How Michael Used Our Products
I've owned the car from new and did not allow the dealer to prep the car for me before I collected it. Since then the car has been spoilt with the best products I can afford.
I always start with the wheels, initially using a diluted solution of citrus power which I allow to dwell for a few minutes before jet washing off. Then I apply bilberry wheel cleaner and agitate with a detailing brush to get into the nook and crannies before jet washing off. The wheels and arches are then washed using a Microfibre Madness mitt, Wheel Woolies and 2 buckets.
Then moving on Citrus power was applied the main body, door shuts and engine bay allowed to dwell and jet washed off. A layer of snow foam was then applied then jet washed off, followed by a thorough wash with Swissvax car bath using a merino wool mitt and 2 buckets. The car was then rinsed with de-ionised water using the aqua gleam system and dried using Microfibre madness dry me crazy.
Then machine polished using a combination of the Rupes LHR75E mini and Ibrid nano, white polishing pads and Koch Chemie M2 compound flooded by a wipe down with panel wipe ready for the wax and trim sealant. A layer of Mitchell and King Blanc as applied to the body, door shuts etc to give a silky smooth finish.
The black trim was sealed using Gtechniq C4 and finally the wheels sealed with Gtechniq C5 wheel armour. The engine bay plastics were treated with Auto finesse dress.
