    Think I'll have a silver one today!

    Hey guys, this was my first time with a silver vee & it was great! Such a refreshing colour for the vee.

    So, the process

    Wheels/arches/tyres cleaned with Autosmart, g101 & Iron X
    Car foamed with a G101 mix & foam
    Grills/shuts etc cleaned with various brushes & finger mitt
    Car was then rinsed
    She was then washed with Zymol shampoo & the Aquartz mitt
    Rinsed!
    Iron X applied all over, not alot of contamination. On the rear mainly
    Rinsed again
    Clayed, dropping a good chunk too
    Then snow foamed again & washed
    Rinsed & rolled in
    Dried & taped up
    Machine polished via Rotary & Micro prime
    Z6 wipe down
    Blacklight applied via hand
    Acrylic Spritz applied
    Next morning -
    Another coat of Acrylic Spritz
    Applied Nattys Blue liquid wax via hand
    Z6 wipe down
    Applied R222 Concours wax
    Z8 final wipe down
    Windows/shutsWerkstat Primed
    Tyres/trim Wolfs blackout

    Pics! I love silver!



































    cheers!

    silver is one of the best colours for any car imo, its so fresh and clean also not too in your face.

    Lovely job done there!

    Ah they say Silver is s**t for detailing... what the feck do they know.

    Some of your best work there Dawn.

    Not sure on the wax and Z8 due to the solvents etc. I'd have went with a nice sealant. Zaino especially.

    Still, simply immense work hun.

    Re: Think I'll have a silver one today!

    I like to mix it up, get bored of following the usual! I have used z8 on top of R222 before, still seemed to bead lovely!

    cheers for the very kind comments guys!
