eout nice

Nice detailing and explanation/pictures.

Out of interest is there any reason why you dried the car before claying it?

i generally always dry the car before claying mate i usually spray the quick detailer onto the bodywork when still wet then dry :)

i like the surface dry to see what its going to be like when claying and always use plenty quick detailer when cleaying 8)
