Title: Had my Pearl Black ED30 Detailed!!
Post by: richtung on May 21, 2013, 08:54:40 am
Hi Folks,

A fellow member on detailing world gave the ED30 a correctional detail over the weekend.
Ive copied the thread from detailing world: http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=307460 (http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=307460)



Hi fellow OCD’ers.

This detail was very special to me as I was contacted by a member on here that had seen some photos of a previous VW Edition30 that I had detailed for a close family friend. I have always detailed friend’s cars and then showcased them on here as we all do. However this one felt extra special to me as I am not a professional in any way it’s simply a hobby, so for someone to ask me, I felt quite privileged.

The detail all in all took me three days (due to the beautiful Manchester weather) but time wise I would say it took 30 hours plus!!
Talking to the owner he had told me exactly what he wanted, which was a full correction to remove the hideous swirl marks that he had always tried to fill in with polish.

The process taken;

On arrival on my drive,

Using my EP800 rotary I did a test panel and settled for a yellow 3M polishing pad and swapped between using scholl S3 gold and extrafine 3M yellow compound. After every panel I would give it a wipe over with some car pro eraser to ensure I was achieving good correction results.

Test panel cut but prior refining,

As always I started on the roof, then onto the bonnet and then around the rest of the car. On the first day I had done all the cutting (11hours) left the refining for the next day. The bonnet proved to be very hard paint and took quite a few passes to obtain good correction.

Next day was poor weather so it was literally do a bit, start raining and come in….break in the clouds and do a bit more!! I managed to get the bulk of the car refined using 3M blue finishing pad and 3M ultrafina blue top polish.

My final day meant I had to finish a little refining off. I then gave the car a through spraying over with car pro eraser. It was then coated in meguiars #7 show glaze as I really really love the look it gives on any car - super duper wet! And then the owner was given a choice of a few waxes / sealants and he wanted me to apply finishkare 1000p.

The car was then snowfaomed, power washed off and then a final layer of 1000p applied.

I then went around the whole car dressing the tyres (autosmart tyre and rubber dressing, unsure of name a friend gave me a bottle), dressing the rubbers, shining the badges and exhaust (meguiars metal polish).

looks superb mate wish there was some sort of course about machine polishing like this really do  :congrats:

The first thing i would advise is joining the detailing world forum- lots of pro and enthusiast detailers on there to offer advice. Also plenty of info and how-to's.

If you live near the Midlands, take a look at the Autobrite section on Detailing World. They run monthly "back to basics" detailing days, teaching the basics of detailing all the way to introduction of machine polishing. the whole day costs £50. Sounds like an ideal course for you  :happy2:

hmm very much doubt it needed fast cut plus!? FCP is very strong and leaves lots of buffer trails. The 3m polishes are also heavy with filling oils so keep an eye that after a few washes you dont actually have buffer trails. Ultrafina is that not strong enough to remove the marks. The yellow top is also heavy in filling oils and will hide lots of marks.

After i have machine polished mine the flake in the paint shows silver,gold and blues and of course black. The reflections are outstanding.

Hi Guys,

Just an update on this. Very recently, the road outside my house was re-tarmacked. It was the only day I took the GF's POS corsa to work and left mine at home. Anyway, come to give the ED30 a wash a few days later, I noticed the wash mit was "dragging" along the paint work. To my horror, I noticed a rough texture feel all over the car  :surprised:

It was obviously the tar from the tarmacking and to say I was annoyed is an understatement!
So, I get in touch with Elliot for a full decontamination process and Winter prep detail.

I requested he used the Car Lack systematic care and then the long life sealant followed by 2 coats of Collinite 476.

As you can see from the pics below, the car is now back to its full glory - the paint is silky smooth again and the protection will get it through the winter.

Enjoy

Rich

I was contacted again by the owner of this now  :p beautiful Edition 30 to carry out a winter protection detail but mainly to remove the HUGE amount of tar that was covering the car and even the windows due to his road being re-surfaced.

He asked me to use his products of choice as he swears by this for winter use and also so he can top up himself if needs be. This was the carlack twins followed by two layers of collinite 476.

Once the car arrived i started immediately due to the shocking weather was on its way!

Usual process; snow, wash, de tar/de-iron, clay, wash again. This was all i could do on day one due to weather however today i have done the polishing / waxing.

On arrival,
