SurreyED30's 2nd Edition 30 #SOLD!
SurreyED30:
Hi All
Back from holiday now, noticed I forgot to upload the mini detail/clean I did the day before I went.
I Gave the car my deep clean/detail:
I always start with the wheels:
Wheels sprayed with bilberry wheel cleaner and agitated with wheel woolies
Wheels deironed/detarred and rinsed down
Wheels only needed a light clay bar running over them
Resealed up with poorboys wheel sealant
Tyres were sprayed with meguiars APC and scrubbed with a stiff brush
Poor boys natural dressing on the tyres
Onto the cars paint:
Rinse with jet wash
Citrus pre wash via pump sprayer
Rinse with jet wash
Snow foam left for around 10 minutes
Rinse with jet wash
2 bucket method wash with dodo juice products
Rinse with jet wash
Air dried the tight areas then pat dried with a mammoth drying towel
Gyeon Iron fallout remover
Rinsed down
Gyeon tar remover
Rinsed down
Clayed the car fine clay and dodo clay lube
Rewashed with dodo juice again
Dried the car again
The paint only needs a very slight detail as theres hardly any swirls in the paint so for now I cheated and used poorboys black hole as I didn’t have the whole day to detail the car with my DA
I sealed the car up with 2 coats of Poorboys Nattys blue paste wax, great stuff and very easy to apply/remove from the paint.
Glass sealed up with CG Jetseal 109 and RainX on the windscreen
Interior was cleaned with meguiars APC and brushed
Wiped down with a very small dialution of IPA to get the last of the sticky of
Dressed with Poorboys natural look dressing
Carpet and seat inserts where wet vaxed and protected with CG fabric guard
I will give the car a full detail at my work unit before the winter comes, this was a few hours work before the car was left for a week on the drive and to tie me over until I get a full free weekend to get the car on axle stands a spend 2 days going over it.
Few snaps a took during the mini detail
Homemade sunshade lol
Few products ready for the washing stages
Citrus prewash stage
Snow foam doing its thing
APC and brushed for the tighter areas
In the buckets
IronX water
After Buffing the wax

Wax applied, cured and buffed off, heres the results :thumbsup:
Car blocked in while im away for a week
Next to the old daily civic
Our 3 cars together, haven’t cleaned the missus car for about 2 monthes …
I didnt dress the exterior rubbers and plastics or the engine bay as i ran out of time and the heat got a bit to much so when I do the winter detail I will give it the full monty 15+ hours treatment. I will upload pictures of that detail when it gets done.
