Detailed my Mum's car.....AF Rejuvenate - WOW!



I'll be doing a lot of cycling shortly, so today was just chilling at home....cleaning my Mum's car.....as you do! The paintwork is a right state, the previous owner must have used a scouring pad to clean it! But anywho....I didn't want to do a massive correction detail as it would take ages, so I thought I'd see what AF's Rejuvenate could do with a DA, as I know it has a bit of cut in it.

Here's what I was faced with:

So after a normal wash outside, once it was dried an put in the garage....this was the challenge....

So then it was time for my first go with Rejuvenate:

I'll let the 50:50 shot do the talking!

Then it was time for some AF Tripple.....partly because I hadn't used it before...but mainly as this is only my Mums car, I couldn't be assed doing a full wax or sealant layer...so this was a VERY quick but effective alternative.

I applied some AG Bumper Care, as I didn't want to use up my Gtechniq C4!

Tripple buffed off....nice and shiny!

And the result....unfortunately the sun went in as I finished....but it did look damn good in the sun I have to say!

NOTE: I know there are still quite a few marks in the after shots, but those are mega deep, and proper scratches....not just the average swirl marks. I wasn't really bothered about getting those out, just most of the major ones, which I think you'll agree...Rejuvenate did a great job of doing. I really didn't think it was have that much cut to be honest.
Also, in the fiddly parts, I just switched to a pad and applied by hand and STILL got great results. So you really don't need a DA to get good results from this at all.

So Rejuvenate and Trippple a really effective and pretty quick duo in my book. Cheers AF!

Good work fella.

Although, it is a 51 plate Fiesta, I bet it's still rewarding when seeing these results. :approve:
 
Yeh that's exactly why I didn't want to spend days on it.

Also, as my Mum takes the dog for a walk everyday, most days it looks like she's entered the Welsh WRC stage it's that dirty!
 
SHe hasn't got back from work, but she better bloody be that's for sure! ;)

Some sun at last!

Yep, well impressed with AF. But mostly because it was just so easy.

Thats probably the cleanest festa of that age around!

Good job!
 
Nice work, Rejuvenate is a cracking product for enhancements jobs, paired with a polishing pad it can do quite a bit and finish down really well too.

Thanks for sharing and Im glad your happy with the products.

Rejuvenate via DA pulls out a lot of dirt from the paint with a softer pad, but that's some impressive results.

For jobs like that, its handy to have something like tough coat available. Takes minutes to apply and remove and works great with the products youve used already

Cracking results dan, bet your mothers is well pleased.
