    Black ph1 172

    Hey guys, just a few pics from a long hard weekend on Couzens ph1. She was dropped off to me friday eve (late! ) So I got her washed, the usual iron x & clayed (not needed really, we did her not so long ago)

    The paint work required a little attention shall we say

    Pics! No particular order








    So I went around the car with megs 105 with 3m green & yellow pads. Some area's weren't as bad. Once I was happy I then refined with megs 205 on a 3m blue pad. I left the dredded bit till last! The roof!



    So, with 105 on the 3m green pad not touching it I had no choice. I had to wetsand the entire roof! First time I've ever wetsanded a car before!





    So, on with the dredded sanding. 2000,2500 then 3000. Buffed back up.




    Once that was done I proceeded with the rest of the car, shuts, under bonnet. Black max glaz was applied twice by hand, qd wipe down & applied Vintage. I wish I had another day though, still need to wet sand the headlights.










    Cheers

    It's amazing how much a machine polish can really bring a car back to life!

    Fantastic work!

    Proper detailing Dawn. Love it!

    Can't remember the last time I worked on something as nice and small as the Clio!

    Vintage? You have a small holiday pot or sample?

    The only colour I'd swap this for would be a sunflower, so any sunflower boys want to sort something, I'm all ears!

    I thought you were going to say 1 full day plus friday night, in which case i was going to ask how on earth you managed it.
    Brilliant outcome you have now increased the value of Couzins car
