my zed over the weekend

[coopsman1]

it was an early start to the morning at 7am,I wanted to beat the rain. unfortunately due to a heavy session on the beer last night i wasn't really looking forward to it. Still i pressed on.........

Unfortunately i didn't get any before pictures so straight into the cleaning, this is the pre-wash where i let the foam penetrate all the loose dirt and let it glide off.


Then a rinse off and I began the washing process with lots of suds:



This is how it turned out after the wash, with a quick reflection shot:



I started the claying process with lots of lube to avoid any damage, below is a picture of the area i done for you guys to see:


This is what it pulled out of the paint:


After the claying process another wash to remove any grime from the clay and this is how it turned out:


Quick reflection shot:


By this point the good old british weather kicked in so i was lucky to be indoors:


So I then moved on to machine polishing where i restored the paintwork and removed any swirls etc


After that i decided that i wanted to seal the paintwork and give it a high shine look so on it goes:


Quick reflection shot:


As you can see the reflection is getting better,while i let the sealant harden and supple the paintwork i decided to do the interior:
Clean boot:

clean interior:

Nice and clean air vents:



By now the sealant has done its job so i buffed the excess off and this is how its looking so far:




Now it was time to apply the wax and finish it off, this is a very expensive wax at £95 a pop and 58% brazilian white carnuba. i applied and left to harden for an hour. This is the final result with me waving to everyone:


I then moved on to the wheels and arches, i was some what surprised to see that some bees/wasps had started to make a home in my drivers wheel arch:


So i decided that because they were not paying rent I shall evict them, I then pressed on with the wheels, here are a few before pictures:



After a clean up, not perfect but i am going to refurbish them so not too important:



I then moved onto doing the door sills and water channels in the same process, didn't take any pictures as its the same as above.

Hope everyone enjoyed reading this, as you can see i try to do the best i can, so here is a finished picture

lovely and shiny.
