And So It Begins...


Recommended Posts

Posted

A few weeks back now I was asking if anyone knew any detailers locally completely forgetting that I had this week booked off work. So, I made a start today on what I can see already is going to become a 'quick wash' of epic proportions!!!! :huh:

Starting at lunch time I rinsed > washed (2BM with wool mitt) > rinsed > washed the wheels > rinsed > washed the rubbers, seals and shuts > rinsed > liquid clay wash > rinsed > 'real' clay > rinsed > dried and then cracked out the Almighty Werkstatt Kit! Damn that stuff is good!!!! Managed to get the Prime Acrylic done and then a coat of the Acrylic Jett... got one complete coat of the Acrylic Glos applied and then decided to go for another coat but the failing light got the better of me! (will hit her with four complete passes with the Glos by the time I'm done)

'scuse the crappy pics, my arms were shaking like buggery after all that and the light was pretty poor! Not off to a bad start though methinks! :headbang:

Round two tomorrow. Was going to take the wheels off to clean them properly but having looked at them closer, they'll need dipping or blasting and a proper refurb (wheel cleaner took a layer of paint with it!!! B) ) so I'll finish up the exterior, sort the glass and get to washing the interior with the Vax - it the weather stays as it has been that is! :unsure:

Thats a jolly fine piece of work Stu, the car looks totally unblemished - I clean mine and it resembles the moon surface :headbang:

Keep up the great work B)

Cheers guys!

The way my shoulder feels today, I think I'm going to need to look into a rotary polisher! Just waiting for the condensation to evaporate then i'm back to it!

looking at that I am almost tempted to go out and do mine.........hhhhhmmmmm :huh:

By the way and slightly off topic I have been Watching Babylon 5 from start to finish and everytime I see this thread all I get is the opening credits to season 5 going through my mind where it starts with " And so it Begins" B):headbang::unsure:

Better throw at least a bucket over mine before Sundays meet.

At the mo the only bit on mine thats clean are the bonnet vents as they've just been sprayed.

See you Sunday
